Relatively rainy drive so far. Hoping the weather doesn't follow us the whole way.

Happy 15th Birthday, Internet Explorer!
Posted on Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:01:00 GMT by Joe

I, like many people, have been plagued for years by Microsoft's little (immensely successful) attempt to dominate the browser market.  It's had it's security problems, compatibility problems, and legal problems but since it's introduction on August 24, 1995, it's been hard to ignore.  Happy Birthday IE.

Just noticed this, down the hall from my office. Darn kids and their vandalism.

The child in me is amused, though. :)

Linus Torvalds talking about Git at Google
Posted on Fri, 20 Aug 2010 06:14:00 GMT by Joe

So, I was doing a little research about Git yesterday and in doing so found a really good video of Linus Torvalds talking about it.  My number one take-away from this video was that Linus Torvalds is a megalomaniacal ass.

Some Linus gems:  

"You can disagree with me as much as you want but during this talk, anyone who disagrees with me is stupid and ugly."

"If you like using CVS, you should be in some mental institution somewhere else."

"I decided I could write something better than anything out there within two weeks and I was right."

He's an interesting guy and smart but it's hard to get beyond his attitude.

Interesting business week article on business incubators
Posted on Sun, 15 Aug 2010 16:59:00 GMT by Joe

I was browsing through Hacker News when I saw an interesting Business Week article on the value of business incubators in growing the number of jobs in the economy.  According to the article, "participants' survival rate after five years is 87 percent, compared with 44 percent for companies that didn't use incubators."  A quick look resulted in a longer list of incubators in the Milwaukee area than I would have expected.  I guess, if you're looking to start your own company, $100 per month for office facilities can't hurt.

Trying something new on the front page of steinbring.net!
Posted on Sun, 15 Aug 2010 07:07:00 GMT by Joe

I have a problem, where it comes to my website.  I think WAY too big.  I first decided that I wanted to write my own blogging software but it was proven over months that I don't have enough free time for that.  After coming to that conclusion, I started working on forking an open-source ColdFusion blogging engine to fit my needs, and I did get a long way toward that goal, but once again, I didn't have time for that.  That's why I decided today, while procrastinating more important things, to work on integrating an existing solution into the site to fill the need.

I decided, after fiddling around with it a little to use Posterous.  It seems to fit the need.  You can access the actual Posterous account at blog.steinbring.net but all of the content should also be magically copied (thanks to a little CF voodoo) to the front page of the site.

By the way, I promise to try now to post more frequently in this space.
