Back on the East Coast

Watching Syracuse BBall


As I get my internal clock back on east coast time, I thought I would share a couple of noteworthy news stories today.  First is the announcement from IBM that Lotus Sametime will interop with Yahoo, Google and AIM.  Sametime and AOL have had a relationship in the past, but this expands upon previous Sametime iterations.

The second story  really caught my attention.  A person on Ebay was selling their IPod preloaded with 11,000+ songs.  Depending upon who you believe, either Ebay pulled the auction or the man selling ended the auction when the controversy ensued.  Basically the argument is that selling an IPod preloaded with songs purchased on iTunes or anyother source is a Replica/Counterfeit violation.  But this situation made me wonder if selling an iPod preloaded is any different then selling some CD I purchase at a record store?  Makes you wonder...if there are any opinions on this I would love to hear them.

I went to the San Jose Stealth indoor lacrosse game on Saturday night.  Here is a picture of me at the game.



One last note, I will be doing a mailbag tomorrow and here are some of the items that will be addressed....
    - Latest Triton performance and memory
    - Direct Connect update
    - Custom Buddy Icon support in Triton

If there are others please let me know.

    wtf?  There's all these bugs in AIM and you're taking trips?  The only trip you should go on is to your desk where -- with luck -- you'll start writing some code that actually works.  Or better yet, take a trip to India...you can meet up with your job.  It should be arriving there soon.  Unless you fix that Triton mess, guys named Sanji and Prekesh will be writing AIM blogs.

    Can you let us know the adoption rate for triton?  From my experience it seems like people are downloading it then going back to a previous version.
