[Besides Extreme Learning, what other applications can you think of for the concepts behind XP?]

Radio Community Server: Download. "Important pages: Pricing, FAQ" [I told you this would be a great announcement. I've used Frontier/Manila in a couple of businesses as way of collecting information (k-logs). Now you set up individuals with copies of Radio, you set up an RCS, and you'll have a company wide k-log in no time. On the other side, it's no harder to set this up for a family just using Radio. The RCS has remarkable breadth of scale.]

[And there's more coming...]

[A new version of Archipelago with support for the new MetaWeblog API has been released to testers. This version should also support the Blogger API in Conversant though it has not been tested as yet. (I'm going to do that shortly). Update: This won't work. I'll have to speak to the Conversant guys to get this straight.] *

Stroh Feedback on Sirius Petition. "I feel that Sirius could well have an uphill battle on its hands with its petition. I don't think that Sirius quite appreciates the enormity of the entire 2.4 GHz market that its petition will affect- basically ANYTHING that transmits on 2.4 GHz. The response to this petition will likely be enormous, and well-crafted." [Good.]

Steve Stroh - A Potential Extinction Level Event For Communications Users Of The 2.4 GHz Band. "The group likely to be most severely impacted by Fusion Lighting devices are Internet Service Providers that are using wireless equipment to connect to their customers. The vast majority of Wireless ISPs (WISPs) use equipment that operates in the 2.4 GHz band. Some equipment is purpose-built for ISP use, and many others use modified Wireless Local Area Network (Wireless LAN) equipment. What all WISPs have in common is that their signals are relatively fragile. The FCC's Part 15 rules apply equally to equipment used by Wireless ISPs, so the ISPs compensate for low transmitted power with high-gain, directional antennas. This approach allows them to have enough signal margin to achieve a reliable link but if a source of interference appears nearby, the link will likely be disrupted. " [Bad.]

The Shifted Librarian Quoting Fast Company. "What distinguishes bloggers in general is that they fit the new architecture. They link to anything and everything that they consider worth reading. A good story in the New York Times? Just click, and you're there. A good article in some godforsaken journal? Click, and you're there." [A blog is refered to how? "godforsaken". Why? (I know it isn't a direct reference, but still. And how about the poorly disguised plug for blogspot where he keeps his own blog? How about mentioning some of the other folks who offer a place to blog?]

Design specifications: How much detail is enough?. "Writing a design specification is more of an art, something to be learned, more than something that can be taught, said Todd Tincher" [Oy.]
