Drivel: I have been learning a lot about niche publishing companies over the past couple of weeks as a result of my new project. Starting a couple of years ago they started seeing double-digit customer conversion to their Internet based products, which continue to be horribly under-developed. These businesses are scared of technology and have very little money to invest in it due to very low profit margins. It is a very scary time for specialty publishers as the Internet consumes their core business. Companies that have been around for over 100 years may suddenly disappear. 11:07:26 PM comments ()
Drivel: I am heading to LinuxWorld tomorrow in New York to comb the exhibit floor. I will report back with any goodies I find. One goodie I wish I were going to see is a UserLand booth featuring Radio on Linux. Who wants Radio on Linux?? Me!! Me!! Me!! 10:56:49 PM comments ()
Drivel: Today was quite the day for Microsoft security releases. They released two Windows patches, one Outlook 2002 patch, and a patch for Content Management Server. This is the most patches released in a single day by Microsoft that I can remember. 10:51:31 PM comments ()
