For some reason, my post about the OPML coffee cup has been replaced by the post that I wanted to go after it, and the comments that were made about the OPML cup are now on the later post. Weird.
At any rate, if you subscribe to my instant outline, you'll get to see what I'm thinking about with regards to the Python IDE and any other projects I'm working on. |

Compare this estimate of personal storage space to this page of examples of what can be stored. Note: we are currently at year zero on the storage estimate. A standard Dell machine now sold has 120 Gb of personal storage or 0.120 Tb of storage. We will pass the ability to store all the printed materials of the Library of Congress in 2008. If we had copyright term reform, we could see a world where people carry around the Library of Congress -- legally -- on their laptop. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
That would be cooool. |

The memories come flooding back when I read this. Especially the bit when they talk about the contents of the Apple II ROM. 3:05:10 PM  comments () trackback []

Russ Lipton hands me some high praise and provides a nice launching point for something I've been thinking about. What do people want in a Radio-base Python IDE? I have some ideas, and I'll enumerate them later (when I'm not stealing time from the paying work). I feel most excited about the tools I'm working on when I'm in a tight feedback loop and producing useful code. So right here, right now, I'll make a promise. Talk to me, and I'll listen. Propose a feature, and I'll work with you to make it happen. If I can't make it happen, I'll work with you to produce a different solution to the problem. Dave has a tagline that he uses a lot. I thought I understood what it meant before, but writing that previous paragraph made me realize a deeper meaning of the phrase... Let's Have fun!
I'll rephrase that... Let's work together. Let's build something
amazing. Let's have fun! |

Eisner's op-ed reminds me an awful lot of Bill Gates' letter to hobbyists. Except there's one crucial difference -- Gates was trying to get a business off the ground, and Eisner is trying to protect an established empire.
History keeps repeating itself. We've been able to make exact copies of
software for a very long time, and yet the business survives. Why
should the entertainment industry be any different? |
