Congrats to Chris..

Well, apparently my friend Chris has left his job at TechTV for greener, lusher pastures. Chris is a kickass guy, and it sounds like he has Plans© for the future that will bring him all sorts of kickass opportunities. Nice to see someone so clueful in a rather clueless media environs.

Because someone had to say it

From the Sac Bee coverage of last night's A's romp comes my favorite quote of all time: After an uninspiring spring in which he started 3 for 23, Durazo hit the second pitch he saw into the left-center-field bleachers, staking Hudson to a 2-0 lead in the second.
In the fifth, he launched a two-out, bases-loaded blast toward the same spot.
Though this one was 10 feet shorter, it banged off the top of the fence, cleared the bases and ended Garcia's night.
" 'Mongo' was an animal tonight," Hudson gushed. "Let him out of his cage, and he goes crazy."

Lovin' me some sportswriters, ladies and gents.

Another cool use of Rendezvous

So, Ben pointed me to Hydra this morning, which is, for the record, one of the more interesting uses of the Rendezvous technology to date. Hydra allows mob-editing of documents over local networks that support Rendezvous. So suppose, instead of a cvs or something like that, you install Hydra. You can make one machine into the server and it will house all the documents, it then serves them over Rendezvous and allows multiple editors to work on the document simultaneously. You can color-code by individual, as well as set the document to encode the tags for various markup and programming languages, including C, C++, CSS, Java, HTML and XML, amongst others.
This, my friends, is kickass. Working on a position document with a few others in the meeting? Got laptops? Fire up Hydra and you can all edit right there. More bickering over wording, but quicker results, I would imagine.
And talk about a great way to handle company blogging!
