I just want to
Celebrate. . . My 50th podcast!
I started podcasting October 2nd, 2004 and this marks my 50th podcast.
I've had a few comments about how fast the words flow by on the Manic Minute.
Remember everybawdy, www.manicminute.net
always has a the full-text version available!
Outsourcing…outsourcing?!?
Pacific News Service reports that some Indian programmers are now too expensive
for Indian outsourcing firms and so the Indian firms are outsourcing their jobs.
. . To China! I personally find the whole thing so frustrating since it ignores
the issue that software development really should be done by people who are
talented at it not just people who want to make a buck and that's often not the
same people!
Commodore. .
.the brand that just won't die!
As one of the original third-party developers for the Commodore Amiga and the
author of MaxiPlan, UltraCard and author of the CD+G Player inside the CDTV
set-top-box, we always used to have a saying, "Never use the word Commodore and
Marketing in the same sentence". Now the Commodore brand has been sold and they
think they're going to use it to market video games
Ah the old days. . . I was there at Lincoln Center in New York City in 1985 at
that weird launch event where Andy Warhol painted Debbie Harry (the girl from
the band Blondie)'s picture and we all cheered the "bouncing ball" demo
