Jamie’s Weblog

Stop it, just stop it. I post using w.bloggar via the Google API. Having to edit every post on the website to get it to publish is becoming annoying. update: it seems to be fixed (well, I guess this had something to do with it!)

The scale of things The crew of the ISS captured this picture of London from space [via MeFi]. What I find interesting is that looking at the picture (without knowing what it’s of) there is no way of knowing that over 3million people live and work there. In much the same way, most of us [...]

ev is back but unfortunately pro.blogger.com isn’t responding and posting via the API has been throwing publishing errors for the last few weeks. Hopefully, better service will resume soon along with all those cool new Pro feature which are implemented but still not available (good lord, give me titles via the API!)

Bowling for Soup Do you think that the late Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead is still is grateful that he is dead, or do you think he sold out? – Bowling for Soup

wireless middleware overview Giovanni Rimassa (one of the technical guys behind JADE and LEAP) has written an overview of the middleware technologies you might expect to find in wireless mobile systems in the future. There’s no real detail but what interests me are his last comments on the types of mobile applications: Serverless applications on [...]

So to all who asked… this is how fast a JStik is compared to other embedded Java boards. The JStamp still looks pretty good so I’m fairly confident about moving my agent platform from the JStik to the JStamp. The TINI’s look like a completely different story though. Thanks to Bruce Boyes for performing these [...]

sosume a few people have pointed out “DVD Jon” has a new weblog called So Sue Me. There’s a bar in Dublin called “sosume“… yeah, I guess that wasn’t too interesting…

oh god… I’ve just had a great prediction/dream of the future: BlogBoxes. Google already sells Google-in-a-box, what about turning Blogger into a product companies can buy, plug into their network and start hosting internal company blogs. Ah, go on… it’ll be great!
