google hacks

Just read a scary blog entry about using google calendar for malicious purposes; even more malicious than hounding unfortunate workers into unwanted meetings :0 LOL Open calendars are a bad idea, it’s a bit like parking your car on a busy street and deliberately leaving the doors unlocked. You wouldn’t, would you?

Das Ring in 7 seconds

Some of you may have seen this before but I picked it up from the tube in the usual viral manner (“look at this” emails). It’s an aspiring Nurburgring racer who’s simply not very good at all, managing 7 seconds of lapping before spinning out of control.

Good luck Steve

As someone who still has a few shares in IONA and an interest in their future I was very disappointed to learn that Chief Engineer Steve Vinoksi has left. Steve is one of the true mavericks in distributed computing who’s contributed insight and direction to Web Service standardisation efforts and the OMG’s CORBA standardisation efforts prior to that. I wish him well with his new startup and I hope they’re wildly successful in the future.
