Sony Opaque UI Help Request 
| | I have a Sony DCR-PC120 Camcorder/Camera. It has Bluetooth. My laptop has Bluetooth. My laptop sees the hardware ID of the camera. Now what? I double-click on it and: nothing. The Sony UI is hopeless. |
| | This should be simple. But... we're dealing with Sony here. Great hardware, horrible software. |
| | Wondering... is it possible that the Camcorder is as DRMmy as my Sony NetMD MiniDisk recorder? That mother has a USB connection that's nearly pointless, since itinsists on recording only in its own proprietary format and seems to have no useful way to get data on and off the damn thing. |
The unconnected life is not worth blogging
| | AKMA just walked by, pausing to share his unwillingness to attend a session without wi-fi. |
DIgitopia
| | Justin Taylor of Novell is up front now. He just talked about a "religious" disagreement between "centralized" and "federated" identity. Also that federation and metadirectory were somehow of a piece. Or of many pieces. I have no idea what he's talking about. Except for directory and metadirectory. But my understanding there hasn't been updated in five years. |
| | Very arcane, this identity shit, from the abstracto-techie world of folks who professionally care about this stuff. I'm glad they're doing it, I guess, but... |
| | It's also dull. I just heard service oriented business solutions coming from the stage. |
| | Translation: It's not about anything interesting. It's about delivering business value. |
| | Now I'm at an RFID session. Interesting stuff. |
| | Connectivity has been bad, on the whole, largely because one attendee has a rogue signal with the same identity as the conference network. This happens at almost every conference I attend.Has to be a better way. |
Giving sleep
| | Finally got in and settled in my hotel room. It's 4am. Makes me wonder what the opposite of "getting" sleep is. |
