GonzRolling 
| | Chris Locke has upraged his blog, which is now current with the Gonzo Marketing publishing schedule, plus the continuing end of the old and the new economy. |
| | Not speaking of which, I'm off for a boat ride. See ya later. |
Wondering out loud
| | (What) I think is interesting is in the general category of ubiquitous computing. The specific thing is sort of a set of protocols, a framework for applications that are kind of accessible anywhere. |
| | Suppose that you have an editing session on your computer at work, and you're done here and you want to go home. The basic idea is that your home terminal will have the same session exactly, so there's been a sort of synchronization. It's actually a token that gets passed around to various clients, about who owns things at the moment. |
| | So the one challenge is just to get the synchronization across multiple users about the underlying state. The other is that all of this must be very adaptable to different display technologies. So, if you also want to do work on a PDA, then all of a sudden it gets a little more complicated. So that's the kind of thing I'm interested in right now. |
| | Isn't this also what people gathered around XML, XML-RPC, SOAP and Jabber (among other things) are trying to do right now? |
Stay detuned
| | So the house is full of guests and too much work for me to do before I drive to LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco on Monday in a car that's still in the shop. |
| | Ergo: I'm sorta outa here. |
