BotchagalupeMarks for August 1st – 13:49
By John | August 2, 2009
These are my links for August 1st from 13:49 to 18:38:
- JS-Kit: Comments, ratings, polls and surveys, Navigator, chat and more… – We offer:
* Feature rich services backed by enterprise-class reliability and performance;
* "Cut and paste" deployment – no coding or other technical expertise required;
* Integrated RSS feeds for search engine visibility and data backup;
* Spam protection, moderation capability and other administrative controls;
* Knowledgeable and responsive support. - MVS/XA – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – New features:
* 31-bit addressing, thus, a 2 gigabyte addressable memory area, [1]
* legacy addressing mode for older 24-bit applications (i.e. those that utilized bits above 24 bit for other purposes) - Coming This September: Twitpocalypse Now Redux! – So what does it mean, and why is it happening? Well, for those that don’t remember, the first Twitpocalypse occurred when the unique identifier for tweets hit 2,147,483,647 — the 32-bit signed integer limit. That number caused some third-party apps to start counting tweet identifiers as negative, screwing them up. This new Twitpocalpyse is similar, only it’s for the 32-bit unsigned integer value of 4,294,967,295.
–> Everything that is old is new again. This happened back around 1984 when IBM when from MVS to MVS/XA…
- Will Skype’s Founders Put the Kibosh on eBay’s IPO Plans? – And yet eBay still licenses the peer-to-peer technology from the company’s founders. How could eBay spend billions on a company and not have control over the technology behind it?
- InfiBase Blog » Blog Archive » State of the Cloud – August 2009 – Last month we launched our series of reports on usage of cloud computing infrastructures. Today we’ll follow up to see what has changed in the month that passed. We’re also delighted to expand our coverage into additional providers, providing a wider perspective of the cloud’s adoption.
- In cloud computing, data is not electricity | The Wisdom of Clouds – CNET News – Nick Carr's classic vision of cloud computing, The Big Switch, spent a lot of time exploring the evolution of the electric utilities in the early part of the 20th century. That history is a powerful one, and one that shows the true value that can be derived from centralized generation and distribution of a critical commodity.
- Good Infrastructure Clouds are Actually SOSI [Buzzword Bingo]- The SiliconANGLE – I’m not a huge fan of the IaaS term. To me it wastes too many letters (aa adds what value, now?), and makes the phenomena of cloud computing infrastructure the little brother of SaaS. Never the less, you are likely to see it in the opening slide deck of any major cloud computing conference you might attend, as if it has been blessed by the mighty Gartner itself.
- Hoff-Frogs-Source.pdf (application/pdf Object) – The Best Freaking Cloud Presentation Ever.. Oh and security stuff too.
- Rational Survivability » The Frogs Who Desired a King: A Virtualization & Cloud Computing Fable [Slides] – I’m loathe to upload this presentation because really the slides accompany me (not the other way around) and there’s a ton of really important subtext and dialog that goes along with them, but I’m getting hammered with requests to release the deck, so here it is.
- Carnegie Mellon ‘Last Lecture’ prof’s 3D computer programming tool to be updated | Washington Examiner – Alice 3 — expected to debut next week, according to university officials — is designed to teach programming using a "drag and drop" interface to create 3D animations. The latest version, available free at http://www.alice.org, also lets advanced users create programs in the Java programming language.
