much sleep – lot’s to do tomorrow

Bullet list time for events of the day….

  • I got my RC1 code! Yup. The full
    Windows XP
    release. This is a good thing and could not happen at a better time. I had a
    small bug with the beta I was running – and it seems that RC1 should fix it. I
    will take a little time tomorrow to upgrade and I should be off and running.
    That bug was going to cost me time over the next 7 days – so getting the fix
    is a great stroke of luck.
  • If you look

    here
    you will find

    full details
    on the Windows XP activation system, otherwise known as WMA.
    Very interesting reading even for the non-technical. Obviously, there is much

    Slashdot discussion
    .
  • Lots of trouble for
    Napster
    . It seems that their user base fell of a lot after you couldn’t
    get pirated music on it. Funny, didn’t Napster swear this was not why they
    existed? Anyway, all the details are

    here
    .
  • I like

    this
    image.
  • Metafilter
    discussion of
    Webvan. There is a
    link to

    the story
    , and a

    thread
    . It looks like Webvan blew 1 Billion in
    funding.

By the way, I am getting some tremendously positive responses to our
presentation. Hopefully I won’t let you all down and I can’t tell you how much
your support means to me.

OK – I am off to sleep. Night!
