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!
