Yoz Grahame's Unresolvable Discrepancy

I came here to apologise and eat biscuits, and I'm all out of biscuits

The Doc Docs

Posted: June 19th, 2002 Comments Off on The Doc Docs

I’ve
blogged
before.
I’ve never made it last.
But I have enough stuff thrown at me daily to make it worth trying again.

Hi. It’s hot in here, breast isn’t it?

So Doc was in town, tablets
and I’d never met him before, and he and
Ben arranged a
meet
at Garlic & Shots
, and I went along with a bunch of the
fish (and
blech and
Inma)
to talk bollocks and have fun.
(Pics.)

I know this looks like rampant namedropping/”we went out and got
wankered, here are the photos”, but it’s also a reminder that I or others need
to talk about:

  • Warchalking – MattJ’s idea for 802.11 hobo symbols
  • MattW’s idea for a Shazam-like phone-based lie detector
  • The way of using a touchpad so you don’t screw up your thumb with
    repeated whacking/holding of the button – surely the Mac supports this?
    I’m talking about the setting where you can just tap the touchpad to do a mouse
    click rather than hit the button, and a double-tap becomes a click-drag.
    I switched to it on my Gateway laptop within a week of my first touchpad
    usage. Why hasn’t Doc heard of it? The Mac does support this, right?
  • Jabber, and the killer app for it being XML message queues. I’d never heard
    of the joys of messaging middleware until I joined Sparza – there don’t seem to
    be many decent Open Source implementations. Oh, and the whole worse-is-better-ness
    of Jabber’s evolution.
  • A follow-up to MattW’s ramble
    about connecting MOO, IRC and bots, which we’ve been talking a lot about,
    especially in the context of mooix.
  • Oh, and MattW came out with the line, “My girlfriend refuses to believe that
    Nick Sweeney exists,” which is one of the greatest compliments I’ve ever heard.

Yeah. Something like that.
