Lots of posts circling above Heathrow, none of which I’m going to have time to write, so: a linkdump. Bah. Wish I wasn’t so busy.
On Call Bald does a short series on VoIP: Part 1Part 2Part 3. He and I had a play with SIP last night; the UI for all SIP clients is shite. I’d like to fix it; I thought about hacking on Shtoom but I can’t even get that to do a call. KPhone was successful, but I’m a much better Python hacker, hence Shtoom. Maybe when it can connect properly I’ll start hacking on it.
Hixie bitches about Ajax and other names like “DHTML“, when you could just say “HTML + script“. I think he’s wrong, partially for marketing reasons which Angry Matt is better at explaining than I, and partially because “Ajax” doesn’t just mean the technologies, but also the mental structure and approach. But this argument has played out all over the place already.
Jonathan Riddell’s KDE4 wishlist. I’ve said before (on LugRadio) that I think that Jonathan seems to see the same issues with KDE that I do, and he’s trying to fix them. That’s really good.
