Technical things that I never got around to
As noted below, O’Reilly’s conferences are indeed cool. Too bad OSCON Europe in Amsterdam is really really expensive (or am I just being cheap at 825 euros).
Never played around much with Scalable Vector Graphics - the early SVG-enabled mozillas were not paragons of stability, and Adobe’s implementation didn’t fare much better. The technology seems to have come of age, and future looks interesting.
TheFeature seems to have gone bust during the summer. One of the heralds of the bubble, it survived surprisingly long. Archives are available. Never was a big fan, don’t intend to leap in and scrounge for treasure.
MMORPGs are obviously big these days. Never tried one, so am not dissing them outright. Their existence and continuously up-ramping user numbers mean that a lot of changes in the games industry are bound to happen.
Another conference with interesting proceedings is the Linux Audio Conference. The realtime stuff is understandable, the acoustic less so.
And speaking of conferences, I’m horribly behind my original plan of providing a decent travel report from OLS2005. One day (soon) the rest of the event will be covered, till then the entries will stay fallow.
