I am forever linked with and to my Treo 700p.  It’s by far the best phone I’ve ever had.  It’s Verizon, so it has never failed me service-wise.

One of the fun events I’m involved in is Software Freedom Day Wellington , as part of the wider SFD effort. We’re planning a really fun day, with a whole bunch of things going on, as Brett’s excellent poster suggests – Barcamp At a barcamp attendees govern the agenda. We provide rooms and a flipchart and a schedule of times – the attendees decide on the discussions to be held around a variety of topics (from Education to Government, Communities to Business) that interest them at the start of the day.

I got an email from an enterprise architect considering Adobe Flex as a platform for Web application development in their organization. This email contained a long list of questions/remarks/concerns that many of enterprise Web architects may face.  That’s why I decided to publish my short answers to these questions. I didn’t change even one word in a way the questions/ statements were made. Language: ActionScript3 is a weakly typed language This is true, and when I started using it I was also getting angry with Flex compiler that wouldn’t catch my obvious mistake.

i was just thinking the other day the things that using free and open source software (foss) affords me. i decided to list them down: no viruses . windows viruses cannot run on linux systems. so i don’t have to worry much if my workstation will get infected with conficker or any other ficker for that matter. i actually tried running a windows virus in my system.  my usb stick got infected by something from a shop where i had a document printed off the stick.
