Mozilla rising.
“…but Potter and Boswell say Mozilla’s development model has one quality that makes them optimistic about the system — it’s easy. “This is much better than Java,” Potter said. “What I think is going to happen is that all these people who’ve been making Web sites for all this time are going to get […]
I have a goatee; I have an electric razor; electric razor setting was changed in travel bag inside of suitcase; i was tired this morning; i no longer have a goatee.
Sun Ready to Push Linux as Alternative to Microsoft. [New York Times, free login required] -
“Yet Sun executives said they believed that Microsoft was vulnerable in cost-sensitive markets like large corporate call centers, which provide things like customer service; retail banking organizations; and government and educational institutions. “The industry is ready,” said Jonathan Schwartz, executive […]
[12:46 Sandefjord, Norway - Again] - Another amazing fall day here.
This to That. Instructions on how to glue items together.
[16:45 Sandefjord, Norway] - Had an amazing day driving to the south of Norway for some meetings. I often complain about travelling but I don’t think I really mean it. I have these amazing opportunities to explore the world and it is one of the great gifts this company has given to me. The best […]
Tales of the Tyrant. This helped me a few months ago to arrive at some of my current reasoning when it comes to Iraq.
“On July 18, 1979, he invited all the members of the Revolutionary Command Council and hundreds of other party leaders to a conference hall in Baghdad. He had a video camera running […]
Don’t Rebuild. Reimagine. [New York Times, free login required]
“The project does not set forth a comprehensive plan. Rather, it presents an integrated set of options for the future of New York, a widening of possibilities beyond the shopworn, consumerist notions of ‘’cultural programming’’ that have been proposed for ground zero: an opera house, for […]
09:40 [Oslo, Norway] - Another great day here weather wise. We’re off to Lillehammer (all I can think of is Dave Letterman’s mom covering the 94 olympics there). I have tons of work to do but gotta rest sometime.
19:00 [Heathrow, London] - Well I’m at Heathrow waiting for my flight to Oslo. London had great sunny yet cool weather and the last two days have been excellent. The jet lag is catching up. It was pretty interesting to watch Sept. 11 remembered outside of North America - more on that later. Business wise […]
02:16 [Oakville, Ontario] - Maybe high speed in the hotel isn’t such a good thing…I’ll be sleeping on the plane tomorrow.
Ray Ozzie’s Weblog.
“We need to prepare for, and to embrace a whole new generation of system and application software that leverages our computers and networks specifically and tangibly to increase our interpersonal productivity and agility. To enable us to spin more plates; or to keep them up in the air in a more measured […]
Thanks Holiday Inn Oakville…I’ve stayed here many times, but a month ago they put in ‘free’ high speed. Once a nerd, always a nerd.
Most think U.S. partly to blame for Sept.11. I was reading the Globe and Mail today, this article reminded me of a posting I saw on Martin’s site the other day. He quotes Jane Galt who I think captures the opposite sentiment…and maybe mine (although I’m still thinking about it) very well:
“55% of Europeans think […]
Lightweight Internet Applications. The browser is definitely not nearing it’s end, but the second generation of the internet will see tools that leverage collaboration and data management better than the document centric browser (groove is the right direction, but way too fat). This is clearly a challenge for our company as we develop more data […]
warchalking. I’m going to try a bit of warchalking on my travels next week, London wi-fi has to be cheaper than the hotel dial up.
Well its the end of a crazy, chaotic, productive, happy and sad week. Our meetings went very well and we’re all set up to go to full scale work on our largest project to date. We also landed another major customer this week, this one has a lot of interesting implications for improved port management […]
Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero. The film’s last words belong to Monsignor Albacete:
“This gesture, this holding of hands in the midst of that horror, it embodies what Sept. 11 was all about. The image confronts us with the need to make a judgment, a choice. Does it show the ultimate hopelessness of human attempts […]

Gary was born a welcome and second son to Shirley and Jack in Montreal, Canada January 31st, 1955. The family moved to Vancouver in 1966 and spent many years in Langley where Gary?s […]
The last few days have been very busy, we’re working with one of our customers on a joint planning meeting. It’s a great team of people but there are so many procedures and processes to identify. What’s remarkable is that beyond the core functionality of the system, is that there is a general consensus that […]
