I've moved to sdf, a very cool public access unix system. The new url is http://edoneel.chaosnet.org

I used to think I'd find web services interesting, but, you know, after quite a few months I find that outside of work I just can't get excited. Ergo, we will not focus on web services anymore. Maybe Economics? I sure do spend a lot of time reading about that. OTOH, 3D graphics has always really interested me...

Grids

The use of Linda in Grid computing. If you're not familiar with Linda, its a programming model (i.e. it can be added to existing languages) that does interprocess communication using a free-form tuple space. Tuple spaces offer an alternative to message-oriented service oriented architectures like Web-services.

Siggraph

I've always wanted to go, but, it's just a shade too expensive to fly 7000km and fund it all myself. So, I make do with reading the papers, watching the videos, etc. This year, big bonus, there are some blogs covering it.

First up, the "offical" one

Next up is Jbuhler's blog
