Tuesday Tabs
Well, my first tabs post since the great crash. Sniff. Sniff.
· Sun Introduces MySQL Tech Support for Amazon EC2 - mysql.com
Certainly interesting, but kind of anticlimactic given the buildup from gigaom. Especially given that I recently wondered about MySQL support and stayed on hold for 45 minutes, twice, just trying to get to talk to someone to see about it. And I never spoke to anyone, just hung up.
· Twitter: IRC with a new shade of lipstick - WinExtra
It’s a very interesting point - I think, though, that fundamentally there are differences in the two - the lack of channels, for example and the not-necessarily two way connection between a follower of someone who hasn’t followed back. But Steven makes some interesting points about Twitter looking at IRC for some learnin’.
· Perl must decentralize, diversify and colonize - Perl Buzz
Some tips on what can be done to help defeat some of the perceptions that plague Perl.
· How Nokia Users Drive Innovation - BusinessWeek
In many ways the opposite of Apple’s innovation. I’m curious to see how well it works out.
· Sky Marshals on the No-Fly List - Schneier
On the sad state of our air security. I can say it no better than Bruce, “If this weren’t so sad, it would be funny.”
