48 hours in Melbourne: AURemix07

Monday, May 7th, 2007

The Crown Prom­en­ade is a good hotel. Above is a view of my hotel room late last week. You are a walk away from los­ing your cash play­ing poker in the casino; a little fur­ther away from South­bank eat­er­ies.  Oh, and Mel­bourne does the best cof­fee out­side Venice, in my book.
Now ima­gine never see­ing out­side, and […]

DLR Presentation">John Lam and Jim Hugunin: DLR Presentation

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Microsoft’s John Lam and Jim Hugunin go large with the DLR at MIX07. Here are my notes whilst listen­ing and watch­ing the present­a­tion:
What to expect: a Mac, Text­Mate, Javas­cript, Python, Ruby, Safari and Sil­ver­light.  Text­Mate equals text edit­ing. Sil­ver­light is not bin­ary, its just XML and text. You can break it apart and look at the […]

By the light of Dynamic Silverlight

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Keep­ing secrets is tough. Hear­ing about the Dynamic Lan­guage Runtime (DLR) from John Lam in Feb­ru­ary this year was one of those secrets that kept well.
John Udell inter­viewed John Lam, and has a back­grounder here. Some in the Ruby com­munity didn’t see this com­ing.
Jim Hugunin has a post­ing on the new DLR, open source nature of […]

Doing more than Dumb Video

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Dumb Video is hard. You spend all your time edit­ing, fix­ing audio, encod­ing and upload­ing.
Smart Video is going to be easy with this Microsoft Sil­ver­light stuff. URLs, chapters, and deeper sub-tagging. All these ideas are flow­ing through my mind from this con­ver­sa­tion from Uncle Dave, the Life Kludger.
Ima­gine a can­vas of videos and pod­casts. Zoom […]

Las Vegas is booked out. So ReMIX in Australia

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Are you are los­ing sleep because:

Elvis left the build­ing some 30 years ago in August 1977?
Myf War­hust thinks Elvis serves fish and chips some­where in Bendigo, Vic­toria?
Las Vegas MIX07 has been com­pletely booked out?

Don’t lose another minute of sleep!
The MIX exper­i­ence is being trans­por­ted and ReMIX’d at the Crown Prom­en­ade on 25-26th June 2007.
Remix Aus­tralia will be the first of its kind […]
