A howtoforge.com article on installing mod_cband bandwidth limiting module for Apache 2. Great! I've been waiting for some bandwidth limiting module to step up (and for someone to write a nice clear installation article.)

This gets moved way up towards the top of the list.
Supposedly Nokia is releasing an S60 Symbian port of the Apache webserver, along with a gateway that will allow for the addressing of a mobile webserver with a regular web address (URI.) Wow. To me that's some sort of geek litmus test - if you really want to run a webserver on your phone you are a geek. Or at least a web geek. Sign me up. I want a Symbian phone so bad, but the new models take so long to reach the U.S. I will never understand the wireless carriers here. You couldn't move any more slowly if you tried.
I've written about Joi Ito before. He seems like a very interesting guy. It's sort of hard to figure out exactly what he does - I guess mostly because he does a lot of different things.

He puts people together with other people, and money together with projects, and just generally seems to make things happen.
Interestingly, I never knew about his Tim Leary connection, but here is a post of his on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of T.L.'s death, which explains just how important that relationship was.
