Here's a very interesting rumor from MacOSrumors about Lucent/Apple wireless plans:
"Rumors are rapidly building regarding a new Lucent Technologies chipset that will not only shrink Apple's AirPort hardware and add 54Mbps (compared to today's 11Mbps) bandwidth support as previously reported, but would also support the popular Bluetooth wireless interface technology over standard and high-performance AirPort bands....allowing Apple to support Bluetooth without conflicting with its existing AirPort hardware or adding to the wholesale costs of its computers. If the rumors prove true and Apple does plan to be the first to market with this technology, it could be a major strategic advantage."AirPort (802.11b) and Bluetooth working together? That would be a very good thing.

And for my reference, here's the PHP/GTK+ project. Yes, that means PHP language bindings for GTK+ which will allow for building client side graphic user interfaces. Nice.

Here's a piece explaining how "printable" computers will work. Supposedly, credit card sized disposable cell phones are going to be the first widely distributed printed circuit product, and we might see them this summer. I'm not sure if disposable cell phones are really what we need, but it definitely is a cool technology.

Great time last night. Thanks to everyone. Hello Friday.

Probably, like everyone else, I've linked to this before. But here it is again. Neil Stephenson's (short for a book, long for the web) In the Beginning was the Command Line. It takes some time to get through, but Stephenson (Snow Crash, Diamond Age, Cryptonomicon, etc...) is a great writer, and really knows a lot about computers. This might well be the first text on the syllabus for some future college class on the Early History of Computing. So, in case you want to get a jump on the other kids, dig in now. I'll be over here on this $!@#%&' Linux box trying to get that %^&*!!@ wu-ftp to work by typing cryptic strings of characters into the command line. There's a lot to learn when you start from the beginning.
