What About Bob?
I am a Mad Scientist for Ericsson. My team creates prototypes to evaluate technology for future products.
Meme FIFO
- August 2010 - visualizing DVD layout
- July 2008 - I don't know who Wilberg Breader is, and I
have even less clue why my picture is being associated with that name.
- March 2005 - Attention Bond
Mechanism appears to be dead. It's a shame; if it weren't for the
need to implement micropayments, I think it would have ruled. SMTP
continues its spiral into irrelevance.
- March 2005 - I installed Linux on a
ZV5000. I'm not sure I'd choose this laptop if I had it to do
over again. Whoever integrated the touchpad should get a kick in the
nuts.
- DooM 3
- May 2004 - In 1969 Fred Hampton was assassinated by the Chicago police.
- April 2004 - Software with a good user interface is hard to
make. A good user interface shrinks the secondary market for
consulting services. Free software that is easy to use won't feed any
of its contributors.
