Asymptomatic

I knew I wasn’t out of my mind when I conceived that aggregated blogs could illuminate trends.

I’m sorry that I didn’t take more time to investigate it, because it would certainly be a neat discovery, but it was annoying me and I couldn’t take it any more.

Every time I would open my email, I would get the BSoD. It turns out that there was some message in my work email account that was triggering a GPF (that IRQL_* error that appears all too often any more with XP SP2). The most interestng part is that it wasn’t happening only in Thunderbird.

Hate the Flash applet in Flickr’s photo displays? Lickr combines Flickr, Greasemonkey, and Ajax, and is worth triple points in buzzword bingo.

Exponent is what I would imagine/write/use for a CMS.

How to Make Money From BitTorrent

I was thinking about torrents in regard to the PSP. Assuming you were inclined and had the equipment and a capable internet connection, you could very easily stuff any TV show you wanted into a memory stick-sized package and watch it on the PSP at your leisure.

All you need is Videora and PSP Video 9, which will find the shows you want on the torrent sites, download them via torrent, transcode them for the PSP, and move them onto your memory stick. All you need to do is switch sticks in the morning, and you’ve got fresh video mobile every day.

The point of this PSP talk is that the technology is available for doing this today - right now. I imagine that you might even be able to do something like this with the ZVue, which is last year’s $99 tech. The TV and movie companies are falling behind technically because they’re not cashing in on this surge of interest.

Why is this a problem for us? What can they do to fix it?
