OS News
OS News image
When I look back at the blog items I post linking to interesting developer essays and articles, many of them are originally from osnews.com. OSNews is a frequently updated blog that posts lots of small items every day. While nominally about operating systems, they really cover a much broader domain including websites and technology companies. They do an outstanding job of bringing early attention to interesting technology essays that I don't see mentioned elsewhere.

Another alt.comp.freeware post on donationcoder.com, for your consideration

There's another controversial post about donationcoder.com on alt.comp.freeware newsgroup again. i've already replied to it in case you are curious:

Read the alt.comp.freeware thread..

> DonationCoder is just more up-front about encouraging you to donate, but
> still allows you to use the software for free if you really want to.
To say that "DonationCoder is just more up-front about encouraging you
to donate" qualifies as one of the top ten understatements of the year
that I've seen in ACF.

If you want to add your thoughts (and i welcome that), please remember to be courteous and considerate and respectfull and reasonable, etc., so readers know the spirit of this site and how we keep things friendly and respectfull.

Anyone know of some good voice mail software?

blog clipart
I am tired of standard answering machines and their ridiculous little button interfaces.  I want some software running on my computer to handle this with a modern interface that makes dealing with my messages much easier.

Ideally, it would be network aware where I can run it on my machine and have a client version on my wifes computer so she can check messages from her PC.  Should be caller id aware, but then that is a given now.

Internet accessible would be a big plus so you can easily check messages from a remote location.  Another great feature would be the ability to send emails on incoming calls from all callers or just specific callers (caller id of course).

Oh, and a huge plus would be the ability for it to display caller id info on the screen when a call comes in, and to do this in a non-intrusive manner.

So, anyone know any good voice mail software? :)

Corante: Many-2-Many - A Group Weblog on Social Software

Screenshot - 11_26_2006 , 2_10_09 AM_thumb.png
You won't really need coffee as the author suggests, the discussion is fairly interesting

I want to offer a less telegraphic account of the relationship between expertise, credentials, and authority than I did in Larry Sanger, Citizendium, and the Problem of Expertise, and then say why I think the cost of coordination in the age of social software favors Wikipedia over Citizendium, and over traditionally authoritative efforts such as Britannica.

Make a pot of coffee; this is going to be long, and boring.

Those of us who write about Wikipedia, both pro and con, often mix two different views: descriptive — Wikipedia is/is not succeeding — and judgmental — Wikipedia is/is not good. (For the record, my view is that Wikipedia is a success, and that society is better off with Wikipedia than it would be without it.) What I love about the Citizendium proposal is that, by proposing a fusion of collaborative construction and expert authority, it presses people who dislike or mistrust Wikipedia to say whether they think that the wiki form of communal production can be improved, or is per se bad...
