Links Creep In ·
Roger Sperberg first noticed it, and I don’t know how long it’s been going on; but check out this column by Maureen Dowd in the New York Times. Ordinary enough, but scroll down and look closer: it has a couple of hyperlinks. One is to another NYT story, but another’s to a piece over at the Washington Post. I wonder who put them in, Ms Dowd or the editorial staff? I wonder if there’s a policy for what can be linked to and what must be linked to? I wonder if the links are stable or will vanish behind a paywall?
Read Governor ·
James Governor that is, whose space online has been consistently strong. He’s a must-read for Sun people because he frequently holds forth on what we should and shouldn’t be doing, but I think anyone interested in our profession would find a subscription worth the investment of time. Just at the moment on the front page are strong pieces on Rexx, Linux safety, and visualizing Amazon Web Services.
Go Dan Go ·
That Dan Gillmor, he’s gone indie and so far it’s been good for him; swinging mightily with the truthstick, on successive days he’s scored stinging blows on two guys named Jobs and Gates. Sample sentence: The purity of this lie is remarkable. Yep, looks like ongoing can happily outsource its castigating-personal-computer-company-CEO operations to Mr. Gillmor.
I work at Sun Microsystems.
The opinions expressed here are my own,
and neither Sun nor any other party necessarily
agrees with them.
