Several great posts from Luis. I mentioned it in passing a few posts ago, but I still think the “what is gnome?” on www.gnome.org could use a lot of work: “GNOME offers an easy to understand desktop for your Linux or UNIX computer.” I’d kill the words “desktop”, “easy”, “Linux/UNIX”, and “computer” for starters. What […]
Elijah, my wife and I just spent Tuesday night in Newark. On a round trip through Newark on Continental, we missed the connection both times due to a delayed first flight, spent an hour sitting on the runway twice on two different flights, and all four flights were delayed. It’s been a while since I […]
Some may have read our attempt to summarize and bibliography design thinking, for an alternate take Donald just found a great video from Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO. At Red Hat we’re using a “7 steps” way to explain things, Tim Brown one-ups that with 3 phases (inspiration, ideation, execution) and then he nests more […]
Good comments from Joe, inspiring me to ramble a bit in a loosely-related way… I haven’t really written my “personal thoughts” blog about Mugshot yet. First, let’s not overcomplicate things by thinking there’s more to “get” than there is… our goal was to get something out as quickly as we could that showed the kind […]
Luis, a couple quick fixes I can think of would be: add “swarm” notification to the group chat (see “Join Chat” on group pages), right now if you join there’s no way for other people to know there’s a conversation happening display AIM and other type of IM links on people’s /person pages, possibly also […]
Long time no blog! I’ve been pretty busy coding for the last few months. Just finished my Red Hat Summit keynote segment announcing our new project, Mugshot. Been working on this with Owen, Colin, and Bryan (all of GNOME fame) and a couple newcomers Marina Zhurakhinskaya and Mike Langlie. So much to talk about here […]
Some new openings at Red Hat for those who might be interested, Visual/Graphic Design, Software Engineer, Software Engineer. The software engineer descriptions have a lot of specifics but if you have even some of the specifics and are a damn good programmer we want to talk to you, don’t get hung up on details. You […]
I would like to add, that only weenies take over the aggregators by upgrading their WordPress. Real men just write absurdly long blog entries. (This post was originally found at http://log.ometer.com/2006–01.html#3)
I went out and bought the December issue of Harvard Business Review to check out the Christensen article I mentioned earlier; it’s really a good one. While it’s titled Marketing Malpractice, it applies equally to Engineering Malpractice and General Business Malpractice. It has a literal example of the tagline we’ve been using around the office […]
