  Tangler for commenting

  You'll notice I'm starting to test embedding Tangler discussion with blog posts. Which sort of raises the question about the ultimate intention of Tangler and its fit with blogging.

  iPhone WTFs?

  Two I've seen so far...

  1. No clipboard! You can't copy or paste text.

  2. No text selection.

  Umm... WTF!

  I bought an iphone

  But it wont let me post from safari (we need to fix that)

  Other than that, it's hands down the best device I've ever used. Mind blowing.

  Will Ebooks Kill Publishing

  

  Getting an ebook reader has really opened my eyes to the potential for the publishing industry to face similar problems to the music industry.

  Whilst books are not the same as music (MP3 files are effectively equivalent to any other form of music - where as books have strong form), there is still a huge value gap between downloading thousands of books and reading them with an e-book device, than purchasing each book individually. And yes, I mean downloading them for free because that's the inevitable result of book digitization.

  This isn't necessarily a zero-sum game, but you can see how a large portion of the book market will be impacted.

  So should the book industry look to the music industry as a warning sign and change? Or are they confident enough to just keep watching from a distance.

  Let's say they did want to change. How would book publishing look in a purely digital world?

  .Net - Yuck

  I was using a little too much RAM (slow compile times) and started to explore a little bit on what processes were doing what.

  Interestingly I found that outlook was chewing 200MB+ of ram. Ouch. The culprit? Xobni and the fact they coded it in a VM - ie. .Net.

  Hard to spot since the process was effectively masked by Outlook.

  I don't really have a point. Other than a general dislike for memory wasting virtual machines on clients.
