Ha. What a surprise.

A long hawked demo of Steorn’s perpetual motion machine that should have been demonstrated today at London’s Kinetica museum went belly up. Supposedly this is due to:

… some technical difficulties with the demo unit in London. Our initial assessment indicates that this is probably due to the intense heat from the camera lighting…

It’s like watching footages of airplane crashes on YouTube. You know it’s going to end up messy, but you just can’t look the other way.

I wonder what the excuse will be tomorrow.

Update: they have cameras rolling at the Kinetica Museum site now. They are still showing a perpetual stillness device though.

It seems to me that a gem from the past is becoming ubiquitous again. The technology I’m talking about is geolocation by the client’s IP address. Read on »

Yeah… Almost everyone is gone. So what am I still doing here? Here’s what.

Anyway, I’m reading up on the difference between EDA and SOA. It seems to me that EDA, so hawked in 2003 has mostly gone underground.

However, some companies are pushing new initiatives that seem to combine SOA, EDA and extensions to SOAP. Basically, they advocate that doing SOA with asynchronous messaging and subscriptions isn’t actually SOA, it’s EDA. Or so it seems to me. I’m studying up on the differences, similarities and areas of overlapping, and it seems that I’m not the only person writting about this.

I saw this while walking home from work today.

The city authorities are placing these no-dog signs in response to protests of outraged parents who despise dog owners that do not clean up after their pets. They are placed on lawns near schools and other areas frequented by kids.

Some enterprising dog owner had a spraycan deathmatch with one of he signs. Was he hoping that spraying the sign over somehow made canine biological byproducts more acceptable than before?

As if that makes the practice of not cleaning up after your dog any less illegal or just plainly less disguisting?

Like I mentioned a few days ago, I’m open sourcing some of my pet software projects. The first two are Schmoo and ForesightDB.
