Peter Drucker, widely considered the father of modern management theory died at the age of 95 on Nov 11th. Here is link about his life and work. \ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Drucker Rest in peace. \

Amazon Mechanical Turk seems a kindof thing that Web 2.0 will, probably, be all about. I admit - I did not get the full essence of the idea. Still seems vague to me. Maybe it\’s ok - the product is beta, or maybe it\’s because I had a really long day and it\’s 11:40pm. Whichever...

I have seen too many people, on too many occasions confusing what GPL is about. Most common error is to think that one can not use a GPLed product with a commercial application. More sophisticated version of the confusion is some mumbling that involves the word “derivative” :-) I think the root cause of the...

BusinessWire reports that ActiveState shipped Komodo 3.5 probably the best IDE for scripting languages and a multi-platform one, in addition. I was writing about Komodo in one of my recent blogs. ActiveState has decided to include the quote in their press-release on BusinessWire. I am glad to see it and wholeheartedly wish them the best...

Paul Gorman has written a small tool ( NanoCount) that I found very nifty. It\’s as simple as it gets: shows a running word count. It also lets you set a goal for number of words,

Recently, I stumbled upon http://www.shiftone.org/ They have got some REAL nice toys in their toolbox, I must say. I was impressed. Actually, except ExQ I quite loved all of them. I don\‘t see the value of ExQ since I am a big believer in Hibernate but if you are still in the age of raw SQL...

Yesterday was so overwhelming - forgot to make a note. So, anyways, today is the second day. Learning from the bitter experience of yesterday, I left home at 6:20am, today. When I got here, it was still dark *chuckle* but traffic was way better. P.S. SmartTag rulz.

Flock a next generation browser? Have not had time to look too much into it, yet. So far, it seems they are a little bit far from the promise :)

Oracle has acquired InnoDB which will have some impact on MySQL as InnoDB engine is a more preferred engine (a opposed to relatively unreliable MyISAM) supported in MySQL. What will be the impact, we will know only in a year, according to the press release from Oracle, but Oracle supporting engine to make its direct...

Do it, now! :-)

Here it goes again - the infamous Cross-Site Scripting but in Web 2.0 and social networks context, this time.

It seems like Verisign is looking into some very interesting new business opportunities. Considering Verisign is a large corporation (which tend to be inert) it\’s interesting to see that it is so up to the beat of “web 2.0” I have some personal reasons, too, to be excited seeing Verisign doing so well… :-)

This is official - I love Python. I think it is a beautifully designed language that is a pleasure to program in.

I played around with Komodo today, and I must say - I am impressed!. I imported one of my PHP projects in it and messed with it. I was very, very delighted with the capabilities of Komodo. I am a Mac addict and on Macs I have tried Zend studio. It was the best I...

SugarCRM is a professional-grade, open-source CRM solution. Looks real good.
