I think we have not reached the bottom until now. Worse luck! - Marcel Janus

how people/firms/investors respond in bad times is much more telling of their character than how they respond in good times. they're doing it because they think they can get away with it. that window will close. - Bryce Roberts

Look, things are really bad and getting worse. They will eventually get better as Patricia says, but it will be hard for very many people. No one is really insulated, but there's no point in panicking or worrying about what you can't fix. However, we all should try to understand WTF happened and learn from it. I just shared a speech today by Charlie McCreevy of the European Commission in my timeline that everyone should read. It's simple and clear. - IRWebReport.com

It's bad times...... - yanchao

If I may be honest, I'm sick of reading how bad economy is. Heck, what is the economy? Isn't it but the sum of single business and their relations? If a single business is in trouble, then likely because it isn't producing something useful, isn't able to sell it or doesn't have the funding and the stamina to survive the dip. Maybe on the big scale it isn't that different. Maybe we weren't producing the things that we needed. Maybe we didn't build good, strong relationships. Maybe we, as a society, have become crybabies and simple lack the stamina to push through this. - Dushan Wegner

The guy at dinner that Robert mentions was Jordi Soler (@jordisoler). He's really remarkable. He's running a family-owned business that trucks containers around Europe, and is totally plugged into the web tech scene, reading all sorts of blogs, signed up to lots of services, etc. And a really nice guy. - Terry Jones

My wife's handiwork here. I made one yesterday, and now we have to find out where that video is. - Louis Gray

Yeah. i noticed too. Super easy to do stuff now. Not the annoying tabs everywhere. Looks great. - Nathan Gilmer

I'm also really looking forward to the 2.7 release on WP.org. Ditto the concerns of Graham on upgrading though especially since the Podpress plugin already doesn't really support the current version. - Phill Ramey

I've been using 2.7 for a couple of weeks and haven't had any problems at all so far. - Matthew Bennett

.... It might be due to incorrect monitor calibration or something? It seems like the color space/profile of each image changes significantly upon completed import into Aperture. This has never been a problem when I used to shoot JPEG photos. Has anyone experienced anything like this? If so, what am I doing wrong? - Nick Humphries

Does the Adobe Labs/DNG profiles/ACR/whatever work with Aperture? Or do I have to somehow make a preset with all the correct settings? I don't even know where to start. - Nick Humphries

I'm pretty sure you have to make a preset or something like that. I don't think Aperture handles all the extra Adobe goodies. (Aperture WILL read DNG image files though - that's different from DNG profiles) - Brian Johns

Nothing says "I am stupid and have personal issues" like having most of your body tattooed. - Robert Miller

Just because some one has most of their body tattoed doesn't mean the person has problems. That's putting a streotype on a person, or trying to label the person because of how they look which our society does a lot unfortunately. I mean I could look at any one of you and make very incorrect judgements about what I see, how you act towards me. Even judging how rich or poor you based on how much stuff you do or don't have and the truth is I could be very very wrong. - Colide81 (James)

i agree with Collide. while this guy has a rap sheet and all, there's lots of people who are covered with tattoos and happen to be some of the nicest, smartest and worldliest people i've known. - Cee Bee

I'll be there from December 5th until December 7th. See more in my Dopplr profile. - Robert Scoble

Drew: mostly we're just here to visit with Maryam's brother, but I'm looking to meet up with geeks and on Sunday night we're doing a meetup, too. Email me scobleizer@gmail.com for details about that. - Robert Scoble

You should get the train down to Brighton - an hour south of London. It's the UK's equivalent of SF. Loads of small tech companies and a great geek community. - Jamie M

Underpaid? - Louis Gray

Quantity does not always equal quality - Jason Shultz via twhirl

Jason: here's the deal, though. I have 4,800 smart people reporting to me. I've hand picked them all. No stupid people allowed. And even there I've taken the best and put them in a separate list of only 200 people. I'm getting news that never makes it to Techmeme. - Robert Scoble
