"@scobleizer wow and I was thinking about buying a Droid this last Friday. With my choices in this area is between a HTC with Windows Mobile 6.5 and the Droid - which would be better? iPhone does not seem to be an option here as it is not available"
- Kevin Tunis
@scobleizer I wonder if the Windows 7 team #win7 would post how they did it. I like the features such as speeding up and slowing down the feed. Also the fact it more then just a Twitter display you can select which social network site you want to look at.
- Kevin Tunis
I like the anonymizer they have on it =P 'from Twitter User'... They know which user it is!
- Travis Koger
Would be very nice to see how they did it.

Welcome Baby Ryan!!! My baby Ryan (17 years!) and I are honored to welcome another superstar to our planet! Love, hugs, and lots of kisses to Baby Ryan, Mommy Maryam, Dad Robert and big brothers Milan & Patrick and of course Grandma!!! My guess on Ryan's arrival (predication) was only 23 hours off. I thought he would arrive on Friday, Sept. 18th at 11:45 pm. Love to all, Kelly & Ryan Kim
- Kelly S. Kim
What a moment, eh? I remember when my daughter came into this world, it was so exciting there were no words for it. Congrats on your wonderful baby boy!
- Michael J. Carrasquillo
Congratulations! Welcome to the world, Ryan. :-)
- Yvette Ferry
Congratulations Robert and Maryam! And welcome Ryan. If I was having a baby today, I'd begin a blog for him/her straight away as an online diary they could look back on when grown up.

I was a c-section six week preemie in an era when that was seriously life-threatening, they didn't know if I would make for the first week. It always gets me a see a c-section / preemie come howling into the world. Welcome, little guy!

Congrats! I wish a long and healthy life.

Robert, you newest addition is too freaking adorable. I hope you and Maryam are doing well. Congratulations! Here's to a long, prosperous future!

@intensedebate when posting on a blog on the same post. How come the comments do not come back to the post on Friendfeed? This does not carry a conversation very good. Here is the first comment http://friendfeed.com/kevintu... and here is the second comment...
"Joe, I have been using Disqus on my personal blog. I was impressed with how fast IntenseDebate went to Friendfeed when I posted my last comment here. The only thing I am not sure about is why it did not bring your comment over to the conversation http://www.mojoportal.com/some-co...... Personally I would like a little more real-time, JS-Kit’s Echo is good as what I have seen on Building 43. For right now we will probably use IntenseDebate for the comments."
- Kevin Tunis
"When can we expect the build with Disqus - I would like to integrate it into our blog. Also if we are add to widgets from Disqus to the column in the blog it looks like this might not be easy. So one way that I noticed is in the “content for page” we can add the blog to the center and html to the left or the right with one of the widgets code in it. Therefore creating a three column blog – the blog module with its single column to the right and the Disqus “Recent Comments”, “Popular Threads” or “Top Commenter’s” in the side column."

@ejsmith it doesn't seem like its been that long ago that CodeSmith was started - congratulations and thanks for building some great tools for developers

This means an application running in the clouds could get very expensive - what would happen if that application was synced with a on-premise server

@netsolcares says they are working "working w/affected merchants and issue has been fixed" http://twitter.com/netsolc... - very quick response on twitter from Network Solutions

"What we do IS crafmanship." hard to agree, I can see the logic behind it, yes. But it could be both, I mean engineering is kind of a craftmanship?
- Özgür D. Cyric
contentious point on the surface that probably devolves to a semantic argument. i think the bottom line is that the paper's author, Tom DeMarco, is just mellowing out a bit in his old age. :-D you start off at one end of the spectrum (engineering Nazi) and you're bound to eventually realize hey sometimes you can just wing it. look at Twitter -- more hacked together than engineered, not especially reliable, but it has played an important role.
- Karim
Control is needed not for completion, unlike other disciplines, but for sustaining Software. Maintaining Semantic Hygiene is the Hardest task there is in Software Engineering Management. http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Vasu Srinivasan
This is anathema to the entire software outsourcing industry that has grown on the premise that s/w development can be predictably controlled.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Leaving aside the sensational title, I think Jeff's point is that certain traditional practices like waterfall, software-as-a-manufacturing-process, discrete estimation, etc. never really accurately depicted the practice of building software. Jeff makes some good points, but I'm not sure that *craftsmanship* is the last word on this topic.
- Matthew Trunnell
It will be engineering again when computers stop getting faster every year. Would you really spend a lot of time engineering the mpg of a car if you knew that gasoline was going to be 2x as effective every 18 months?
- Sam Pullara
I think, s/w craftmanship is evolving to s/w engineering. IDE's are getting better, ALM tools and models are getting better. We have better tools, better models and new ideas to build s/w... Unlike any other engineering dicipline, s/w engineering is highly depend on intellectual property while developing s/w product.
- Ersan Bilik
It's impressive to see Tom DeMarco, a key figure in Software Engineering, acknowledge that for some software projects controlling what can be measured should not be management's goal, it would be the same as raising a teenager by focusing on 'objective' grades. This is not the same as saying software development is a craft and not engineering.

Robert - deja vu, but I thought this was available a month or so ago??? Here's mine: http://www.google.com/reader... - NOW, can we pls discuss Google's unfriendly Friend Connect. It is a bear to install, except on Blogger, as you have mentioned in the past.
- Liza
Isn't anyone else concerned that this gives away your gmail account address? That is, if your custom reader url is http://www.google.com/reader..., then your gmail address is necessarily someperson@gmail.com. That's why I didn't enable this in Google Profile before. Even though Google's spam filter if super, I'm not wanting to attract more spam. Am I being overly cautious here?

"Here's a little trick that will add a Hulu icon to Windows Vista Media Center that makes it easy to launch Hulu Desktop. When you close the application, you'll also be returned to Windows Media Center."

@LANjackal I have Hulu showing in Windows Media Center on my computer but not on my TV - ideas

None. Haven't tried this myself, actually

Finely, @daveburkevt this is why I asked how we could add e commerce to Sueetie. Social Networking and Social Commerce.
- Kevin Tunis
@daveburkevt real excited about Social Commerce - how's the best and quickest way to set up a lab to start testing this.
- Kevin Tunis
Kevin, Thanks for the feel-good tweets. Yeah, I think this is a great first step. Sorry, I don't remember our e-commerce discussion. You asked about quick setup, since Sueetie is a loose collection of apps, it's also a collection of visual studio project solutions for the full source. I was thinking of getting a web-only "starter kit" together which would require minimal configuration time. Looking forward to continuing this soon.
