    • I gave two talks for the Android team, working with Dave Bort (the handsome guy you see in the video on the front page here) and Shawn to develop material that will help them specifically in transitioning from Perforce and highlighting the tasks that they felt would be most common with thier workflow and project size.

    • Audience Segmentation: Lets you look at custom slices of your Website’s audience (such as people who stay for more than two minutes, people who came from TechCrunch, people who came from the New York Times, people who bought something, people who came from Techcrunch and bought something).
  • tags: OS

    • This concept of throwing shared libraries into OS global directories has long been thought of as a necessity to allow for greater sharing of common code and data. Back in the days when disks were small and RAM was only a few MB, that approach made a lot of sense. But, those days are long gone and every so many years you’ve got to re-examine your requirements relative to the advancements in hardware.
    • In addition, you need a user-specific storage area for prefs and other special data. But, there are several ways to do that, even via user-specific symbolic links. Not a problem.
      • Anyway, I point this out because I really like to see rebellious developers working to make computing systems cleaner and simpler, rather than the usual case of making them insanely complex. Good work, keep it up. – post by joel
