I have now joined the Swindon Library. In addition to books, they also offer free access (up to 2 hours per day) to some Internet PCs there.
Fri Jan 13 17:03:20 2006 GMT: New Year in London
After a short visit to Salzburg over Christmas, I decided to spend the New Year weekend in London. As expected, the area around Big Ben (particularly Westminster Bridge) was awfully crowded around midnight, so I only made it to Parliament Square where the fireworks (which reportedly cost around one million pounds) were only partially visible.
But the main attraction this weekend was London's New Year Parade which started at 12 noon on New Year's day on Parliament Square and lasted for more than three hours (with around 10000 artists from 20 countries).
And to round the weekend off I even managed to make it to the guard change ceremony at Buckingham Palace (which turned out to be quite useless). Of course, I also walked around an awfully crowded Oxford Street and to Harrods.
Sun Nov 27 14:33:04 2005 GMT: omniORB and Ice Performance Compared
Duncan Grisby has compared the performance of omniORB with Ice. Even though ZeroC claims that "Ice provides features that make it inherently faster than other middleware technologies, such as CORBA", Duncans comparison shows that omniORB beats Ice in most cases.
Thu Nov 24 21:43:52 2005 GMT: The end of USENET
LWN has published an article (subscriber only content) on it's front-page claiming that Usenet is dead. Well, like most others who have posted comments, I don't really agree. Maybe some of the non-technical hierarchies might have lost most of their users to Web forums, but there is still lots of useful content on Usenet. And even though some ISPs are shutting their news servers down (mostly because of the bandwidth and storage cost of running a full-feed), small privately run free text-only servers are appearing (see this small list).
Tue Nov 22 00:12:51 2005 GMT: Moving to Swindon
The rumors that I will be moving to Swindon, UK are true. A few weeks ago I have accepted a new job as a Senior Software Engineer at Lucent Technologies in Swindon.
Last weekend I visited Swindon (for the first time) to take a look around and sort out some temporary accomodation. I have already updated my Web site accordingly.
So, there are now only a few days left for me in Salzburg before moving to Swindon on 1st December and starting in my new job on 5th December.
