Krehbiel TechThoughts on Diaspora and Distributed Social NetworksThursday, July 8, 2010 [...]Like many people, I read about Diaspora a while back and thought it was a great idea. It's one of the few open-source projects I could see myself contributing to. Unfortunately, it's not "open" in the sense that the technical architecture is open to discussion - it will only become open after they define the architecture, good, bad or indifferent*. So, as any programmer would, I thought, "Okay, I have some ideas on this, so if they don't want my help, I'll just write my own distributed social network. How hard could it be?"

UltrViolet GamingUV’s Guide to MMORPGsSunday, April 18, 2010 This is a brief summary of my opinion of the pros and cons of each fantasy MMORPG I’ve played or re-played in the last few months. Keep in mind that I haven’t played every character class or experienced any end-game content in any of these games. Also, I am somewhat biased toward melee classes, solo adventuring and PvE (player vs. environment) gameplay. Vote For My Next SongSunday, August 22, 2010 I’m finishing up two new songs. Now which song should I work on next? Vote now! |
