- Aliopacto (1216658015|%O ago) - I've been writing short stories over the years. They tend to disturb, that is the point. []
- Continuous Exposure (1216039737|%O ago) - It struck me that the whole concept of digital camera, in imitating the old film cameras, has a fundamental inefficiency. There is, perhaps, a better way. [gadgets shouldexist]
- Light Notebook Shootout (1215788897|%O ago) - After several months of using a MacBook Air, I picked up a Lenovo X61. [gadgets ubuntu]

- Communications (1242594042|%O ago) - Cleaning out an old notebook, I found this article that I wrote in 1999. Surprisingly, it still makes sense, so here, saved from the Delete button of history, is an analysis of Communications, and kind of a prediction of Facebook and Twitter. [facebook pink]
- 10 Principles for AMQP (1241352409|%O ago) - Ten ways that AMQP can be made simpler, more backwards compatible, more interesting, and overall more enjoyable and successful for all who work on it and use it. [amqp community sermon]

- Obama and the End of Politics (1232820658|%O ago) - Watching Obama's inaguration, the whole world surely is aware that this is a historic event. But quite why is difficult to understand. It can't simply be the end of Bush, nor the election of a non-white to the most important job in the world. In this article I'll explain what I think is really happening, and what it means for our modern world. We have witnessed a revolution, but one that is far from over. [internet politics]

- How I'm Voting, and Why (1244210384|%O ago) - This Sunday Belgians vote for local, regional, and European Union representatives. I'm going to vote for the party that I consider to be the most pro-business, pro-market, pro-competition. That is, the Greens. Here's why. [politics]
- Review: Handpresso Wild (1249126086|%O ago) - Gadget review: Handpresso Wild [low-carbon-high-lifestyle]
- Real Programmers Prefer ØMQ (1280789540|%O ago) - Forgive me, for it's been a year since my last blog posting. I'm not sure I can Hail Mary my way out of this one but I'll try. During the last year I worked six months on and off in a small Polish town called Torun, helping the Wikidot.com team turn their business into something that would survive a long time. A few beers and Polish language lessons later… OK, "few" is strictly relative, I'm now working on and off in another small central European town, inflicting damage on another innocent project. [Ømq]
- Community-owned Software (1280840991|%O ago) - Today after some months of looking at the ZeroMQ community I announced that we were going to switch to a community-owned model, away from the current model where ZeroMQ is owned by iMatix and we keep the right to relicense that as we want. []
