The trends of this october are about some upcoming products. A clear analisys of QuarkXPress failure is sketched in roughlydrafted site. I do not think the same consideration can be applied to Vista.
As Joel said, M$ can throw away much money before only starting to see its market reduced.

Estonia is a very wonderful place.
I have thinked it'd be funny to compose a small story about it, instead of the photos alone. So I have done a small "comic adventure" using the fantastic ComicLife product of Plasq. If you have a mac you must try it!

Celeste
Celeste is a mail reading and organizing program. The name "Celeste" is a reference to an earlier mail reader named Baba, which was written at Xerox PARC by Steve Putz and John Maloney.
Nowadays, Celeste is maintained by Giovanni Giorgi (me).Latest Feature
A new revision is planned for the end of September 2006, and code name will be "Sonic". Sonic will include a smart mailing-list filter and a better "leave message on server" option. I implemented years ago an auto-filtering system in AppleScript. The filtering engine used the RFC2369 and some other tricks to detect yahoo mailing list. Sonic will have also an auto-filter for google mailing list too.The leave message on server option is quite bad now. It creates a lot of duplicated messages.
The new implementation will avoid dowloading twice a message, using a mix of messageId and timestamp to detect duplicated messages.

The installation was fine. I have some problems with the sqlite3 driver and I ought to switch back to the PostreSQL driver. I initially planned sqlite3 as deployment platform.I have to change my mind after losing over three hours trying to resolve a linking problems on the production machine. By the way with PostgreSQL I will have more powerful exporting capabilities

BWolf is open source, and you can get a full description here including links to downloads. I will mantain a blog of all the work I will do. In the last two months I set up a Subversion Repository and played a little with Django.

Steve is not a normal solution provider.
Steve is the final destination for Project Management troubles.Let's see how Steve can solve problems
The Ten Steve Rules
- If you have a customer you can get my attention
- If your project is run out of time and you need to finish the product yesterday, you will face a disaster. Call me
- Cannabis programming is too light
- You cannot offer a Lunch to Steve, unless you have four ticket resturants and at least one more for you
- Are you saying you need more time to finishing the use case? These are details. If you cannot get it in the required time, I will fire you (Loading a gun): in the real sense.
- Peace and calm are an useless evil.
- True Metal Hackerz get the work done in less time then you
- Linux has a a cold bird as Logo. This is enought to kick it off the project.
- I prefer Illy over Java, sorry
- There isn't a tenth rule

Yes this is a negative-advertise (sometimes called flame). I get disappointed by "The Super Dimension Fortres" after about 3 years of use. The service was spartan but quite good, and you got lifetime access for only 36$. I also paid for some additional services from time to time. Then in the summer I launched a "vhost" command, to understand how vhost works. I found no manual and no help, so I closed my shell and went to bed.
After some month, the administrator asked me to pay for a VHOST service I never used. Abeit the time passed, I complain about it sending an email. I recieved NO response.
After a month my account was deleted.
I cannot speak with the administrator. I received only silly auto-generated email asking for money.
And by the way no a decent bill evidence.
This total lack of communication and brute-force resolution of a trivial problem is bad. So I must discourage my friends and readers, to AVOID the Super Dimension Fortres service at all.
