been really busy over the past few days. work, school work, etc. plus my network’s been down since saturday w/ dhcp funkiness. the fix ended up being uninstalling and reinstalling the adapter.

hmm, so i just installed groove… and well, it sorta sucks. it has some really nice features, but the whole opening tons of instantiations of transceivers is sort of annoying and confusing. that’s by itself wouldn’t be a huge problem. what really makes groove useless is that it’s “shared spaces” 1) makes a complete copy of itself, and 2) makes a complete copy on other people’s machines. so, if i decide to make a file space and invite some friends, it will 1) make a copy of every file i share into it’s own data directory, and 2) when the invited friend connects, it will completely max out my hd/network bandwidth and transfer the whole thing to a friend. it has no concept of local/remote copies, shared resources etc. well, i guess i’ll wait and see what opencola‘s folders does. i talked to the companie’s founder, cory doctorow at sxsw (yeah yeah, rsn)

i noticed on /. that 3com is pulling out of making internet appliances. interesting fizzle going on… also, it looks like 3com’s web cam’s getting canned too. maybe that means i can buy one on clearance for cheap…
