2007-05-06T03:43:35 SHDH 17: Worked on fantasyfamegame.com reporting/dashboard tools. Met the http://www.staticize.com/ guys and told them about some of their competitors: swivel, manyeyes, gapminder.
The only photo of me so far is this one of my left arm as I'm listening to Brad Templeton talk about how we should simplify system configuration via better organization of files and data:

He says the config data will eventually demand a database like the Windows registry. I say it can stay in little files as RDF, which can be easily combined at any time for querying, exporting, etc. Otherwise, I completely agree with him that my system configuration ("program foo version 1.2 is currently installed", or "alter this one line of that config file") should be separate from the actual foo files. I really want to diff the configs of all my home machines and merge some of their pointless diffs away. Meanwhile, I can't even find out how to get ubuntu to tell me what program config files I modified and which ones are still at their defaults.
