    Software is Eating the World auf Deutsch

    My university is preparing a bid for a major (fairly broad) German computer science conference. We are wondering how one would translate Marc Andreesen’s diktum “software is eating the world” into German. Software verschlingt die Welt? Naja. Vorschläge gern gesehen, Kommentare auch.

    Farewell, My First-Gen OnePlus

    This is my first-generation OnePlus. I dropped it and now it is broken. You may notice that I marked it up as China only, which means that I would use it in Mainland China only.

    Current Open Source Publications of General Interest

    Preparing for the relaunch of my course on free/libre, and open source software, I took stock of the general-interest papers I wrote about open source.

    Things Wrong with my Amazon Echo and Fire Tablet

    A while back I gushed about how great the Amazon Echo is. True Star Trek feeling for those who remember. I even bought an Amazon Fire tablet to go with it. With a couple of months more using the devices, I need to point out their weaknesses. In a nutshell, if you don’t want to […]
