A while back I posted some negative comments Guy Watson made on his blog, regarding the FITC Festival. It spawned a whack of comments (for my blog, at least), and a not-so-insignificant amount of emails going across the etha.
Well, it seems that Guy has come to his senses. He posted a follow-up on his blog yesterday. And not only has he apologized - but it seems he will be coming to the Festival (9 days away…).
Thanks for the apology, Guy. Looking forward to seeing you in Toronto.
Cold, blustery, it-was-over-15-degrees-celsius-on-Tuesday Toronto.

Well, I decided to do some empirical testing, and, sure enough, performance wins out.
What am I talking about, right?

A buddy of mine from Sheridan built a really cool Flash blog application - where all the blog entries are ‘doodles.’ Really well executed and worth a look-see, even in it’s current beta state.

Aside from being completely quiet on the blog front lately, I’ve noticed that I’ve missed out on the ‘manifesto’ I originally (and silently) set for myself with this blog - pushing out code. I’ve decided to make that my new mandate for 2005: I will start posting code. Lots of it. Hopefully some of it will even be good.

I came across this on Martin Fowler’s bliki - a community resource from Microsoft - “bringing together pattern summaries from many pattern authors and provid[ing] a platform for discussion and further exploration of the interconnections between them.”
