A BBC photographer embarked on a project to talk to, “… people you see every day but never meet. Urban living is full of these close encounters where we never make contact.”
Tony, from London, had the following to say, “Oh, stop it, you touchy-feely freak! I live in London precisely because people here are NOT overly intimate. I like the fact that I walk amongst strangers, I love the fact I am not subject to tedious drivel from people who happen to impinge upon my geography. If you want to know your neighbours, go live up North or something - stop assuming we all want to be like you.”

<@ebnf> “I made a program that connect to the outlook calendar database, checks if a meeting takes place on any of the 6 floors at lunch and then alerts me of the meetings ending so that I can rush to the breakroom on that floor and get at all the food before anyone else can. Those sandwiches can be really tasty.”
<@ebnf> that guy is genius

I finally broke down and bought one of the Mac Heist bundles for $49. Although there has been some grumbling that Mac Heist is ripping off indie software developers, they entered into the deal of their own volition and it lets users get software at a good price. A portion of the sale also goes to charity. With any luck, Textmate will get unlocked (I have a license at work, but not for my personal laptop).

I’m still waiting for “hack” Java hacked javva (don’t ask, long story), but Java SE 6 actually has some pretty sweet features. I’ve been impressed with what Sun is doing lately, they are making the right moves. I’m excited to see what the JRuby guys do with a GPL Java, with any luck they’ll make the JVM much more accommodating to dynamic languages, which includes my favorite Python (Jython)
