Another service that was announced at this years OSCON was Hiveminder. Hiveminder has been described as “RT for your life” by some of its users… and I gotta say I agree. It is currently in a private beta phase, but I was lucky enough to get an account so lets briefly look over some of the high points.
For a more in-depth look at Hiveminder, surf on over to ani ruhama.
RT for your life

The money I was counting on to get me to SF for WordCamp isn’t going to make it to me in time, so I am going to be a no show.
I was really looking forward to meeting so many of you, and cornering Matt to have a little chat about current events in our community. Looks like that will have to wait as well.

There is a comparison of features between SF and Google Code over at Engtech. There is also an article on Newsforge. I have already set up an account and checked in the code for K2 so that I can play a bit… I am currently underwhelmed.
Google announced their Google Code Project hosting service today at the O’reilly Open Source convention. Greg Stein of Apache, SVN and WebDAV fame announced in his session the new service from Google that is targeted at the Open Source Community.

And as you can see I have decided to go back to my normal theme. I hope you enjoyed this little stroll down spanish lane as much as I did.
But I felt like having half of my site in Spanish, so I activated this very interesting theme.

If you haven’t yet noticed, there is a new version of the Flickr website.
There are some things that I think are a step down visually, like removing the box around individual images, but for the most part I am impressed with the changes that have been made.

Written in Plano, TX on May 1, 2006 and tagged with site-spotlight and personal-reflections.
You know it is time to just launch the thing, and take a breather.
I started out this particular design full of hope and energy; after about 3 days the energy was gone and hope was on a south bound train out of Chicago. I think I am honestly losing my ability to design for the web.

Well comments are now working again, but they are kinda ugly still. I should have them ‘not fugly’ in the next hour or so, bear with me. Oh and let the commenting begin!
I am in the middle of things with the reboot; alas a child and eleventy-billion projects means less time for this site as I would like.
