| Re: [PLUG] Tonight's topic? |
Sorry that I had to bail before the pizza, so I didn't get an opportunity to introduce myself. I enjoyed the meeting and the group and I'm looking forward to future meetings! Here are some links to a few of the topics that ESR mentioned: Buffer bloat i.e. fixing Internet congestion by attacking inefficient queueing mechanisms. (Seems to be a good video explanation on this site: http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat) GPS Hardware: Getting an accurate time measurement to determine the extent of buffer bloat. Related to the gpsd efforts here: http://catb.org/gpsd/hardware.html Culture Hacking or the art of naming existing good practices, based on ESR's Ground Truth Document blog post: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=4532 We heard a cautionary tale of over-engineering, based on the CIA IRC notification service, http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=4538 And lastly, this book came up in discussion, and I can't remember how :) I think it was related to culture hacking: http://www.amazon.com/The-Culture-Game-Tools-Manager/dp/0984875301/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346929668&sr=8-1&keywords=the+culture+game -Josh On Sep 5, 2012, at 7:29 PM, Martin Dellwo <martin.dellwo@gmail.com> wrote: > And, as I've arrived late, maybe someone can come let me in the side door... :) > > Martin Dellwo > phlblader@earthlink.net > http://phlblader.smugmug.com > > On Sep 5, 2012, at 4:39 PM, Martin Dellwo <martin.dellwo@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Thank you. >> >> Martin Dellwo >> phlblader@earthlink.net >> http://phlblader.smugmug.com >> >> On Sep 5, 2012, at 3:16 PM, Rich Freeman <r-plug@thefreemanclan.net> wrote: >> >>> On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 3:08 PM, Martin Dellwo <martin.dellwo@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> I have down that there's a PLUG Central meeting tonight...
