I've been working on a new product for Reaktix. It's almost ready for an initial beta release.
What is WebView Snapshot?

Windows, Mac OS X, and certain Linux distributions
What interfaces will you make available?
The initial release will consist of a command line client that can be scripted, and a UI application for general use. Future releases will have a C library and COM interface to the application.
How much will this cost?
The initial cost will be $9.95, and will include free updates for 6 months.
(This is directed mostly at my boss, but is useful for any of you software program managers out there:)
"You can know the content of a release, or the release date, but not both".
Mark Malkoff, a comedian and filmmaker, is spending an entire month on an AirTran plane to shwo off AirTran's new Go-Go wifi. Is this a guy nut or what?

I have a strong belief that the US should not make the same mistakes as our fellow countries, and keep healthcare in private hands. Now, our system isn't perfect, but its a lot better than what other countries have. When was the last time you was dying and had to wait over an hour for an ambulance? Or be in triage over 2 hours (most of the time, its a lot less than that...). My girlfriend is Canadian, where healthcare is "free". However, its not really free:
- The government charges you for the insurance based on your income. It's only free if your broke.
- It doesn't pay for prescriptions. And as most people know, prescriptions cost an arm and a leg at times... One of my medicines retails for $900 a bottle (30 day supply)
Now, I like Obama's plan, which improves on the private system we have by adding an optional public system.

I just watched Short Circuit, a movie about a robot that becomes "alive" that was released in May 1986 (before my birth). It's amazing how well the animatronics are on such an old classic movie. It's also good funny movie. If you have Comcast, its on On Demand under Free Movies

So my employer says I cannot post useful information about the industry anymore (such as how to report annoying ads).. Apparently being a much larger corporate entity changes things :). I also removed most of those posts from my blog here, to comply with their requests.
I figured out how to get my blog to auto-syndicate to MySpace and Facebook. Hello all!
Yay! I also got my openSUSE Lizards account today as well.
