So I RDP'd into my machine at home, to check on my personal email and a few other things, and came to notice that my page file was hovering around 1.5GB... "Holy cats," I said, "I gotta reboot!" So, I did. I consequently was disconnected, and I hadn't reconnected until a little bit ago... apparently, either my RSS aggregator was at fault, or something in the reboot, but my aggregator's OPML file has been hosed... 300+ RSS feeds, gone.
This makes me sad.
As I walked to my next session (Indigo + Avalon = Smart Connected App), I realized
that this was perhaps the development gods' way of forcing me to build my own damn
aggregator, this time on the Longhorn platform, WinFX and all. I might just do that
once I get home... there's not nearly enough room on my laptop for Yukon, Whidbey
*and* Longhorn... not gonna happen.
I may be wrong, but I think the CPU just breathed a sigh of relief... my brain is
approaching critical mass, and is about to topple over into "fried" territory, so
I wouldn't be surprised if the delusions are far behind.
While I'm on the topic of new blogging apps, I had an opportunity at lunch to speak
with one of the members of the Longhorn/Aero team, specifically in the "People and
Groups" um, group. I have now become convinced that a few years from now - maybe only
a couple, maybe 5 or 10 - social software is going to cease to be a division of its
own... it will simply be a piece, an architecture upon which everything has at least
a little investment.
Well, the session's starting, so I'll leave this here... more later today, probably.
