Re: Ariel Stallings: Microspotting the Empire

Apogeum — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:56:17 GMT

I am not complaining about Ariel or Ritzy! I am complaining about you! The truth is, I think both of them covered for you.

The post is called Ariel Stallings "Microspotting the empire". so I thought Ariel will explain about Ariel and Charles & Ritzy will find out about the empire, and then so will I. Now Ritzy is Marketing so I don't expect her to try and shake out "interesting spottings" but I did honestly expect it from Charles the Inquisitive.

But maybe it is just me, I was so enthusiastic after the Roz interview, I had to edit my post!

no, it was a monologue by Ariel. which is totally fine. I like her style. but it is not what you would expect from an entry in WM_IN with charles and ritzy, especially if charles is not asking questions.

but, but, but, PEOPLE be reasonable, who am I blaming if not Microsoft? you really need to be the deathstar! do it for me, ok?, will you? please!

I can't turn to Apple for that, they don't have products!! what would I do? nobody in his right mind would expect the next iBubble to work! so why complain?

Look, how will I be glorious Tron if there is no Master Control Program?

Take Vista or the ribbon, they are really, really terrible AND stupid, giving me lots to complain about, but then, I don't even use those! I use Windows XP, so my vote doesn't really count!

See how that works? It's WIN WIN!

But seriously:

Would it be possible at Microsoft to admit that Steve Ballmer (who I love) is burnt out and nobody "really" likes Ray Ozzie? That would indeed be "open". Honestly, I can't see that. The clothes and hair thing? "Come on!"

Charles: This wasn't an interview, it was 40 minutes of Microplugging.

To answer your only question: "Is there a Microsoft culture?":

"No, there is only a developer culture and it is where you'd expect it to be, with Anders, Brian, Erik, aso.. so you did the right thing focusing Channel9 on technical issues, otherwise there probably wouldn't be a Channel9 anymore."

Did someone force you to do that, you can tell me!

Hi Charles, I would love to see a cloud specific show, maybe have John, Dennis as regulars. You could even call it "cloud7"

"It's a different camel!" Erik Meijer

I love that man!

And you too Charles!

What a great interview. I'd love to see more of Powershell by the way!
Maybe Jeffery Snover could do a few more videos? (hint-e-di-hint-hint)

Re: Ray Ozzie: Introducing Live Mesh

Apogeum — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:16:18 GMT

Ray Ozzie is a terrible speaker, I cant sit to any of his talks (including this one). It is like staring at a blank wall. There is noise, but no content.

Live Mesh, I am sorry but sticking wings to a fish (and giving him a shiny label), wont make him fly. (apple doesn't fly, their users just believe it does... please dont go there!)

I miss Bill Gates already. Putting a computer on every desk! Yeah!
And now: Hey, we are copying your files on any server! Ah, and back again!

Please give this job, ahm this title, to Scott Guthrie, just because he has no time for big pointless speeches, doesn't mean he doesn't fit the role, it means he is working his behind off for REAL innovation.

Also: He can talk! (hope he does at PDC)

I totally agree. it really is grey. I got a bright light lamp a few years back. it compensates for grey skies.

yeah Barcelona would have been fun, sadly I couldn't go.

yes I live in vienna. I really like it, but I am looking forward to a "sunny" break!

I guess the "shy" part is preventing people from applying for a job on c9. having more niners in videos like this might show some of them that there is no need to be shy.

I would have suggested little guru immediately, but I can understand that he needs to focus on his education.

perhaps c9 could have a sub conference on any of the next big events. that way more niners could try there face on camera.

I am sure charles would appreciate getting some assistence, it sometimes seems like he is pulling the cart all by himself, which is certainly romantic for a time, but becomes very exhausting very fast. I know, I've been there, many times...

little guru: hey, how do you like vienna?

Re: Brian Beckman: Don't fear the Monad

Apogeum — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 20:26:24 GMT

Thats great!

I still don't think I understand monads and functional programming, my lack of math background is complicating things. But I totally get the complexity built on simplicity to ensure composability part, that is kind of my whole bid.

simplicity meaning: "easy to decide" as opposed to "easy, because I don't have to decide". so I guess functional programming will still require a very particular mindset to be successfully employed.

I am really looking forward to seeing more great interviews like this one.

I really like stuff like this. Since I am watching Channel 9 for hours on end (while I am working) I am through anything that peaks my interest and almost anything that doesn't.

There really should be a Brian Beckman show (and also a Jeffrey Snover and Scott Guthrie show for that matter. although you probably should let him have a long vacation first! he looks like a two year crunch at least)

Well and since I am at it already: THANK YOU Charles!
