Firefox 1.6 might include Python interpreter: <script type=”text/python”>def helloWorld: </script>

Friday, March 3rd, 2006

Rumors say Google engineers are working on a branch of code that will allow embedding python code on the client side.

It seems finally we won’t have to deal with an Object Based language (javascript) which makes sense… Now we’ll have a true Object Oriented language running on the backend of Firefox.
This totally makes sense, its just unbelievable that the new Web 2.0 runs on one of the crapiest, and error prone language of them all. Just try to do something in Javascript and you’ll agree on this.

Now Web 2.0 apps will be easier to write, I forsee better AJAX, err, APAX frameworks, and a lot of applications migrating from the desktop to the webtop.

Now all that’s left will be convincing Microsoft to do the same, but I bet they’ll put something like .NETish there.

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST “Why Javascript and not Python?”

The future of media – Part II – “The triad of DVRs, P2P and Social Networking”

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

In honor to the future of media, and by the suggestion of kakei-ho I decided to make this post in audio, aka, a Podcast.

OGG Stream (Point your xmms, winamp, iTunes to this location)

creative commons Magnet Download in ogg vorbis (You need LimeWire to download Magnets)

creative commons Magnet Download in mp3

In this podcast you’ll hear me one on one, I didn’t script it, it just came out “live”.

This podcast was created with Linux Ubuntu, Plantronic headsets, and Audacity.

You’ll hear me talking about the last post, how I think DVRs, P2P and Social Networking should live in your living room, how the whole business model of the RIAA sucks as it is, and why I think it’s bullshit that iTunes has sold a billion songs (I think big part was bought by themselves)

On the background I feature music from Radio Head, Morcheeba, Portishead, Paco de Lucia, Gotan Project and Rage Against the Machine.

You can listen in full to the Gotan Project song “Queremoz Paz”, featuring president Chavez voice clips over a nicely mixed tango, very original. (This doesn’t mean I agree with Chavez Ideology, It’s just funny to use his voice clips for something artistic and beautiful)

You can distribute this podcast freely under an Atribute-Non Comercial-Share Alike Creative Commons License.
