I was surfing through O’Reilly Network’s Weblogs . Its a cool place, but it is mildly exasperating for people who are not familiar with the O’Reilly Network. You would thing that O’Reilly would know enough about information navigation to have some kind of a directory. There actually isnt any good directory or search engine for weblogs out there. But the number and size of Weblogs in O’Reilly is managable enough for them to be able to categorize them properly.
Anyway, Gordon Mohr’s weblog has the scoop on what is happening on Kazaa – the P2P file sharing software. Gordon is the CTO of Bitzi – a similar company that apparently ‘identifies, describes, and discovers files of all types’. Sounded a little like a Microsoft web services pitch to me, but the site looks interesting. Would spend some time exploring it this weekend. I also ran into ONLamp.com somewhere there. It seems to be a great resource for web development, using linux, apache, mysql, perl, php, python. I have been planning to look into php for some time. I heard that PHP Manual is the best online resource for it. But OnLamp seems to cover the other related technology areas too.
BTW, I am trying to migrate my bookmarks from IE to Opera. If someone knows an easy way, please drop me a note.
