By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 10-Nov-2009

I got really worked up earlier this week when @MicrosoftSubnet tweeted that Microsoft Acquires Teamprise Assets, Provides Cross-Platform Support for Visual Studio … and linked to that article. I clicked the link, read the headline … picked myself up off the floor, posted the link in half the IRC channels I hang out in, and [...]

This “Web 2.0” nonsense is still ridiculous, and I thought I’d just throw this out there to express my annoyance.

About Huddled Masses

This is web site is dedicated to the musings of Joel Bennett (aka Jaykul) about technology, software, software development, the web, and the world.

Any resemblance of the views expressed and the views of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. The resemblance between them and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader.

P.S.: I occasionally link to things I think are great. When I do, I occasionally find a "referral code" so I can make a little cash. I promise that I don't link to anything just because of that cash (I wouldn't cross the street for the amount of cash those links bring in, never mind write a whole blog post) ... but I do not promise that things I link to will stay great as time passes, nor that you will agree with me about their greatness!
