Dopplr can now import contacts from other sites – notably Gmail, Facebook, and Twitter… but it can also import hCard from any appropriately marked-up page. Very nice!

Chris Wanstrath drops the Sake Bomb – it’s like rake, but system-wide, and easily extended from the net. Which is very, very nice.

Rands has a book. It looks very good.

“Just as the mini-player in iTunes does for music; MiniMail puts information about your inbox at your fingertips. You can easily see messages as they arrive, and quickly action them.” Want!

Apart from the fact the whole lighttpd/fastcgi stack is a bit old-hat, some useful reminders for those of use not so used to Debian…

“…when you come back from Reboot, all other conferences suffer by comparison; however, I think there are some lessons that other events can learn from Reboot and LIFT that might help them improve.” Great notes from Lee Bryant.

Lots of good sample code, and the links are most handy
-
Pneumatic messaging tubes. Awesome.

You really had to be there for full effect… but it was phenomenal.

Marc Andressen provides some interesting analysis of F8. The news for popular applications, such as iLike, isn’t good.
What I’m up to this weekend: Interesting and Hacking
15 June 2007
Why?
First, I’m going to be talking (or prattling) about pipes and tubes at Russell Davies’ Interesting 2007. Should be excellent.
Then, when it’s over, I’m off to Alexandra Palace for Hack Day. I have some partners in crime there who I should be able to fall into line with.
Crikey. That’s a weekend and a half. I’m going to need a holiday.
Reboot 9: notes now online
15 June 2007
My notes from Reboot 9 are now online. Forgot to mention this when I did it last week, so am now making up for lost time.
When I say “notes”, I mean my notes on other people’s talks (as opposed to the notes on my own talk, which have been much requested and which are still in the pipeline).
Anyhow, do check them out if you’re curious as to what went on. They’re vaguely useful if you weren’t there; most things in [square brackets] are me extemporising, rather than anything the speaker said.

If in doubt, compress your own – the Prototype team aren’t going to do it for you, after all.
