What a week that was
Posted by Ian Holsman
So Google’s Summer of code has drawn to a close, the 4 students I have beeen mentoring have produced their code, and it is starting to appear in The HTTPD Repo. I believe each got a true experience of what developing open source code is about, and hopefully 2-3 of them will continue on with HTTPD!
I’ve been off work as Michelle and I have had some variant of flu, and has made mish bedridden, making me the ‘child care unit’… The girls also had a bout of pink eye (naturally one got it just as the other stopped) so it’s been a slow week. Oh.. and I’ve caught whatever they have got now.. just in time for the weekend ;(.
my MBA semester has also started, I’m enrolled in managerial economics and managing process (operations management). I’ve got an advantage in both of these.. For some reason all the stuff on the internet lately has been about long tails, lemon markets, prisoners dilemmas and red queens, and my work as in performance at cnet has given me some insight into queuing theory, which hopefully I can apply to ops mgmt. I also think that seeing how I can apply these things to help improve CNET’s internal operations.
So.. apologies in advance for boring the socks off you guys when I give my insights to these 2 subjects apply to the internet, open source, and Corporate IT.
