- One of the most important decisions a team needs to make is how much money to raise. As the 90's wore on, the answer was pretty easy: as much as possible. Capital seemed almost free, marketing budgets were getting big, venture funds were getting bigger and $100 million rounds were not out of the question. The amount of capital raised had little to do with a company's needs and the whole issue of how much is enough was rarely discussed. |

gzip (Apr 26 2003 23:32 GMT) - Ted Leung is tracking gzip support in aggregators. Given that its less than 10 lines of code to support gzip & deflate in .NET (via #ziplib), none of .NET aggregators have a very good excuse for not supporting it. I rev'd my build of Syndirella to include gzip/deflate support (this build also includes blogThis support). |

- I was suspicious after the Diana interview but the Jackson one really did finish his reputation off, so to speak. I suggest Sir Trevor disassociates himself quickly! Have a look at the Uri Geller website> It's quite something, although I'm not sure quite what. |

- Want a good tech buzz? Then you need to delve into some of the i-mode stuff that's out there. I quickly ripped through most of I-mode Strategy last night and was completely blown away by it. DoCoMo pioneered everything that we're just starting to get our hands on over 3 years ago. It's amazing to see the timelines and to realize how far ahead the Japanese have been in so many areas in mobile technology. |

One in ten (Apr 26 2003 23:26 GMT) - Good editorial from the WSJ on how this summer may provide mankind a chance to eradicate SARS, just one chance. In what I find a deeply disturbing irony the journal has that editorial behind their profit making wall; interesting counter point to China's problems. I can't believe anybody is taking the Chinese numbers seriously. The first reports of SARS in China were apparently last fall. |

- SmartNavigation seems to be a nice feature - it allows Internet Explorer to handle PostBacks in a very clever way. You don't have to worry about having a long site - it will return to the point where you have been before. Or if you define some events - SmartNavigation will enable you to invoke the handlers without posting the page back to the server. But: If you are going to program a serious website for users of different browsers (Netscape, Opera, Konqueror or Safari) you need to turn SmartNavigation off, because it simply doesn't work with this kind of browsers. |
