Browsing session
I was just looking for stuff about Singularity, when I learned some new informations:
- NEVER, EVER name your project .net, .com, .org or anything like this. Also applies to common words as tea, cup, cat, whatever (actually “whatever” may be a good name). Nobody will be able to find information they want. Anyone who suggested “.NET” name, should now search “.NET operating system” on google -> results entropy goes through the roof.
- Managed OS? Java’s done it already: JX, JOS, JNode, e-leos, JSYS. I wonder which will survive to be a real system one day? JSYS for some reasons looks like it’s going to be similar to Hurd - nonexistant. e-leos is not professional. Rest is doing “something”. 5 separate projects, trying to build 5 OSes, doing the same things, but with different implementations… strange. (no - it’s not similar to distros in any way, unless they’ll agree on some common interface to kernel)
- The only really working Managed OS right now is Inferno, which I’d really like to test some day. Limbo language and possibility to run it as guest OS under other systems make is really nice.
- Through some links, I’ve hit a nice blog JMPinline, which is a real pleasure to read. If you want a good programmer’s blog - go there.
- And on JMPinline I’ve read something about smartphones and CE .NET. That reminded me once more, how badly I want to own a Linux Phone. Nothing special - just phone + bt / wifi / whatever there is + Linux. Why isn’t there any of those in normal price in my part of the world? Do I really have to go back to Siemens firmware hacking to get one? :) Not, that it wasn’t interesting… but Siemens didn’t want to help anybody and we had to have fun in our own sandbox.
We’ve already found gfx, sound, card reading, serial interface and many other modules - is it that hard to publish at least a .h file with addresses, Siemens? Even for some old phone!
That’s all for strange links from today.
PS. CommunityServer doesn’t support trackbacks… that’s all for community…
