I am currently a software engineer at Google, where as a member of the Android platform team I build frameworks and user interfaces.
The blog here at dsandler.org is mostly historical; you can find more recent posts on Google+.
Grrr. Some spammers have my old mbhs.edu address and are using it as the
From header on their spam. This has been going on for a while, but
apparently now they’ve been hit with virii, and my mbhs.edu is getting
thoughtful messages from sysadmins advising me that I’ve been infected
(because they’re receiving viral attachments, ostensibly from me).
Bleh.
People are using iPods as portable
software-theft devices, according to this Wired article.
(There’s a Dallas angle, too:)
Unsure whether the kid was a thief or an out-of-uniform employee, Webb
watched as he left the store. “I thought there’s no point in getting any
more involved in this imbroglio,” Webb said. “Besides, this is Texas. You
never know what he might have been carrying.”
(PS: The article mentions iPodlounge, which I must admit is a
pretty slick site.)
I had seen a reference to the chilling effects
clearinghouse recently, but Ingrid reminded me that I wanted
to post it. (Word to the wise: Any mention of the DMCA in my presence
will pretty much whip me up instantly into frenzy, in much the same way
mention of Russell’s
paradox will disorient and anger Amar like a cornered animal.

Yes, disturbed!
News for the morning: (1) Ice-cold water this morning. I feel
miserable. (2) 8:30 meeting again today. (3) The Internet
seems to be broken today; I mean, what kind of world is it where AlterSlash is down? (4) This link is just for Chris. (5) Everyone seems to be
linking to the BlogSisters
today (or was this yesterday’s meme? It’s so hard to keep track).
Reaction to high-res (1600×1200) digital photography.
erin: Dude, your ice halo pictures are the
largest pictures EVER! EVAR!
I’ve since gone and added a viewer that lets you choose a different resolution
for the image. 400×300 isn’t as nice for printing, but it sure looks better
on an iBook; try it out.
dsandlercast and marconecast are two copies of my Python
winamp-track IRC bot. They get along rather well:
[11:22] * marconecast wishes dsandlercast
would shut up already.
[11:22] * dsandlercast hisses softly.
