a Good Software?

Joel (the on-software guy) has been doing marketing tours of his company's FogBugz version 6, a project management with all kinds of "thingamajiggies" software.

I noted two things:
First, his marketing strategy is very good. By giving free product demo and presentation all over the world.

Second, FogBugz 6 is a _very-very_ good software. That's what I would think how all software with user-interfaces should behave. Four thumbs up for Joel and team.

Info: You could watch a video recording of Joel presentation in Austin here: http://joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/10/24austindemo.html

If you have slow internet connections or some crazy proxy that won't let you enjoy the video (it's 265 MB big), I've found out that you could wget the flash video here: http://media.fogcreek.com/Joel-Austin07.flv

Admittedly, I've learned a lot.

Update: I should have said I've learned at least 3 things, the other one is the Evidence Based Scheduling system FogBugz have. Always have wondered about tracking and estimating time on my projects (by projects I really mean those are all the things/stuffs that require me to actually DO them).

Back to Fitrah :-)

Please... forgive us.

Happy Ied Mubarak 1428 H.

may Allah always be in our path.
Here and after.

64 (virtual) Processors on your desktop?

Taken from a great article by Ulrich Drepper on http://lwn.net:

"... Red Hat, as of 2007, expects that for future products, the “standard building blocks” for most data centers will be a computer with up to four sockets, each filled with a quad core CPU that, in the case of Intel CPUs, will be hyper-threaded. {Hyper-threading enables a single processor core to be used for two or more concurrent executions with just a little extra hardware.} This means the standard system in the data center will have up to 64 virtual processors. ..."
