I just finished the wonderful book: A world without time by Palle Yourgrau. What I really liked about the book, other than introducing me to the work of Gödel, was the philosophical angle on the theory presented including on the relativity theory and quantum mechanics. An excellent review of the book.
I just finished reading Shamans, Software and Spleens: Law and the Construction of the Information Society by James Boyle. It’s really an excellent book which brings up a lot of different subjects to shed more light and from new angles to the touchy subject of the property rights. The book is a bit heavy on legal terms but I managed to get through it 🙂
So I have been fixing 1.1.0 to try and get rid of enough bug so that people can actually start to test it. Currently I’m fixing the Movie plugin. I found a much better way to integrate movie playback (tv viewing) between mms and mplayer so that will be available soon. What is great about it is the tighter integration (no need to define keys for mplayer specifically, just use the mms ones) and much better performance than what was possible using the old approach (the code in current patch-118). Anyway I’ll publish it soon, it just needs a little more tweaking.
