The Rules of Beeping: Exchanging Messages Via Intentional "Missed Calls" on Mobile Phones

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:28:03 +0000

The Rules of Beeping: Exchanging Messages Via Intentional "Missed Calls" on Mobile Phones:

This article explores the practice of “beeping” or “missed calling” between mobile phone users, or calling a number and hanging up before the mobile’s owner can pick up the call. Most beeps are requests to call back immediately, but they can also send a pre-negotiated instrumental message such as “pick me up now” or a relational sign, such as “I’m thinking of you.” The practice itself is old, with roots in landline behaviors, but it has grown tremendously, particularly in the developing world.

Programming languages, operating systems, despair and anger

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 09:15:55 +0000

Programming languages, operating systems, despair and anger:

Or, the State of the End-User Environment / Programming Onion…

So, in a confluence of events, I have been lately looking at Scala and
yesterday spent some time looking at Pike / Thompson / Google et.
al.’s “Go” language for “systems programming.” And Guido halts Python
syntactic evolution before the job is done…

And it fills me with despair and anger.
