The Backchannel: Node-Powered Foosball, File System Latency and Building the Cloud

May 27, 2011 – 11:22 am

When not busy updating Node.js to version 0.4.8, Ryan Dahl loves that Hamburg-based agency Sinner Schrader modified their office foosball table to keep track of games, post scores to Twitter and track “league” results over time — and powered the system with Node.js. Jealous? We are. But it’s all open source so that you can [...]

The Backchannel: Node Everywhere, DTrace Details and a New Joyeur

February 10, 2011 – 8:03 am

Just when you thought it was safe to settle on node.js version 0.3.8, version 0.4.0 is already here. But a potentially bigger development was Hewlett-Packard’s recent expansion of WebOS — with its native node.js support — to a full range of devices, from desktop PCs to tablets and smartphones, leaving Ryan D. to remark “i [...]

The Backchannel: Snowmaggedapocalypse, Visualizing Node and Showing Support Some Love

February 2, 2011 – 11:21 pm

Yes, it’s frightfully cold across much of North America. We’re preparing to send sled dogs carrying RAID arrays north from San Francisco if the Vancouver office gets buried — which might actually prove cheaper than sending the data over residential broadband if metering goes into effect. And honestly, what else are you going to do [...]

Linkdump: Nathan Myhrvold Strikes Again, Amazon’s Hollywood Dreams and Anti-Hydrogen

November 19, 2010 – 1:08 am

So once upon a time Google invested in former Microsoft CTO Nathan Myhrvold’s Intellectual Ventures. Then Intellectual Ventures went and secured 30,000 patents.

New Joyeur Trent Mick has a ways to go on his moustache for Movember, the Australian prostate cancer charity craze that’s sweeping the world, or at least our Vancouver office.

Joyeur: Under New Management

October 19, 2010 – 9:53 am

Joyeur has been undergoing some renovations, hence the radio silence, as there’s been a change in management. Or, more specifically, it now has some management! Namely, me, Jackson West. You may remember me from such blogs as SFist, NewTeeVee and Valleywag, where clearly I didn’t write enough gossip about Joyent because they went and hired [...]
