Beyond Java

I just started reading 'Beyond Java'

Quite fascinating..Ruby seems to be quite an exciting language..especially when i learnt that 4.print{Ruby} prints Ruby four times..

Tremendous potential to become a fast track pro language.

Powerset front end in Ruby!!

Mark says he has best Ruby developers..so went for Ruby..sounds strange!!

Herez more...

Hi, Powerlabbers!Last week, we sent out an announcement to Powerlabbers before we posted it to our own blog. The response from everyone was really positive (thanks for all of the e-mails!) so we're going to do it whenever we have a major announcement. Powerset has some big news that will be posted today on Kevin Clark's blog (http://glu.ttono.us). Kevin is one of Powerset's Ruby Rockstars. He'll soon announce that Powerset will build its front-end in Ruby. (For the non-technical out there, Ruby is a very cool programming language rapidly growing in popularity.)

Image Hosting

The free image hosting site http://bayimg.com/ seems to be the simplest site for uploading images without any pre requisites like user registration etc..performance too is quite cool..and most importantly uploading involves only two mouse clicks on a single screen.

Powerset Search release

Well, we just sent out our first screen shots of one of our demo search products and had such a response, that I thought I would throw my hat in the mix as well.
After mulling about for a bit, I decided that I wanted to be the first to post a screen shot of Powerslabs (it's a pretty cool screenshot and in my opinion a much sexier screenshot than the search screen shot)
This screenshot is an example from our travel group, one of the categories of search we'll be exploring. We'll also be exploring other categories like entertainment and reference. Within each of these categories, we'll have lots of activities. You'll be able to watch videos explaining the Natural Language concepts that power Powerset, take surveys to help us understand what users want, brainstorm ideas on specific search problems (and vote on them too), enter design competitions where you can suggest search interface ideas and, of course,
get ready......get ready..... try out multiple demo concepts from Powerset in each group category.

Hint: Powerlabbers are getting this blog entry 1 hour before I post it (that will be the norm from now on, so sign up if you want the inside scoop) I figured since there is such competition to be the first, I would actually give the Powerlabbers a shot at beating me to it.
Hint: We may not be launching Powerlabs officially until September, but we will be selecting a small group of people early to give it a test drive.
Hint: We are going to be announcing some pretty interesting stuff over the next couple of weeks. We have been holding back for quite a while and we are brimming with news (double hint: we acquired someone)
Warning: I am making my first video blog (which I will try to do weekly) so you will have to deal with my ugly mug directly. in each video I am going to try to be dirt honest, give you the straight news and I will be announcing important new information.
