You know your mind is being stretched when you can get excited by a presentation of which you understand about 30% and it really shouldn’t make sense to anyone who can’t hack. You are also probably at Barcamp.
Here are the crumbs:
- Long running processes
Search the future
worker queues/farms
event oriented applications
delegated response
out of order reception
compartmentalisation
multiple sources of query results
ubiquitous computing
Also:
- extreme late-binding
data and code combined in browser, processes talking to each other
delegate responsibility to different parts of the system, don’t have to trust or rely on one bit only
And finally:
The internet is the computer.
Another session I’ll remember was Lloyd’s talk about Tuttle Club previously known as Social Media cafe, some of it can be found here.
Some applications of note that I will be checking out are TipIt, NoseRub and DaoConsumer.
Many thanks to Ben and Ian for being such good hosts. And to Google, of course.
