Video from Brightcove: Steve Jobs at D (direct link to the video)

A good interview, ending with a monster quote for the ages... Steve was asked how many copies of iTunes were out there, he said several times as many as there are iPods, implying at least 300M copies. The interviewer (I think it was Walt Mossberg but I honestly don't know) said that makes Apple a major Windows developer. Jobs nods, and says they've received cards and letters from people saying iTunes is their favourite application on Windows, and says:

"It's like giving a glass of ice water to somebody in hell."

Ya gotta love the guy. :-)

Unfortunately my summer work situation took a bad turn last week, I'm told a business partner pulled out and things are now on hold.

I'm looking for full-time employment through the end of August / beginning of September. If you know someone who needs a developer, please send them my resume.

Thanks!

Today I registered to attend the History of Programming Languages Conference (HOPL-III) in San Diego. This will be my first academic conference, and I can't wait! AppleScript, Lua, Modula 2, Oberon, Erlang (!), Self, Haskell and much more. :-)

June is going to be crazy.

I leave for San Francisco on Wednesday, June 6th, arriving the 7th (I'm driving). On Friday evening I fly to San Diego for HOPL-III, and return Sunday night. Monday through Friday (the 15th) is WWDC. On Saturday or Sunday, driving back to Victoria, returning on the 17th or 18th.

Gulp!
