Just for all you folks who couldn’t make it out to MAX - here’s a peek at what Scorpio may be offering up for server monitoring. This is the presentation I gave at MAX, with voice over, but missing, alas, the live demos. It may take a little time to load because of all the audio, so do be patient.

Unlocking the ColdFusion Server Black Box

Take a look, and leave comments here in case you think there’s anything big that we’re missing.

Disclaimer: This feature is still under development and is subject to change. Consider this presentation to be a just a preview of something that may make it into Scorpio.

Looks like there are folks getting things done in the privacy space, especially with regards to standardizing privacy policies, something that I think would be a great enabler for business on the Net. My 2c: better, and more easily, informed consumers are happier consumers.

So I fired up my feed reader and started poring over posts from days gone by that I’d missed, and what do I find? Via Tim Bray, IBM suing Amazon over patent infringement. And what might the infringed patents be?

• Presenting Applications in an Interactive Service
• Storing Data in an Interactive Network
• Presenting Advertising in an Interactive Service
• Adjusting Hypertext Links with Weighted User Goals and Activities
• Ordering Items Using an Electronic Catalogue

WTF???

If this isn’t an argument for patent reform, I don’t know what is.
