Extraordinary Everyday Lives #043: Nick Lothian
kent, dave and mike regroup and talk to Nick Lothian from education.au about opensource, code and what’s being going on tech-wise in their lives since last time.
Some network oddities cause skype drop-outs and reconnects that happen during the show. I left them in because it’s funny…and I use the term Skypeosphere (of which currently google says there’s very few results)
Some points to be covered in rough chronological order:
- nickl in general (web2 spin) (nick.lothian on skype)
- cool stuff from/about nick
- sloppy science (? interested in Nick’s views on my plans for blogging about science research)
- openDSM in particular
- opensourcing software
- helping Trent - what would linus do? [what would lifekludger do?]
- flickr manager vs photodropper
- http://blog.openwetware.org/scienceintheopen
- ‘credit’ (or recognition/attribution for writing a popular wordpress plugin) is a promise of future work (very LearnDog)
- disposable identities

[...] Does it make sense to say that I got podcasted? [...]

[...] A couple of us at education.au have blogged previously on openDSM, our distributed search manager software that was released recently as open source and is housed on Google Code. If you would like to know more about this software, the problem areas that it addresses and the philosophy behind it and some of the work that we do, here is a really interesting podcast with the lead developer/architect, Nick Lothian. There is a great discussion on open source more generally too. [...]
