NFTCP draft
On April 1st, 2006 after a short period of study, together with some friends we published the draft for a new optimized version of TCP, called “No Frills”.
Here you can find the html and txt version of the RFC:
* HTML version
* Text version (local), or on s0ftpj site
These two files have been generated from an XML source with the excellent xml2rfc package, available from here. The whole process of editing (and troubleshooting) the XML source has been instructive and… interesting.
Please pay attention to the release date before making comments. :)

Sterling e il design
Bruce Sterling parla del suo anno come Visionary in Residence all’ Art Center College of Design a Pasadena.
Selected quotes:
First: if people call you a visionary, you become one immediately. It’s like becoming a pope. The transition is swift and relatively painless. It’s an unlikely job, but it has to happen to somebody.
[…]
My duties were light: they consisted mostly of high-velocity preaching. Preaching is a vice. It’s worse for writers than drink. I dote on it anyway. Just now I’m in top design-preaching form. You could tap me like a beer barrel, and I’ll emit a fizzing, foaming sermon on digital interactivity and sustainable-design practice. I can go on for days.
Solo gli americani potevano inventare un titolo come “Visionary in Residence”. E` un po’ come Java Evangelist.
