News tonight for developers

Come back tonight at a little after 9 p.m. Pacific Time tonight.

Some big multi-billion-dollar corporation would like to announce something.

Why?

Developers, developers, developers!

:-)

Like I said, Mix07 is gonna be interesting and, no, I don’t need to be inside the conference to have a front-seat position on the battlefield.

UPDATE: the news is now up.

    I’ve said plenty nice about Microsoft since I left Microsoft too. You must have missed the several nice interviews I’ve done with them. You must have missed that at the Web 2.0 Summit I said Microsoft did the demo of the year http://robertscobleizer.com/2006/11/10/demo-of-the-year-photosynth/ . You must have missed that I gave the Zune a pretty nice review http://robertscobleizer.com/2006/10/26/my-thoughts-about-zune-vs-ipod/ considering and praise my Xbox all the time. Not to mention I was in the Wall Street Journal defending Microsoft in December. http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB116490323676636989-HnHPKLzkyy9xKy2wnokbd2bc_bE_20071130.html

    Hell, just go back to last week and watch the Electric Rain interview I put up. http://www.podtech.net/scobleshow/technology/1456/editors-choice-electric-rains-standout-presentation-application Or the Thirteen23 demo I put up. http://www.podtech.net/scobleshow/technology/1422/thirteen23-demo-with-scoble-at-sxsw That’s a preview of the kind of stuff you’ll see at Mix. Or a demo of Digipede, .NET grid tech that’s pretty cool. http://www.podtech.net/scobleshow/technology/1429/demo-of-building-a-grid-with-digipede

    You also must have missed the TechFest tour I did with Kevin Schofield. http://www.podtech.net/scobleshow/search/Kevin+Schofield or the Interview with Sanaz Ahari of Microsoft’s Live.com team: http://www.podtech.net/scobleshow/technology/1298/meet-microsoft-livecoms-sanaz-ahari

    My guess is it’s something with Google Apps. I only guess this because of the emails being sent out to Google Apps users warning of the Google Apps Calendar downtime scheduled for Thursday.

    Direct Outlook syncing would be great, and would make Robert happy about having to use Google Calendar.

    Since Scoble says it regards “Developers! Developers! Developers!”, I’m thinking it’s something other than Google Apps, or Google anything.

    I’d guess it’s a Microsoft thing, since “Developers! Developers! Developers!” is Ballmer’s trademark. ;)

    For us mac users, Panic just released a cool app called Coda.
    It puts all the tools necessary to develop/maintain web sites, etc in one window.
    Very clean design.

    Rocky, I need ELCO cables with TRS plugs for my adat machines. I only got XLRs with them.
    http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=009&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=190105121839&rd=1&rd=1
    I found some on ebay, but I can’t order them new here in Canada because ELCO cables are no longer being made. Musiciansfriend does not want to ship them to Canada, because they are special order.

    I only need 1 more ELCO snake for my 3 ADAT XT20′s.
    Do you know what online store I could buy it at?
    It’s not that I don’t like computer recording. I have an RME hammerfall with 24 tracks in ADAT optical, BUT, I enjoy having the actual machines there in the rack with the BRC before I dump it into the computer.

    I can no longer use XLRs and I really need 1 more ELCO to TRS to hook up to my console. Any info is appreciated, thanks.

    No demos. It’s got to be an interview about some sort of SaaS stuff - maybe the democratizing the web thing. IL targetting JavaScript.

    http://www.fullcompass.com/search.php?search_simple=true&txtAll=ELCO

    These won’t work with ADATs.
    There’s one up on ebay but the ELCO adapter is female.
    Musiciansfriend just refuses to ship special order to Canada. They will only do in stock.

    What I will have to end up doing is buying another used ADAT XT20 on ebay and just take the ELCO cable and resell the machine. Otherwise I may have to wait ages for one with a male ELCO to show up there.

    Thanks for trying though.

    If your lead involves getting one for $50 or something please share, because I would still be interested.

    I purchased this RME card to go along with the stanford http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/

    I could have just lined everything in directly with 3 cheap AD/DA converters, but not having recorders or the BRC anymore just takes away from the recording whole experience. The more LEDs the better.

    That should read the “whole recording experience”.

    I’m going to buy another ADAT next week if I can’t find just the cable, so if you have a lead, let me know before then. Somebody may have an old ELCO/TRS cable lying around collecting dust and I would so pay $50-60 for it plus shipping because I need it.
