I made a message board for our class here:

Kind of like the one some of us used for LFSC. I'm hoping it'll catch on, so we can have a better place to discuss everything.

the above site has a lot of cool essays about software. I also like Joel Spotsky's "The law of leaky abstractions" which is mentioned in Dreaming in Code.

I guess it was just a matter of determining how long Mitch Kapor's patience would last, since he has enough money to fuel a dead project for a loooonnnggggg time.

He fed Chandler and the Open Source Applications Foundation for six years on the premise that it would deliver a mind-blowingly innovative PIM (personal information management) suite.

Six years later, Chandler just blows.

OSAF announced this week that Kapor is leaving and taking his funding with him. It's about time.
