Two interviews
I was live on the Jeff Farias show on Monday. You can hear it here. (I start at around the 88th minute.)
We talked for half an hour, at first about Cluetrain and then about some of the stuff in Everything Is Miscellaneous. I haven’t listened to it, but I enjoyed it.
Also, this week a Swiss newspaper, Sonntags Zeitung, ran an interview with me about cloud computing. That one is a bit more problematic. It’s a brief Q&A, boiled down from 20-30 minutes of talk, although it does not mention that. Inevitably, there are some places where I disagree a bit with the impression my abridged answers leave. That’s what happens. But it also has me saying some things that I’m quite sure I didn’t say. One in particular I feel a need to correct. The interview has me stating that it takes 4-5 times more computing power to deal with encrypted traffic (such as email) than with unencrypted. Not only don’t I know how much more computing power it takes, I know that I don’t know. So, I want to here put on “the record” that that estimate is unsubstantiated, and that I’m quite sure that that’s not what I said.
The journalist did offer to let me see the interview before he ran it, but I declined, primarily because, through a mutual misunderstanding, I thought I was only contributing an idea or two to an article — not a dedicated Q&A — about cloud computing.
David, on the Jeff’s page is the note but no interview.
There is no link on “here” in your post – so we can not hear it.
The “cloud computing” interview (at least in what I gathered via google translate from DE to EN) is quite strange, indeed.
With Jeff you talked about Cluetrain. I guess I already asked but did not get the answer – is there anywhere on the web any video/audio of the X anniversary event – that one at Berkman?
Thanks, Mirek. I’ve added an embedded player that might work.
