Show 58 features an interview with Thomas \u201ccmdln\u201d Gideon.\xa0 To paraphrase the walrus from Lewis Carrol\u2019s Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There 'it was time to talk of many things: of shoes and ships - and sealing wax - of cabbages and kings.\u201d\xa0 It was a wonderful interview with the promise of more.Thomas Gideon, also known by his nickname, \u201ccmdln\u201d has been programming professionally for over a decade and hacking around with computers of many varieties for most of his life. I would suggest that not only is cmdln a technologist but a philosopher as he has meta-interests beyond just the technology itself.These include the history of computing and hacker culture. Programming requires a very particular way of seeing problems and solutions. Secondly is an interest in how computing technology is actually changing our society, for good or ill. He suggests that computer technology is definitely changing the way we do the things we already do while enabling wholly new things. Cmdln blogs his thoughts and findings at the site, \u201cThe Command Line.\u201d\xa0\xa0 He also has a regular podcast discussing not only these issues, but episodes and aspects of the practice and profession of programming. And I quote \u201cNot to mention any other stories or ideas related to technology that I find equally fascinating.\u201dContact information:Email: feedback [at] thecommandline [dot] netWebsite: Tell a friend about the Software Process and Measurement Cast and show them how to subscribe.\xa0 Let me know and I will acknowledge you on the next show! \xa0The essay is short (12 words) and talks about relevance and irrelevance.\xa0 Here too more promised in the futureJoin the SPaMCAST\u2019s community by joining the SPaMCAST Facebook page and get involved!!!!\xa0 http://tinyurl.com/62z5elThere are a number of ways to share your thoughts with SPaMCAST: \u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0 Email SPaMCAST at spamcastinfo@gmail.com\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0 Voice messages can be left at 1-206-888-6111\u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0 Twitter \u2013 \u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0 BLOG \u2013 \u2022\xa0\xa0\xa0 FACEBOOK!!!!
