» Thingamy Founder On Bloatware Versus Enterprise 2.0 from alarm:clock euro
While our Windows PC was loading our Word application this morning, a lengthy process, we had time to read Sigurd Rinde’s blog. He’s the entrepreneur behind Thingamy, an application development too targeting business aplications. Based on recent blog ... [Read More]

Header disclaimer
- Merely for the humour challenged: Running all of Germany on one instance of thingamy (yep, 30 Mb is correct more or less) would be a "slight" exaggeration... at least you'd need some serious heavy duty hardware behind it ;)

However, I can at least find a download link for the zune thingamy.
For your thingamy, a link to any sort of trial or test or hands on experience sort of test drive, is well, unavailable (still).
So comparing the size of an actual download to a non-existent download as a means of self-back-patting is a bit much for me.
and i'm a fan of yours.
am i missing something?
(besides a link to any sort of thingamy download?)
you're faqs mention somewhere that your on version 2.xxx and a commercial beta is coming "real soon now"
Well maybe it can "run Germany" but that's starting to sound a bit old and irritating, for those of us who have only your stories to read and look at.
It's GREAT!
It's POWERFUL!
It doesn't exist anywhere you can actually see it!
but we got this video ....
bit of a discord, that.
so i'm going to hit reload on my patience module, and re-initialize my wait state with some values set to emulate higher tolerance.

Charles, ouch! But you're spot on of course...
Hmm, OK here's the deal, you asked for it, in five minutes you'll have per mail the URL/username/password to the latest builds - bugs and all, always latest.
So do not blame me when frustration hits or your headscratching becomes annoying to your environment! :D
Hehe, OK, reality is kind-of-simple - we have a group of testers with high bug-threshholds, of which you're now an official member.
The system is meant to run on a server, not really a "consumer product" to say the least (for the system administrator/builder). Thus I do not think we'll ever release for free download, only one-on-one. But I can be convinced that is a dumb idea of course ;)

I guess I sort of knew you would step up to stand behind your words, and so I will too.
Happy to get a hands-on test drive. This learning shark is on the hunt.
Problem-solving is my middle name (and my second middle name too)
Can't promise I won't scratch my head, but I'll do my best to transduce that into some sort of user-ful info stream.
w00t! Christmas time!
Thanks for being who you are.

Except you need an OS to run Thingamy on, and that right there will already take you way beyond 22 MB. ;-)
I'm all for hype, but saying you can run Microsoft on Thingamy is so far from true that it's comical. You may as well be saying you can feed the world with a package of pop tarts.

Anthony, if I skip the help files I would have 9 Mb leaving 12 Mb for the server OS to beat the MS patch (note: patch)... hmm kernel, ssh, tar, gzip, devfsd, fdisk, fsck, mkfs, mount/unmount, modprobe, insmod, lsmod, etc... counting, counting... could be, could be :)
Ah yes, when obviously exaggerating it's meant to be self-mocking, absurd, funny and.. ah, yes, comical! Now I'll go run Germany...
