Blogtalk
It seems my proposal for the Blogtalk conference in Vienna has been accepted. Very good. Hopefully there will be WLAN available so that people in the audience can blog while attending the conference. Looking forward to it.

Skimming the news about ground battle of the »coalition of the unwilling« I more and more come to the conclusion that there is no real plan for Baghdad.

America’s Image Further Erodes
People-Press.org: »Anti-war sentiment and disapproval of President Bush’s international policies continue to erode America’s image among the publics of its allies. U.S. favorability ratings have plummeted in the past six months in countries actively opposing war – France, Germany and Russia – as well as in countries that are part of the “coalition of the [...]

Misconceptions
Lots of chatter going on about if the military strategy of the “house of cards” turns out to be right or wrong. What was wrong are the armchair so called “security advisors” that still don’t get why the »Ministery of Defense« is not called »Ministery of Offense«. Here is what Richard Perle said not too [...]

Reality & Real time
I can receive MSNCB Europe and CNN Europe on my TV. Sometimes at nighttime there is FoxNews (which I don’t want to see at all). There has been talk about if the »embedded journalists« make sense. I recognized it when I was in New York on 9/11: the majority of the US public does take [...]

OmniGraffle GUI Design Palette
This is really cool: »This OmniGraffle palette can be used for general GUI design. I’ve tried to make it vanilla enough for platform independance although you can see some Mac OS X and Swing peeking out.«

12′inch PowerBook
Yesterday I had the first chance to examine the 12″ inch PowerBook. It is really very well designed. There are little glitches in the production of it (small gaps that are wider on one side than on the other), but generally it feels much more solid than my 1st generation 15″ inch PowerBook. I wonder [...]

Supporting weblog research
Wil Wheaton points to a survey of bloggers being conducted as part of a thesis investigation at Georgetown University. It appears to be a fairly well thought out survey with a good variety of demographic and behavioral questions about blogging. Though I have a few criticisms of the survey (the caps on the choices numbers [...]

NewsAggregator
I just checked out the new newsaggregator feature of Manila – and it seems I can’t make much use of it. The most important issue (somewhat typical for Userland): I can’t design the result page (no template) and it is English only. The site managers can’t extend the feeds they can subscribe to. I don’t [...]

NoteTaker
After following a post from Dave Winer about NoteTaker I tried that application. It may be true that Scott Love is a capacity on outliners, but he does not seem to be a capacity on user interfaces. NoteTaker has a somewaht deterrent user interface.

Flash Remoting for PHP
»Flash remoting for PHP enables objects in PHP to become objects in actionscript, almost magically! AMF-PHP takes care of all the data-type conversions, serialization, and other client-server details.
