English or not
I ask myself if native English speakers ever wonder that it costs non-native speakers quite some effort to run an english weblog. Peter Baumgartner just posted some thoughts about this.

Groovy hen & egg
Groove Networks released version 3.0 of its application suite. Unfortunatly it only runs on Windows. Concerning the Mac version their FAQ says Right now, the vast majority of our customer and prospect base is Windows based. No wonder.

Outfoxed
When I was in New York on 9/11/2001 I was stunned by the news program FoxNews. US people know that program: I didn’t at that time. The only US program we see here is CNN Europe (which is very different from the US as I learned that time). Now it seems (some) Americans start to…

Stephanie Booth is reflecting on the experiment with writing a summary of a conference session as a group in SubEthaEdit (which allows users connected to one host to write together on a single text file; it looks like this -each user has a seperate color- and when finished the result can be published on a…

Notebook conferences
I remember when there was a discussion about “Notebook universities” in and around some universities in my area. They were supposed to conceptualize how they would utilize notebooks. These concepts were evaluated to decide which universities get funding for WLAN and Laptop equipment. If I remember correctly the concepts were usually not very inspired. Few…

BlogTalk 2.0 – live stream problems
BlogTalk 2.0 is just about to begin. I regret I couldn’t make it this year to the conference although I would be happy to contribute to the discourse and meet Mark Bernstein and the Trotts. So I was happy to see that there was a live stream prepared, but unfortunatly even the modem stream doesn’t…

Designed for authorship
Mark Bernstein posts a thumbnail of the way he takes notes on conferences. I was at last years BlogTalk trying to use my weblog to report. It didn’t really work: there was too much hassle fiddling with the software and not thinking about the words. I am using Tinderbox for some time now and it…
