main bit This page looks very fancy in a modern browser, with "stylesheets" and "layout" and thing, but frankly I prefer the way you're seeing it here. Congratulations for not crumbling to the Browser Upgrade Initiative! Support the Web Designer Downgrade Conclusion!

drink? snacks?

I've been online, thinking and talking all week, in one way or another, but I don't seem to have kept a record of any of it. I don't have any notes, didn't take any photographs, didn't update any wikis, and didn't even send out much email (I did, however, spend too much time in IRC, which is never a good sign of anything). What makes that worse is that much of my time was spent discussing how to tech-transfer knowledge out of real world conferences like Emerging Tech to a wider audience online.

To be honest, Emerging Tech suffers from this the least: much of the thinking that occurred here has already spilt out into the wider world via various blogs. Lisa Rein videod a lot of the talks, and will be uploading them to the Internet Archive . And compared to say, Asilomar, which was on this week, and is one of those super-secret invitational conferences where everything is off the record and they kill anyone who even menti-urgh urgh thunk, ETCON is a veritable fountain of openness. And I think benefits no end from that.

Anyway, we swapped out live blogging to make room for baby-tending and party-organising. Fortunately, others were there.

moon transit of ISS

This is one of those shots they should sneak into the beginning credits of Enterprise .

don't preach

Madonna floods the P2P networks with an MP3 of her saying "What the fuck do you think you're doing?". To quote the Wombles, making good use of the things that we find.

my god it's full of microstars

My back yard is filling up with people.Ben's here, Phil (off of Samuel Pepys and the Craig of Haddock), and Gavin, my old flatmate and major webcasting genius. Matt and Fiona also came by but we chased them away. Get orf my land!

I'm still feeling a bit guilty I didn't update panopticon for this year. But I just saw a sneak preview of a demo Ludicorp is doing for Emerging Tech that would have knocked anything I could have done into a cocked hat. Hooray for the Lazyweb!

(Quinn points out that this entry reeks of "peppy happy danny". A very good sign I should go to bed and sleep until I'm grumpy again.)
