  1. The Poetics of Space: Amazon.co.uk: Gaston Bachelard: Books: Looks like an interesting book on space, and the r.. http://bit.ly/73YigD
  2. Listening to http://blip.tv/file/2876109 - PiTiVi is pronounced "Pee Tee Vee", not "Pitty Vee" or "Pitty Vie". Name change needed, maybe?
  3. Pet hate of the day: Android auto-correct spell-chack replaces Il with I'll - fine, if I wasn't writing French.
  4. @federicomena Apparently it comes from "The Poetics of Space", by Gaston Bachelard: http://is.gd/53roy
  5. Lyon's Fête des Lumières has a new website (Flashalicious :( ) http://is.gd/53mrl
  6. Disappointed but unsurprised to see the GIMP finally dropped from the Ubuntu CD: http://is.gd/53mH3 It's been coming a while.
  7. Can someone recommend a Netbook I can get off the shelf, for Moblin use, that will work as-is? Something under €400 preferably.
  8. @natfriedman These are called "Paths of Desire" by architects. Nice example here: http://is.gd/52Fgd @federicomena probably knows more.
  9. @ThierryThomas I guess that means GNOME dominates the graphical desktop market then?
  10. RT @storming: GNOME Asia 2008 was one of the top 3 open source conferences in China according to the govt. #gnomeasia
  11. I like the new RT button on Twitter, by the way. Lucky beta user <grin>
  12. When people talk about fragmentation of mobile Linux, they mean no-one dominates (yet). And VLC the dominant media player? On what planet?
  13. http://is.gd/4ZFgU "Within the open-source market... VLC dominates media players... Android dominates mobile operating systems" - huh?
  14. @leisa Others: Google Reader, Stumbleupon, Magnolia (unfortunately dead), Social Marker
  15. @leisa Facebook? If you think of "social bookmarking" being "saving and sharing links".
  16. Working on principle today. Don't like holidays celebrating military victories. We should replace 11 Nov and 8 May with one "Peace Day".
  17. Coincidental that I put this http://is.gd/4RLT6 up the day I discover Scott Berkun's "Confessions of a Public speaker": http://is.gd/4RLQa
  18. I'm not that happy about the soundtrack - lacks some rhythm & the spontaneity & adrenalin of being on stage.
  19. I got around to putting my "Giving Great Presentations" lightning talk online: http://bit.ly/1WH5ew #maesum
  20. Ubuntu 9.10 upgrade - so far, a couple of annoying issues - noise on the sound card, and I lost my scanner (again). #ubuntu
