We stayed here this weekend. It was a very elegant leap back to an earlier era of living, and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a british-seaside-family-holiday-experience.

"Although mobile and XHTML now connects to everything a lot of the technology is proprietary and therefore difficult to integrate. Patents get in the way of everything and block the view," he said. Watch it get left behind by wireless VOIP.

Excellent. It's fascinating watching the process of time turn people my parent's generation regarded as dross gradually being elevated to Dickens' status (or better, hopefully, I am not actually a Dickens fan).

The graphic on this page is truly chilling as a vision of how the internet could work soon if we allow "net neutrality" to be framed as disallowing class-of-service rather than ensuring all end-points are accessible.

I've decided to fix my sleep patterns. Watch out for me saying "no" to your late meeting or early morning flight. Nothing personal, I just want to survive.

A bit early to be calling these shots since Symphony is just the existing Notes editing features made standalone (hence the huge resource requirements). Best to stick to OO.o for now, but IBM's contributions as they grow here are welcome.

Wait a minute..."But the risk was similar for those who increased to at least eight hours." I thought that 8 hours of sleep was the accepted gold standard? Surely they must be talking about British hours vs. US hours. :)

Forgive me for being cynical but IBM must have been kicking itself royally when OOo2 was released under a single license after they wandered off with the old 1.1.X code using the permissiveness of the old SISSL license. One could be led to the conclusion that the sudden "embracing" of OOo is an admission that their policy over the Workplace fork was flawed. One wonders how much further ahead the new Lotus would be if they had joined the community 2 or three years ago.
However I'm quite happy to go "tut-tut, let's not be a naughty girl again" and welcome them home. :)
Yo
