We try to dogfood here at Black Marble so I’m writing this on my HTC TYTN. How? With Richard’s new app
Community Launch Events
A big thanks to everybody who came to the Server 2008 launch event last week. Andy and myself had a great time presenting to such an enthusiastic crowd. In the end we ran long because of the amount of dialogue around the new features of Server 2008 and I hope everyone went away having got something useful.
Now I need to reduce the two hours of material down to a perky 45 minutes for delivery at the VBug-hosted launch event on April 30th. Richard is there too, and Iain is also speaking, making up the triumvirate. It’s my first non-Black Marble community event and I’m quite looking forward to it.
Hats off, lads
Just seen the sad news of the passing of Arthur C. Clarke. The world was better for his having been in it, and will not be the same without him.
Taking time to enjoy the scenery
You know, the thing about RSS is that it’s a bit like the advent of the motor car - you miss things. Just as driving around means you don’t get to pass the time of day with folk, or discover that tiny little deli you’d never notice from the road, RSS dehumanises the web.
For example, I subscribe to the blog of my good friend Nick Smith. Since he hasn’t posted about his new redesign, I didn’t know about it. Which is a shame, because I like it - it puts me in mind of Tim Burton’s animations with it’s tendril-like curves.
