For some weird reason I can’t see some files and folders on my FTP server using Cyberduck.
I know the files exist…
It seems there’s a date-related bug
Happy leap day!
I enjoyed this talk by Bill Cockayne:
Last Saturday I met the elusive and mysterious Mlle A. at a coffee place* in Hannover.
Once or twice during the conversation there was a cross-reference to something I or Mlle. A. had written or linked to. And for me that’s one of the powerful side-effects of blogging: there’s a regular reader’s familiarity built over […]
At work we use cvs and subversion for version control, light years better than Visual SourceSafe.
I’m trying to extend my active command line knowledge of cvs and svn… Remember I’m a low and humble marketer / content developer / writer.
Regular commands I use:
cvs update
cvs commit -m “message” filename
cvs tag -F “tagname” filename
cvs update -dPr tagname […]

Saw the Helen Levitt show at the Sprengel Museum today. I liked it very much and can recommend it.

Stumbled across this blog post:
It’s really easy to insist that people read the friggin manual. It’s really easy to blame the user/student/prospect/customer for not trying hard, for being too stupid to get it or for not caring enough to pay attention. Sometimes (often) that might even be a valid complaint. But it’s not helpful.
good quote:
In a pre-web world, marketing was synonymous with advertising; today, the customer is active and has true recourse.

After upgrading to Leopard, I could no longer launch Gimp or GimpShop.
There’s a quick fix for Gimp, for help see this screencast.
But GimpShop is a different matter
it seems.
I liked this velo poster… in Geneva.
I noticed a new website on Malawi: http://malawiweb.net/
Upgraded my MacBook to Leopard overnight. Looks like everything went well.
A friend and I went for a Probetraining (free trial session) at one of the fitness centers close to work.
This is just a quick note to say that we’ve launched the evaluation process.
useful comparison (for future reference):
Blogs vs. Email
Here’s a Lift talk by Genevieve Bell that I enjoyed:
Here are some of my Lift 08 notes, pêle-mêle:
This year I tried to provide a running commentary on Twitter. Unfortunately the wifi was patchy and a number of valuable text snippets were lost… I got one Tweet response - all the way from Malawi - that appreciated my effort.
I tuned in to the […]

At the Lift 08 fondue I sat next to the developer of an open-source community tool called YACS:
YACS, le CMS Open Source 2.0 - Yet Another Community System
It uses PHP, MySQL and Apache. And from what I understood it is being used in a large international organization to build up a knowledge management system without […]
