MobileMe design flaw

I’m an Apple Fan­boy, a switcher and a believer, but now I’ve had a nasty encounter with a flaw in the MobileMe ser­vice that is there by design. I’ve just been told that the engi­neers are aware of the issue and are work­ing to solve it. Basi­cally, it comes down to synch­ing with the cloud. All I want to do is push the cal­en­dar data in the MobileMe cal­en­dar to my omputer at home.... read more

The sense and nonsense of Twitter

You prob­a­bly know about Twit­ter, the so-called microblog­ging net­work. If you haven’t heard about it, don’t worry, you’re not miss­ing some­thing vital –I think. But I’m defi­nately not sure, and that is basi­cally what this post is about. I joined Twit­ter on july 18 2008, so at the writ­ing of this post, I’ve tweeted for 3 months. I joined because I wanted to try out the... read more

informatie moet stromen: semantisch web

NB: Dit artikel heb ik geschreven voor het pro­fes­sion­alis­er­ingsnetwerk IKKI, en is in zijn oor­spronke­lijke vorm terug te vin­den op de web­site van IKKI. IKKI is het zoveelse netwerk waar ik lid van ben, en waar ik een profiel heb staan. Mijn werk­er­var­ing en andere CV infor­matie staat ook op monsterboard.nl, werk.nl, werkenbijdeoverheid.nl, linkedin.com en in de ken­nis­bank op... read more
