Steven Woes III: Fixed. Bing. Now I need to update your link on the right.

Predictions revisited: My prediction for 2003 is something I wrote about here. I predict (drum-roll) that Microsoft will (at least) announce (a) product(s) for Linux. Bets?

Blogging abroad: I've just found Armin's site for expats and asked to be added. (via Russell).

Emerging Technology: Steve has submitted a talk for ETCon 2003. I did as well - on the subject of aggregating business data as RSS.

Steven woes II: Weblogs rule! Just a few minutes after my posting I get a mail from Scott Hanson explaining the problem! There is a thread on the problem here. Thanks Scott!

Predictions: Lots of predictions around about what's in store for 2003. Guido makes some comments on the mobile and TV world and what may happen there this year. At least I got round to reading Smart Mobs while on vacation. Lots of insight into what may be next in there. One of the most interesting parts (although not new to us Cocoon-addicts) was the mention of the fact that more and more devices will be equipped with web servers and accessible over the net using just a browser. Add some form of Cocoon to that web server and you have a miniature platform that can serve whatever format you need - not just HTML.

Steven woes: Steven has migrated over to Moveable Type. This means I can no longer read his weblog. Using Internet Explorer 6 (on my PC) the lines are not broken and I have to scroll horizontaly (which is no fun). Bah. Looks slightly better in Mozilla - but there is still a scroll bar accross the bottom - what gives?

Online Paradox: If you can't get online - how do you find out how to get online? While on vacation I wanted to get online using my iBook and my T68i connected via bluetooth to the Apple. Trouble was that the T68i wasn't in the list of supported bluetooth modems - and I had no idea what I needed to do to get it to work (I still don't). And as I couldn't get online to find more information - I was stuck. From what I have just pulled from google - it seems to be possible, so there you go.

Back: Hi there! We're back after our weeks vacation in search of the snow. And we didn't find any! Unfortunately. Most of Southern Germany and the Alps have been "hit" with a lack of snow, while the rest of the country seems to be drowning. Luckily we still found enough for the kids to do and I was able to get some reading done. Meanwhile, lots to catch up on.....
