Open source - have you missed the boat? An O'Reilly article on the subject of the increased interest in open source.

BoatBlogging: Mum has just returned from a long weekend "on a boat". Before she went, I suggested she take her laptop with her and write down some entries she could then post when she got back. Very Good! Here's a teaser: I keep forgetting where my stuff is! I have 2 bags with me, including the laptop’s and I thought it would be easier to keep all the small things in the bags so I wouldn’t lose anything in the teeny tiny cupboards that abound.Well, I lose stuff in the bags too. Incredible how something inanimate travels overnight from one bag to the other. More here.

Venture Capitalist on Open Source: Excellent piece by David Hornik over on VentureBlog. "There can be little doubt that the influence of the open source movement on the overall high tech landscape will continue to grow and leave some bodies in its wake."

Editing HTML in Eclipse: Looking for an Eclipse Plugin that will help me edit HTML files (doesn't need to be perfect). Any ideas? Later: Thanks TomK.

Allergies: Nicolas (4) is allergic to mosquito bites. This means that when he's bitten, the bite swells up to the size of a small egg. Unfortunately he is often bitten several times. On one occasion last year - he had over 20. Last year we tried a set of herbal treatments, spraying the room every night, sticking an anti-mosquito device into the wall socket... This year we've bought a mosquito net to hang over his bed. Any other suggestions?

Cambridge bound: Guido is in the air somewhere on his way to Cambridge for OSCOM. Lots of interesting people are going and it's sure to be very interesting. Hopefully there will be some form of Net access there and Guido can report back :-). Other people I know are going: Sam, Dave. If you're looking for Guido - he'll be here at least.

Vienna trip: Some time ago I quoted the old song Vienna in my weblog. It now looks as though I will be going there at the end of June to do some Cocoon training. Hopefully I will also be able to attend the Cocoon Stammtisch which our Austrian Cocoon friends are planning.
