Blogging from the Road

Things are moving along in sunny Lincoln. They need rain here, though. Getting my transition plan in place. Finally nailed down a schedule for final site visits with vendors and have a schedule for sending all the pertinent contracts, audits, and miscellany to the new team.

Didn't get to review Manila. Bummer. The Manila guy here took off for vacation. I was really looking forward to getting a peek under the hood and asking some questions from someone who has been a Manila site admin. Found a few blogs that look interesting this week. Dan Rosenbaum at Over the Edge has made a couple of recommendations, as well. I haven't had time to check them out but will do so later and post accordingly.

Found BookNotes for fans of traditionally produced books. Craig has a background in library book binding -- an area that I really enjoy and don't know nearly enough about. Bindery is still plagued by quality problems in the demand-driven production world. Craig's from my home state -- Texas. Maybe I should give him a call sometime.

Also found this site by Mark Bernstein, Chief Scientist at Eastgate Systems and creator of a Macintosh hypertext tool, TinderBox. Weblog is mostly personal stuff, but has a separate blog for TinderBox. Mark has an amusing quote on his site:

"You'd think the purpose of a roof is to keep rain off the television." -- Bob Frankston, on the net industry's fixation on entertainment.

I need to look up Bob Frankston. Mark's site pointed me to elegant hack, a site on information architecture run by Christina Wodtke. Seems pretty good. She reviewed 3,600 sites for a C/Net award panel, and seems to have done lots of web design for a variety of art nouveau dot.com design firms.

Another privacy blog -- Privacy Parts. Haven't spent much time viewing it. No insight into how useful it is. Just listed it so I wouldn't forget. We'll see.

Picked this up from Steve Pilgrim:

SHOWING MY IGNORANCE
What's the difference between a VPN and an Intranet?

Paolo is covering Intranets. What are the big picture differences between intranets and VPN's?

I'm writing something about how Intranets are developing, and I made a few drawings to better illustrate the concept. Maybe somebody is interested... [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]

Has a nice group of set theory-style pics showing how Intranets sprout KLogs. And Paolo's site points to RadioTools, a site that has some interesting tools; RSSDistiller will let you create RSS fees from web sites (like WhatTheyThink.com) and RemoteEdit will do an out-and-back conversion of Radio Templates to HTML pages so you can edit in standard editors. Doesn't look like either program has been updated in a while. I'll test next week. Hope I don't blow anything up.
