Business Two Zero

Last week the CEO of Twinfield, Andre Kwakernaat, was over with me visiting various practices and potential partners.  He was showing off his new, healthily configured Dell Latitude D520 with Vista Business and Office 2007.  The interface looked very slick - almost as good as a Mac.  The performance in terms of documents loading or […]

Thanks to Jeff for pointing out that IdeaExchange has arrived at Salesforce.com.  It’s an open forum where Salesforce.com customers can suggest new product concepts, promote favourite enhancements, interact with product managers and other customers, and preview what they are planning to deliver.  You don’t need a Salesforce account to browse ideas and comments posted on […]

Last night’s London Wiki Wednesday was quite a success.  About 40 people packed in to a room that was really only intended for about 25, but that just made it all a bit more friendly and fun.  My thanks to Philip Woodgate of Goodman Jones for providing the room and the food, and Daren Oliver […]

Stewart Mader of Atlassian has pointed us to their latest resource to help you in making your wiki a success - Wikipatterns.   It’s not intended to be an instruction manual, but it is a good set of tools.  It’s examples of techniques that have helped people, and of situations that people have found themselves in […]

Actually this is a “two for the price of one” post.  It’s about Teqlo, but it’s also about the movie intro that Rod Boothby put together. Teqlo is at the forefront of a new type of application, including Yahoo Pipes and others,  where end users can put together their own applications and mashups without any knowledge […]

Where have I heard that before?  Over at Dennis’s place he’s done a piece on education standards inspired by a Tom Raftery rant, and maybe a little rant of my own when I was on Skype phone with Dennis the other day.   I believe we have a major problem in the West because our education […]

Over at Dennis’s place he has a measured critique of Sage In:Touch, a new site which purports to be providing information and inspiration for business.  Dennis skyped me and we had a good tour of the site together.  I have to say I am completely underwhelmed.    I agree with Dennis that the style is sterile.  […]

Back last year I blogged about Jeff Han’s multi-touch screen project.  He’s formed Perceptive Pixel to develop the project.  Thanks to Craig, via Twitter, here is the latest demo of where your screen and keyboard should be heading:   Technorati Tags : Jeff+Han, interface, ergonomics, keyboard, mouse, NYUPowered By Qumana

After Tom introduced me to Twitter earlier this week I’m going to test it out for a few weeks to see if it’s any use to me, beyond the curiosity of “eavesdropping” on the lives of the blogging and alpha geek communities.  Nosing around the various Twitter pages I can see a lot of the […]
