Because at 15 feet ... Cheney is even more irresponsible with a firearm.

I'll have to try TailRank, I have to say comparing Megite and Memorandum is very interesting too.

I'm thinking two engineers, a server, a large latte, and an order of spicy tuna rolls. ;-).

Or how about I'm going to move to a small Island in the Pacific and blog all day ... oh wait I'm already doing that ;-).

Re: Do blog networks need VC money?

Tris Hussey — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 13:04:15 -0000

Blog networks are pretty capital intensive operations ... the server costs must be immense. I agree, the discussions among the participants is probably going to be the most interesting part of the conference.

Geez, I'm going to have to put up the better picture of my desk! I'll send you a link to Flickr.

That would have been great! I know that they do that for Gnomedex ... man maybe I could have done it straight from my machine.

Dern ...

Yeah that pic was scanned from the newspaper. I was in an article about telework and blogging.

There is a better pic on Flickr.

Well, somebody's got to do it Mathew ;). Regardless it was an excellent conference. Very, very well organized.

I think it could be marked as a watershed (for me at least) in Web 2.0 ... I think the tough questions are started not only to be asked, but answered.

Re: Tim O’Reilly handles it well — almost

Tris Hussey — Wed, 31 May 2006 02:19:21 -0000

I agree Mathew. I noticed that you, Scoble, and I caught the part about how nasty the blogosphere got during this whole debacle.

I don't think I can comment on the trademark issues ... for conferences ... yes, Web 2.0 is now a meme and they have to live with that. I like the suggestion for creating something like a Creative Commons license for the mark ... again as far a conferences go. For the rest of us it's a concept ... maybe this will force another term or meme to bubble to the surface.

Dude, you must be just getting RSS transmitted directly to your brain if you can catch my comment on Toby's blog that freakin' fast.

Lorraine chided me for being up late last night, I told her it was your fault ;). Regardless, watching the whole flow of information last night was just amazing. Forget about RSS readers I was watching the shifting sands on Techememe, trackbacks, everything.

I think this is going to be held up as one of the examples of rapid news/information transmission of 2006. This is why this toolset and technology is so powerful, so world-changing. And when it comes down to it, it doesn't have as much to do with blogging as it does with the massive amounts of data inter-connectedness that we see now.

Just mind boggling (or mind bloggling?). My mind has a picture of the rapid connections going on and spreading. The transmission of information at such a rapid pace it isn't a spread, it's an explosion.

Again, all the best to you. If you can do for PodTech what you did for Microsoft. The sky is the limit.

Re: Great journalists call

Tris Hussey — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 20:38:17 -0000

Robert, you have a really good point. I have your cell ... could have called, but I didn't even think about it. Goes to show that if bloggers really want to be taken as credible, we need to start acting credible.

Re: Attensa getting my attention

Tris Hussey — Sun, 16 Jul 2006 22:26:52 -0000

Yeah I'm giving Attensa a go too ... what did it? The e-mail to the Gnomedex list to try it out. Okay and if you offer some good tips you might get a free copy.

Regardless I'm also really enjoying it and it seems to be helping me pour through feeds faster.

Re: Why CEOs should blog

Tris Hussey — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 16:57:57 -0000

I'm with Mathew on this one. Even a once a week update on a CEO blog is fine. It isn't about becoming an uber-blogger it's about engaging in conversation. I know that Bob Lutz has other people read and reply to comments (I also know he leaves comments sometimes as well).

For a CEO having the ability to just post via e-mail would deal with the time issue. The issue isn't drinking the Kool-Aid, it's seeing the changing face of corporate communications. Sure, it's early days, but CEOs need to get used to having a more public face.

I bet that when today's crop of bloggers become CEOs (we know some will), the CEO blog will just be an accepted part of a company's public persona.

Re: Desktop Blogging With Qumana

Tris Hussey — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 15:17:00 -0000

Well I hope that you don't revert back to the admin panel! Yeah the v2 of Q had pretty bad HTML output, we're much happier with this version. From other folks they've said that once you've used Q about 5 times you never turn back.

You're right about trying to support individual blog platform features, but Wordpress more is on the dev list.

Re: Pencils: The New Trendy Scribe Tool

Tris Hussey — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 16:22:38 -0000

I love pencils as well. Being a fountain pen nut I'm a little out there on the whole writing instrument thing. But the problem that I have with most pencils nowadays is that they are cheap. It is really, really hard to find good pencils. I tend to stick to mechanical pencils for that reason. The leads tend to be better quality. In fact my preferred instrument for editing papers is a pencil. My grad school advisor did that ... much kinder than red pen!

Yeah, no fountain pens ;-).

What's your experience been with memory and CPU load? I've used earlier versions of it and haven't been too impressed, but I'm willing to give it another try.

Another awesome post Glen! It proves to get the most out of a tool, you have to put some thinking into how to use it. I love the GTD application here.
