From a recent PPIG Discussion:

Frank: “Welcome to this meeting of self-talkers anonymous. Why don’t we
let the newcomer introduce himself? First names only, now.”
Frank: “Er, yes. My name is ‘Frank’, and I talk to myself.”
Frank: “Hello, Frank, nice to meet you.”
Frank: “Hey, Frank.”
Frank: “Just before we start, does anyone know where the bathroom is?”
Frank: “You’re not just looking for a mirror, are you? You know the rules.”
Frank: “Er…”
Frank: “It’s okay, Frank, it’s why I’m all here.”

The Israeli Centre for clean production operates a trash-trade board. The tagline is “your waste is someone else’s material”. Brilliant.

Web2.0 is apparently the hypest hype in the hypeshpere. So be it. But as always, the interesting stuff is not the technology – its what you can do with it. And here’s an example. I haven’t written one line of code here. What I did is took three resources other people have made and connected them. What do I get? A personalized, online, desktop and productivity suite. To think some poeple would have you pay for that!

Now the fun really begins when you can slip  one guy’s interface over the other’s application to manage everybody’s data. As in this calendar of London. Using iWebCal to interface upcoming.org.

I like this guy. I don’t know him, but I like him. I mean, with a tagline like that, can you not?

Besides, he’s doing some cool wed2.0ish stuff.

In response to a question on the role of open source software in Africa, Gerald Ilukwe, the general manager of Microsoft Nigeria, said that cost is not important, even though he admitted that the average annual salary in the West African country is only $160 (£91).

Microsoft: Africa doesn’t need free softwareIngrid Marson, ZDNet UK

They say trining is the main issue. Right. So all the developing world bloggers have an MS certification. The article also finds it funny, especialy in light of free & open grassroots African learning initiatives.

It’s science if it’s refutable. it’s social science if it’s debatable.
