No post this week
There won’t be a blog post this week since my daughter has decided that sleeping is optional for her. I have not been able to sit and write text during the evenings. I have coded a bit though and hopefully you will see the outcome of that next week.
My experience with Adobe Air
Adobe Air is a new software platform from Adobe which mixes JavaScript and Flash technologies to enable developers to make rich Internet applications that can run on desktop computers. It is remarkable in the world of proprietary applications in the sense that it has included Linux support early on.
My review of Twitter clients
I have used multiple Twitter client since I’ve first started using the service. The reason for that is that most of them are in fact pretty bad and it took me a while to find the set of Twitter client I can use at home, at work and on my mobile device, on Windows but mostly on Linux.
Twitter privacy levels
I have been a Twitter user for nearly one year now. It has been an generally pleasant experience. Microblogging is now part of my array my information tools, which also include: RSS (through Google Reader), Email, IRC. A more complete post about own I see Twitter as useful is something I need to do eventually.
Google Wave invites
Edit: … and we are done. There is no more invites left. Thank you.
Edit: There is only 1 invite remaining. I’ve given away 5 remaining invites to my Twitter friend @balty for a contest on his blog Les 2 Geeks (french). You can participate in his contest until November 14th. There is still 1 invite up for grab right now on this blog so grab it before I give them to somebody else.
I have received 8 Google Wave invites to give away. I know this is still in demand, but it seems everyone that was interested in Google Wave in my immediate cyber-vicinity already surfing the Wave.
So, I’m opening up my invites to the whole Internet and will give away a invite to the first 8 interested people that comments on this entry. Don’t forget to write a reachable email address.
I expect nothing in return but if want to spend a few minutes considering the rests of the posts on my blog, I’ll be grateful.
