Testing BlogJet
0I have installed an interesting application – . It’s a cool Windows client for my blog tool (as well as for other tools). Get your copy here:
I caught the tip from , hadn’t heard of the tool before, so thought I’d check it out given my issues installing .
Disappointed that it is a 30 day trial, the full version is €29.95. I will give it a try and let you know what I think before splashing out!

Welcome to the astonishing world of classic wooden sailing boats
Just for posterity
0I just updated my about page, and cut this section out, as it didn’t feel relevant anymore, though I thought it’d be nice to keep as a reminder of why this all started!
Objectives
The main aim of this blog – apart from finally registering my domain name – is to give me some focus in my thoughts and opinions on what I see, hear and read relating to the IT industry generally, and my areas of special interest in particular. I enjoy writing, but am largely out of practice and it is something I would like to improve.
I don’t pretend to gain much of a voice, particularly as part of the vocal Lotus blogging community, where I have been a long-time lurker. I have gained much from the incredible depth and breadth of experience to be found out there, and while it would be nice to be able to give something back one day, I’m making no promises!

0- @Soulsailor what better to do on the commute for a sailing geek!
- need to reboot, my laptop isn’t docking properly this morning, I have no keyboard or mouse… :-/
- the reboot worked, so a slightly belated good morning to the twitterverse!
- @chieftech I know what you mean, but I do like the convenience for external keyboard & mouse, plus two screens
- finding the speed and low RAM concumption of Firefox 3b5 to be enough to make it my default browser, wasn’t getting enough out of Flock
- I have issues editing posts on my #wordpress blog, wp-admin is responsive, just doesn’t want to let me edit, anyone have any ideas on a fix?
- kicking off a new internal wiki space..
- Firefox 3b5 just vanished in a puff!!!
- forget that, the wiki seems to be down
- @stuartmcintyre LOL! kinda! but doesn’t it add to the "ambient intimacy"!?
- @chuckstar76 don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty impressed with FF3b5 so far, very quick, and some nice new touches
- @pjnet Retweeting @094459 re your previous discussion on communities
- @elsua hey some of are interested, just need to find myself a Mac!
- @pjnet you’re welcome!
- @jowyang I visited recently, just the SW corner, wandered up to the John Lennon memorial, but don’t remember seeing one police car
- @monkchips so you didn’t get it translated? would something to do with "scribbles" be in context?
- @pjnet I’d recommend FeedDemon if you want a client feed reader
- A quick "hola" to my latest followers @robsmart and @garethj Thanks for bearing with us! Now I’m off to fill my belly.
- @SteveRichards would love to hear more on your mobility strategy work, given my focus of late on mobile apps and Blackberry
- @pmooneynet got to be bad, its an M$ product!
But on the other hand those office licenses over the years should entitle us all to one! - @Phigment then you’ll feel for us in Europe, it was 1.22€ a liter here yesterday, I’ll let someone else work out the gallon thing
- @creckling LOL! Great idea, will have to remember that one, though my bundle of fun might not wait until she’s 5!

- Settling down to watch the UEFA Cup final. Good luck Rangers!
- @duffbert thanks for the conversions! So in Spain we’re paying nearly double! In the UK I know its even more expensive!
