- morning tweeps! back at the coal face and plenty to chip away at this morning!
- My Notes 8 toolbars really annoy me, they move, overlap, and generally don’t behave very well…
- @GrahamChastney LOL! I tend to let the tabs get out of hand in Firefox too!
- @chessasilva I don’t restart Notes often, but my toolbars seem to slop around, why can’t they just stick!!?
- @ssheppard maybe its a programmed title, if it were mine, would be corporate speak for my inbox being a mess, no other suitable word! LOL!
- @stuartmcintyre steady on, sounds like your stepping into propeller-head territory!
- thats me done for today, off to congratulate some friends on their new-born daughter who arrived into the world last night.

Last night I managed to find the 5 minutes I needed to upgrade four blogs to the .
Possible thanks to the excellent “one-click” install setup provided by .
Very quick and entirely painless, just how upgrades should be!
So unfortunately I can’t go into details on how I upgraded, there really is nothing more to tell!
For anyone who hasn’t already seen the video demo’ing the new version, here it is.
Now to learn about all the new features!

- morning all! No network this am, so camped in someone elses office while mail etc replicates
- network is back, though now got a blank white screen, only @twhirl is responsive!!
- hard reboot coming up
- @dahowlett I’m wishing the siesta was a reality! Rarely get one even at the weekends these days!
- a big “hola” to my latest followers @Phigment and @VicPodcaster
- @dahowlett I’m further north in Asturias, and yes, I know what you mean, will be heading south late August to be baked alive for a while!!
- @dahowlett We can all moan about the weather!! jan/feb this year were actually quite pleasant, while summer has only just arrived it seems!
- aarrrggghhh!! On a project call, and “white screen of death” hits again!
- Retweeting @bbctech: Regulators announce a crackdown on the cost of sending text messages on mobile phones within the EU. …
- @lekkim you trying to tempt fate re DDE!!?
- @stuartmcintyre would be interesting to know whether the AIR platform is capable of delivering something like a Sametime client
- @TomRaftery ooohh! the joys of everyday spanish life! Don’t know about Ireland, but banks here are at least 10yrs behind the UK….
- Installing Windoze updates, will have to reboot, so not much point doing much meanwhile…
- here comes the reboot….
- @yojibee Hola! Yep, human I’m afraid!
- @martinpacker for all the good things re Sametime, lightness isn’t currently one of them! No gripes, though, more curiosity
- @TomRaftery the spanish system is still so dependent on having a personal relationship with a branch mgr, to avoid ripoff charges etc
- @stuartmcintyre agreed, I’d say currently the Sametime client scores 2 out of 4.
- @lbenitez LOL! he’s not eating his feet yet then!?
- Retweeting @gialyons: What do you think? Jeremy Thomas posts: Confluence vs. Clearspace: Interesting thoughts re E2.0
- @aqualung yes, very. In my experience, the best wiki content is where people have had conversations…
- @alanlepo
- @lekkim enjoy Ubuntu!
- @grumpy_old_man yes, sorry, messed up posting to my blog, thankfully nothing exciting!
- @stuartmcintyre such cheek!! hey, I made no promises! ;-P
- @pedrorq @edbrill LOL! subtle difference between the spanish and portugese meanings!
- @cholsing you’ve reminded me I need to get back to that, initially hit issues with the 64bit version of Ubuntu 8.04
- @pedrorq nooo!! I just read it the same way he did, familiarity I guess!!
- @stuartmcintyre congrats on the wiki residency! Will be looking forward to that!
- Retweeting @twitter: Announcing search!: . Why?
- thought I’d forgotten my gmail password, was worried for a minute!
- upgrading wordpress blogs to 2.6
- all done! 4 blogs, 4mins, and about 16 clicks total, all thanks to Dreamhosts one-click installs, great stuff!
- @ferdy not much to say re the upgrades, my hosts Dreamhost make it too easy! It really is one-click to start, then a wp db upgrade, easy!

This caught my eye via google alerts, emphasis is mine.
In a perfect world, all email clients would render our designs the way we intended it to be. Seeing as how browser compatibility for the web is still some way off, email client standardization would be eons away from reaching display nirvana.Together with Outlook 2007, Lotus Notes is a very difficult email client to comply your designs with.
I left a comment explaining how Lotus Notes 8 is somewhat improved in this area.

- morning twitterverse, back to the daily grind after a fantastic and busy weekend….looks like summer might finally be here…!
- hola to my latest follower @ScottGentzen
- @vitorpereira thanks for making my week a misery before it barely starts!! enjoy!
- @GrahamChastney the wiki must be suffering from iPhone-like demand! ;-P
- @vitorpereira thx! and you’ll be pleased to know that we’re getting close to having the boat ready….!
- wondering how many people actually submit info to Microsoft when an application crashes and Windows invites us to do so….
- could apple be restricting supplies of the iPhone 3G to further increase the hype and sensation of huge demand?
- @vitorpereira still not decided re holidays, could be a portugese coastal roadtrip, or lazing in Menorca….
- @GrahamChastney enjoy the show! I’ve seen the Eurofighter a couple of times, very impressive piece of kit!
- Great to read a “green” story about something more than CO2 or carbon credit!

- @elsua gaiping void crop is the @chinposin theme…
