Broken links
Nothing to be proud of really, but it keeps me immersed in the good old days of 1994. So many people have got in touch with me about 'em though thats it's just too silly so time to give the web site a good old dusting down. Apologies to all, including my sister Chrissie in Australia. I must do better in 2006. Now these Radio links on the Calendar well I'm going to need a smart student aboard to fix them up.

Alfresco - Open Source Content Management
I've been looking at JBoss for some time and also trying to find a project/business focused on J2EE apps which I could use as a model for what I'm trying to achieve with WebGVO longer term. I think Alfresco may be it.

Where's my feed gone?
Make that feeds - one day I woke up and found that my newsfeed subscription list contracted right down to Scripting News. Now how did that happen.
Still, it needed some work done to it.

WiFi
Finally got my Draytek ADSL router to work in wireless mode. Lots of problems until now with router dropping out. Encryption setting and reboot seems to have worked.

Home
Arrived back home yesterday and the jet-lag is just about gone. I've been taking the kids to gymnastics and music lessons, helping set up the Xmas tree, cooking spaghetti, and planning to set up our son Seumas with Groove Virtual Office so he can - ahem - concentrate on his studies. While I stay in touch on a daily basis with what's happening, give him pointers etc. Yes I'll be sitting beside him at the kitchen table as well, though I do think an online space can add some value to education - anyway lets see how it goes.

Research at the Media Lab
Its unusual OK, in fact rather inspiring.
"Research at the Media Lab comprises interconnected developments in an unusual range of disciplines, such as software agents; machine understanding; how children learn; human and machine vision; audition; speech interfaces; wearable computers; affective computing; advanced interface design; tangible media; object-oriented video; interactive cinema; digital expression—from text, to graphics, to sound; and new approaches to spatial imaging, nanomedia, and nanoscale sensing."
