Subtil

Just back from the Gilbane conference in Boston where I talked to Adriaan Bloem of Radagio and CMS Watch on the problems of web governance for universities which Adrian just wrote about.

And what about those 95% you ask? Well, universities pioneered the web and their very decentralized web sites have since grown organically, many now containing hundreds of thousands of pages, if not millions. 95% of which could probably be deleted without anyone ever missing them -- but which 95%?

If you ask me, Adriaan also has the best definition of Web 2.0 so far. But I'll let him tell you that one himself.

Greece is as usual this trip too. It's unusually hot in Athens for this time of year, over 30 degrees Celsius. Very hot and people on strike. Today it's the subway and other forms of communication that stand still.

Waiting in Pireaus for the boat to take me out to Poros where I'll meet up with a bunch of Swedish archaeologists to discuss a project. I've found a cooling oasis with speedy WiFi-access in the form of Starbucks. The last few years internet has become more easily accessible here. Good thing.

Attended @media2006 in London last week and had a great time. Met some really nice people and made a bunch of new friends as well as talked to some very approachable giants in the field.

Calm

Spent a week in may at Villa San Michele. Fantastic place that everybody should visit at some point.

The island is as beautiful as it is steep. If you suffer from vertigo you should probably not go there — or, better yet — take the opportunity to consider Capri a schock treatment to get rid of your vertigo.
