Creating a small web site, I started out editing html and css files in Gedit on Ubuntu.
The files are in the cloud and now I want to work on them from a Windows PC. Should I install Gedit for Windows, or Notepad++?
I test-drove KompoZer on both Ubuntu and Windows, but for some reason it didn’t work for me. So I’m a bit sceptical about WYSIWYG now.
Hence Gedit. I like the fact that I can edit multiple files in tabs, and I like the syntax highlighting. Does Notepad++ offer that too? Any other considerations?
Krijgen we dit jaar nog een zomer?
Deze takketalvi loopt vast door tot mei
Ja je dacht in maart: “De lente zal wel komen”
maar voor je ‘t weet is de midzomernacht alweer voorbij

A few months back I had my blog moved from WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress installation, running the theme Twenty Eleven. I’ve carefully started tweaking some of the very basic design properties, such as some of the colors.
While getting a feel for the possibilities, I’m also developing a few ideas for new functionality and improving the site’s design. This journey could be quite good fun and so this post is just to share some of the ways I’ve been going about it, for what it’s worth and for my own reference.

This was supposed to be my sauna evening, but soi.
Sustainable journalism, that’s what we’re all looking for. Quality journalism that will survive and thrive despite and thanks to the Internet.
Jeff Jarvis today explained his insistence on having his journalism students develop for-profit businesses. Apparently, this raised some eyebrows among an audience of teachers of entrepreneurial journalism.
In his piece, Jeff asserts that “there is not enough charity in the nation for the journalism it needs.”
First off, this begs the question: “How much journalism does the nation need?” Free market advocates will argue that the nation needs as much journalism as there is market demand for. Charity curmudgeons and other journalism idealists may argue that there is no end to how much quality jourmalism the nation needs.
My point is, how much (quality) journalism a society needs is a subjective matter.
This is what I replied to Jeff on Twitter, and what Jeff replied to me: Continue reading

For a presentation on Web & Social Media monitoring, I am looking for fresh data showing that consumers’ conversations and recommendations about brands are shifting from the kitchen table to on-line media, social media and social networks.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated!

Hello and welcome to Eleet!
Eleet suggests links to you that you might be interested in, based on links that you and other people have shared on Facebook.
Please, have a look. The more active you are at sharing links on Facebook, the more interesting links we will be able to suggest to you.

‘Eleet’ is Finnish for ‘gestures’. http://eleet.fi is the first public link recommendation service built on a recommendation engine that is being developed through a project called ‘Project Gestures’.
Facebook is the first social web service from which we source shared links – or ‘gestures’ in our jargon. We plan to roll out similar integration with other major services on the Social Web, next up Twitter. Also, we want to enable you to submit any blog or RSS feed as a source of your on-line gestures. Just watch us
We will publish the source code of the engine’s core technology during September 2011.
During the spring of 2011, our project received recognition as it was selected to the finals of the first-ever ‘Uutisraivaaja’ (‘Newsplorer’) innovation contest sponsored by the Helsingin Sanomat Foundation.
The Foundation is linked to Helsingin Sanomat, one of Finland’s most influential daily news papers. Inspired by the Knight News Challenge in the United States, the contest “(…) seeks ideas for improving and renewing the distribution of information. (…)”
Our project was in part inspired by a tweet from New York University Journalism Professor Jay Rosen, who wrote while linking to one of our earliest blog post on the topic:
“Imagine a personal recommendation system for news based not on consumption habits but on your gestures: authoring and sharing.”
So, the fundamental underlying principle of our engine is that we don’t analyze what you click and read on-line, but what you write and share. When you share a link on Facebook, Twitter or on your blog, that is a very strong indication, or ‘gesture’, that the topic behind the link is relevant to you.
Well, ‘nuff said. Please, take our engine for a spin a let us know what you think!
