I could think of several interesting implementations in the nptech world that would be fun (like it would make a great e-learning platform for, say, circuit riders, or folks like that.) I wish I had an excuse to install and test it – but it really requires a purpose for bringing community together.

It has been fun, in many ways, but I’ve not figured out the utility for me in terms of my work, although others have had a better time of it. Yeah, it’s fun that there is a great mix of people that I can keep track of (and they can keep track of me) – that’s the part of the equation that’s hard to find elsewhere.

I promise in April I’ll be right on time (oooohh, that could be fun, April Blogtipping on April fools day …) By the way, I think blogtipping is a great idea for our sector, and it’s a great way for me to think more about all of the blogs that I read. I think it’s a great idea, although I’m one day late.

September 17, 2007 There is an interesting discussion happening between Holly Ross, soon to be ED of NTEN, and Allan Benamer , about web statistics, and whether or not nonprofits should be “transparent&# and publish their web statistics. And, he thinks that NTEN should be responsive to him, as a member, in asking to publish web stats.

Week 1 I should have taken pictures – unboxing a new laptop is a lot of fun. But here’s Ubuntu week 1, not edited or smoothed out. I’ll understand points of pain, for sure. I got a Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m. Good specs, cheap price. My first step was to make sure the laptop booted. It booted fine.

As Linus said: Have a lot of fun. Because most people will only use what they are familiar with. it is particularly sad because its still virtually impossible to spend grant money on GNU/Linux support, people like to fund shiny hologram boxes. your message will justify them. This is why your message is sad. I bet you did.

But, still, although Facebook has been fun to play with, and many of my colleagues are using it, and it doesn’t take away from my workflow – it hasn’t actually helped me do much work. But there isn’t an easy way, for instance for me to see other’s data without actually clicking through to their profile.
