Web2.0 meeting the real world

Over the past 2 days I had an interesting exchange of email ( 11 13 at last count) with a guy that appear from nowhere. The content of the exchange can best be described as frustrating and a case of not seeing eye to eye.

Upon pondering a litter deeper however, I realise that it is not just an isolated incident but really a generic case of Web2.0 meeting the real world.

Many people, like me, live on the net, feeding on a diet of opensouce, mashup and all the fuzziness and overlaps that had became known as Web2.0.

Most of the time we are not too concern about other people using our work. This is not to say that we are condone those that blatantly steal work but rather, we prefer to embrace the idea of sharing, of community and a virtual closeness.

As much as we want to think that the whole world know what web2.0 is about, it is may very well be just 53,651 people.

So back to my story.

Interesting week. An unexpecting encounter and went on to do some surfing and research to write the post.

More server related surfings. I’m doing more of these now that I run a few servers and my offline company also requires similar things.

Getting Things Done … another convert soon

Very soon I might become the next Getting Things Done (GTD) convert.

I ran into so many positive comments about how using GTD has changed their life and I decided to give it a try.

I just installed GTD Gmail plugin for FireFox and am looking up information all around.

Sounds like fun. Let see if I get things done.

Update on AdAdvantage

I did not mention it but AdAdvantage, my K2 3 column scheme (the one that you are looking at right now), had been updated a while back and is sitting on the scheme page.

Thanks to all those kind soul that send me message to ask, yes I’m still updating it. I’m using it on a number of my blogs and my plan is to sync up with the K2 development as much as I can.

During the last sync I noticed that K2 is doing some integration with the sidebar widgets themselves and interfere with the Automattic’s Widgets. K2’s version is also not complete and cannot support 2 sidebars (as of my last sync).

I’m planning an integration as soon as I find some time and when K2’s version become stable. Thanks for all your feedback and comments.

Donation this Month: cwRsync

In keeping with my plan to make donation from my online earnings to opensource softwares that I use,  this month donation goes to  cwRsync.

cwRsync is a packaged rsync client and server for Windows. Rsync is an open source utility that provides incremental file transfer.You may not be familiar with this application as it is not featured widely. I only found out about it last month as well.

For the last 1 month I had been using it in the background and am very happy with the result. cwRsync solves part of the backup solution that I had been looking for.

This project deserve more attention. I’m doing my little to give it a small donation and promotion. Check it out!
