| Backspin: Keeping IT honest
Just over a week ago Forrester Research posted a blog item titled "Sponsored Conversations: When it's OK to pay bloggers to post." More Gearhead and Backspin: Search tools: hardware, an add-on and a service
Gibbs outlines a product awaiting test that searches and captures television programs, raves about a browser search enhancement plug-in he can’t live without, and is quite impressed by a service to help you identify errors. To Tweet or not to Tweet, that's not an option
I'm writing this column for one simple reason: Once I get it written then the next time someone says to me "I don't get Twitter, it seems kinda stoopid to me. What is it all about?" I can direct them to this polemic and save my breath. Computers and five kinds of insanity
I wrote last week about New Zealand's insane copyright legislation that would make people accused of content piracy guilty until proven innocent. Over the last few days I've been marveling at how that seems to be consistent with the general level of insanity that surrounds the digital world at present. Wrapping up TiddlyWiki
The excitement is coming to an end...Mark Gibbs has covered TiddlyWiki up one side and down the other and is still amazed with the application. New Zealand gets insane copyright law
A law has just been passed in New Zealand that allows for alleged online copyright infringers to have their Internet access cut off before being proved guilty. TiddlyWiki macros and plugins
Continuing with his exploration of TiddlyWiki wiki technology, Mark Gibbs looks at the system's macros and plugins that modify and extend the how and what the software can do. IT's glass - full, empty or too big?
In times of economic chaos and budget cuts you need to check your perspective. You know the old saw: A pessimist sees the glass as half empty; the optimist sees it as half full.

Mark Gibbs discusses some reader feedback on TiddlyWiki and then starts to break down the TiddlyWiki system. Will the excitement never end? Fixing the privacy joke
The whole idea of privacy has become a joke. On one hand we have consumers who will give away their personal details to random Web sites (as well as to Mrs. Sikiratu Seki Adam, "a widow to Late Saheed Baba Adams") at the drop of a virtual hat, and on the other we have businesses losing personally identifiable information and transaction data with wild abandon … yes, I'm talking about you Heartland Payment Systems. (Heartland lost data on more than 100 million transactions although it is hardly alone — check out the data loss database at the Open Security Foundation). Building a wiki with TiddlyWiki
Last week I started to review TiddlyWiki, an amazing personal wiki, and explained you can get started by downloading an empty version (a barebones copy of TiddlyWiki without content) from the TiddlyWiki download page. TiddlyWiki is amazing, fantastic!
Every now and then you stumble across a truly great idea and, as often as not, don't get it at first. Then you fall over the idea a second time and click! The light goes on. Such was my finding and re-finding of TiddlyWiki, a personal wiki system created by one Jeremy Ruston. Network World on Twitter Get our tweets and stay plugged in to networking news. |
