Follow The Great Whale Trail

by kai 17/10/2007

My political message of the day is to mention Greenpeace’s Great Whale Trail. They’ve tagged humpback whales in New Caledonia and the Cook Islands and you can trace their movements on Google Maps. Obviously this campaign has a political motivation as well – to fight whaling!

Cool stuf: Ponoko

by kai 15/10/2007

If you’re interested in just cool stuff and alternative ideas/designs – have a look at Ponoko. Basically Ponoko is about laser-cutting kitsets, furnitures, decoration, wood etc. Just by accident I today found that two of my friends, Thomas and Hannah have done very, very cool stuff with it and put online. Check it out!

Aral Balkan explains SWX

by kai 05/10/2007

During one of the MAX breakfast, I was having a chat with Aral Balkan about his open-source project SWX. SWX is a native data format for Flash player-based RIAs and it looks great.

Public sector HR ethics

by kai 15/08/2007

Just posting this and asking for your opinion. Consider the following scenario: A government organisation (called ABC) hires a new senior manager (one level below the CEO) on some sort of a temporary fixed-term contract – after the previous manager had left to another institution.

Adobe Livecycle ES

by kai 11/08/2007

Adobe has just recently released the Livecycle ES suite. I’ve just returned from a train-the-trainer event in Sydney where I’ve learned about how to teach the first two LC ES classes of the Adobe certified curriculum. I was pretty excited to go from the first place, as it was really my first real world contact […]

Solved: good email client for OS X – PowerMail

by kai 30/07/2007

The other day I’ve blogged about my struggle to find a well suited email client for Mac OS X. I’ve decided to give Mail.app another try, but I was heavily disappointed. Although the client is nice it just didn’t work properly to import my huge mailbox files and it took literally minutes to render particular […]

HP Laserjet 1020 on OS X

by kai 27/07/2007

When we’ve moved to New Zealand in 2005, the amount of luggage/stuff we were taking was limited. At that time, I owned a pretty fancy HP Laserjet 13something printer I was really happy with – due to luggage restrictions, I’ve some sort of parked it with my father-in-law who didn’t mind 🙂 I bought a […]

Map24 for AU and NZ

by kai 26/07/2007

Map24 used to be the leader of the pack when it came to online mapping technologies and routing when I was living back in Germany. Today I found (pretty much by accident) that they have a new Developer Network and an AJAX API for their maps and that they’re also available pretty much world-wide. Their […]

Wanted: A good email client for OS X

by kai 25/07/2007

One of the reasons why I’ve been a bit quieter during the last 2-3 weeks is that I’m migrating my work environment from PC to Mac and this is a bit of work because besides playing with my new toy (2.4 GHz MBP, 4 GB RAM) I have to continue being at least a bit […]
