by kai on 14/04/2007

During webDU 2007's webJam session, I've recorded a few of the presentations, using the video functionality of my Nokia n93. The quality is surprisingly good for a phone, I guess.

Nectarine XMAS

by kai on 15/12/2006

I've just got an electronic xmas card from the guys at Nectarine. It's on a public website anyway, so have a look at this beauty from Australia and New Zealand's masters of animation: XMAS @ Nectarine.

A company called webeffekt accused another company named eTracker of allowing Goolge to spider and index internal customer data due to security flaws. Both companies are dealing with e-Commerce in general. BTW: The accusation is wrong, but that's just one of the points…

blog wars, can't believe it

by kai on 18/01/2006

This is at least annoying - still trying to be polite somehow. If you haven't heard about it yet - there are some pretty big discussions going on about Ray Camdens blog CFC. Appearently some other guy took it, did modifications to it and redistributed them on his own blogsite while stripping out comments and copyright notices of Ray. So far so good, Ray didn't provide some sort of license with…
