RSS in my heart.The BBC's support for RSS isn't new, but it is newly explained on their site. For example, if you scroll to the bottom of the index page for UK news, in the lower right corner you'll see a menu item called "RSS version." Click to visit a page that explains what RSS is all about, and links to the feed for the page you came from. It requires a little digging to find all the goodies, but the payoff is huge because the BBC has so much you can subscribe to. Now there's a way to find it from the BBC site.

"Karl Marx joked to Friedrich Engels that he would make the bourgeoisie pay for the hemorrhoids he developed while writing Das Kapital at the British Museum, a few blocks from here. After several hours of listening to papers on revolutionary educational theory, I am beginning to appreciate that sentiment." here.

Now, in Britain's prisons, making an insulting remark about terrorists is grounds for dismissal. While it's perfectly fine to carp about George W Bush and Margaret Thatcher, Osama bin Laden must deserve respect....

More on St Thomas and Kerala. Absolutely fascinating.

I am not really interested in this. I just wondered how the Newsgator add in would handle categories.

Pirated versions of Microsoft's next operating system are on sale in Malaysia well before the official release date.

David Buchan describes how he uses NewsGator and PersonalBrain (a knowledge mapping tool) together, and drags messages from NewsGator/Outlook to PersonalBrain for visualization.  Pretty cool!

Dear K-Loggers,
 
Here is an interesting tool that can potentially RSS-enable your organization (RSS is really simple syndication).  It's called k-collector:

Itis an enterprise RSS aggregator that gathers information from multiple systems from e-mail to sales systems (see overview:  http://www.evectors.com/itkcollector/).   It also uses an innovative method called Enterprise News Topics (ENT) to add metacontent to the news items (either automatically or by hand).  The end result is an easy to read and modify news dashboard. 
 
Worth getting a demo. 
 
Sincerely,
 
John Robb

Tonight's Northern Line excursion is cancelled because Paul is ill with the flu. Called Sam last night to congratulate him on Sri Lanka's win over England. He is going to come with is when we hit Clapham North as that is where his son's bar is. He is also soon to open one in Borough apparently. That spookily is on the Northern Line also.
