Kudos to Fido
Within a few days of my post, Fido responded with a 100% perfect solution: The $50 GPRS Unlimited bundle was added to your account. It was possible to do so as we have not yet fully converted to our new Billing platform - thankfully. The usual condition is that...
Scratching at Fido’s door
29 days into my love affair with an unlocked Treo and I have discovered why it's nice not to be married to any one cell phone carrier. I made the leap into wireless, thinking that Fido's unlimited data plan offered a net; they've since pulled the plan, though existing...
Why have one home page when you can have ten?
Just discovered a very cool Firefox feature. If you have several web pages open in tabs, and then click Peferences/General in order to set your home page, Firefox gives you the option of setting your home page to "current pageS". So if you like to check your bank...

Part of the plan with the telecentre.org ecosystem is to bring relevant content into telecentre.org sites using RSS. In the case of event sites -- like the Capetown site that is the very first telecentre event site to get up and running -- we'll use special tags...
Event blogging with Drupal
This is Information Society Week in Capetown, and one of the events taking place is the first telecentre.org workshop to use the new Drupal-based event platform that I've helped develop. The good folks at Bryght have set us up with a freelinking module that lets...
This is your brain in binary
As part of my ongoing quest to find a Mac counterpart to the Personal Brain (thanks to Jerry Michalski for ruining my life with his software demo) -- and as part of my re-evaluation of all my productivity apps in the wake of my Treo purchase -- I have been playing...
Movie Central digs me out from Six Feet Under
Today's online customer service award goes to Movie Central --- that's the (Western) Canadian equivalent of HBO. I emailed the address listed on their web site last Monday (August 8th), as follows: Subject: Six Feet Under season 5 hi, I've somehow missed Season 5 of...
Coding for deliberation
One of my favourite organizations working on dialogue and deliberation challenges is the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation (NCDD). They've done a great job of building community among people doing civic engagement, dialogue and deliberation work, and...

Get visual inspiration from Pinterest
I'm trying out Pinterest, which I'd describe as a social bookmarking system for images. You create "Pinboards" of images you like, and "pin" items onto the board when you spot something you like online. The site's default pinboards suggest likely uses: keeping track...
Blogging hubris
Yesterday I made the mistake of bragging about how well I've been doing with my daily blogging practice. And tonight I thought I'd knock off a quick blog post that would keep me in my groove. Instead I found myself learning the ins and outs of last.fm, playlistify and...

How to cope with your life as a social media celebrity
I think that, in a way, we're all sort of acting like celebrities have to act, where you have personal persona and a public persona. You think about what you want to share with your fans. I know that's how a lot of people feel about using Twitter, where, by default,...
