My British long weekend shall be spent in Paris. I will return on August 26th. I may blog from an Internet Cafe in Paris, and post some photographs if I can. Enjoy your weekend!

Apologies to readers, my cable connection has been intermittent in the last few days due to NTL problems with its DNS clusters. The problem should be fixed shortly. In the meantime I would direct you to the blogs in my daily reads section. In other news I finally met fellow blogger Roger Ridey at the…

Winer is real. Winer is a software developer, but one very few software developers people have heard of: he developed “outlining” software for the Macintosh in the 1980s and claims co-authorship of a couple of obscure web protocols, which are too boring and unimportant to mention. Rightly or wrongly, he has a reputation for alienating…

Maureen Dowd has something interesting things to say about blogging. Thanks to ‘Pett’? for pointing this out to me during the week too. Even former candidates are weighing in. Gary Hart, who began his blog in March, doesn’t bother to read other digital diarists. “If you’re James Joyce,” he said slyly, “you don’t read other…

Deb is back and points to: Dave Winer’s organizing BloggerCon 2003 at Harvard on October 4. I’d love to attend but the $500 is about ten times my conference budget these days. Should be fabulous, so I encourage fellow bloggers to show up in force. Myself and Bernie discussed going, but I doubt I will…

Dan points to interesting series of articles on the benefits journalism may gain from blogging. I remember Stephen Pollard making similar observations at the weblog seminar in Westminster. Ideas and written pieces can be published online and vetted by readers before going to print, blogging helps the journalism process. I love it.

Karlin is hoping to get the Irish bloggers together again for some beers. I guess I don’t really count since I am now an ex-pat(rick), but I would love to attend. I think it might conflict with my trip to Paris.

Seems that P45 have come clean on that Iraq-Monaghan similarity story. They managed to fool even the British Broadcasting Corporation and the almost always accurate Register. Not alone that, they have also come clean on many other stories following a piece on Irish radio show, 5-7 live. Well done lads! Darn those lazy reporters God…

Ryan’s unique blog is worth a look on a regular basis. He is a good friend of mine from Cork. This week he looks forward to the return to school. I bet he never thought he would be looking forward to going back!

Horst over in Austria has redesigned his weblog, very nice work. His latest post is good too, he is lamenting the fact that the library he works in is in trouble: Vienna University Library is the largest Austrian library, housing 5.8 million books in 60 different locations. The main library, home of 2.5 million books,…
