Sametime 2 Skype… and more
Yes, it has been quite a while since I have posted…
But, my slack time is over! There is so much going on…
I’ve been using a couple of plugins for Sametime — Sametime 2 Skype and Sametime 2 Jajah, both from Pentos . I can strongly recommend both. Go to Skype. Go to Jajah.
The Sametime 2 [...]
Thursday Cool Time
I’ve decided to do a regular Thursday post and include a few cool links
I was thinking about the Apple Newton (anyone remember that!) and the progression of iMac, iPod, iPhone. What could be NeXT from Apple I was thinking, maybe — an embedded chip for us humans? maybe like an “iChip” which allows [...]
Being Mobile: On the Run!
I am a runner. I am also mobile. I don’t have a personal GPS unit (yet!) but I do like to know how far I am running, especially when I’m training for a half-marathon or marathon. One of the best sites I have come across is this one: www.mapmyrun.com. These guys are on to something [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Let’s Make it Easier: Mobility Patterns
I’ve always been a fan of patterns — for business, technology, integration, application, etc.
The reason I like patterns is simple: I don’t want to have to do the same work over and over. It’s much easier to use something repeatable, and modify it as needed! I’ve been scouting around for some user and business/integration patterns [...]
Installation Blues
Mobile software stacks. Not like pancakes, not as tasty, but necessary! I often look at what holds us all back from real end-to-end mobility, and it dawned on me when I was in India a couple of weeks ago. There’s nothing simple and complete about mobile software — it can be fiddly to install, tricky [...]

I’ve just installed another beta app — Mobile Web Server from the Nokia Beta Labs team. Look, this is cool. Mobile phone as personal URL — complete with mobile web server. Go to www.mymobilesite.net to get started. I think the potential of this is enormous.

I had a bit of a rant about Wibree a while ago. As a standalone wireless access method, I didn’t think it had much to offer. However, Nokia has managed to persuade the Bluetooth Special Interest Group to merge Wibree into its Personal Area Network offering (see this article).
I like the idea of low power anything though. [...]
Wireless WAN
I’m using a Lenovo Thinkpad T60p notebook. This machine has built-in Wireless WAN — that is, all I should need to do is put in a SIM card (with 3G service enabled, straight out of my mobile phone) and it should go.
Well, it should, and in theory it does, but only with Vodafone. Absolutely no [...]
Mobile Instant Messaging
OK, it’s been a couple of weeks since my last post. I’ve been thinking a lot about – I do like Sametime (version 7.51) for instant messaging (IM) at work — it’s got a lot of cool features, and because it is based on Eclipse, you can extend it with client-side plugins — including one for Google [...]

Does anyone really want to receive advertising on their mobile phone? Remember back when Internet access was dial-up — there were very few (if any) ads. Why? I think it was because bandwidth was too expensive and upsetting potential customers is not a good thing. Now that those of us in Australia can generally find [...]
