Facebook allow ‘notable’ accounts to verify they are the authentic person or persona. It shows as a blue tick.

Re: The Battle of the Parachute Festival Replacements: Cloud Festival vs Festival One

JoMangee — Sun, 07 Dec 2014 00:13:49 -0000

First I've heard of Cloud Festival. I have tickets to Festival-One and bringing my 10yo up for one of his first 'parachute' weekends. Never liked BDO - but Rapture Ruckus would get me going if I could rationalise my Saturday plans. Hmmm.

Blackboxes? There must be market for lightweight, spaceproof, fire and explosion resistant boxes?

Re: Should 'Moment Of Truth' be declared as an election expense?

Pretty sure this was deemed by Electoral Commission not to be a party thing - rather a national related issue.

Heh, I got in early at 8am, and while the shop was full, only 2 in the queue. Staff were looking slightly more harried than usual, but the same smile and superb service. Poor girl on the counter trying to scan inkjet printed fuzzy barcodes tho.

Re: #EQNZ: Social Media Response to the Christchurch Earthquake

JoMangee — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:30:47 -0000

Unlimited Potential, an ICT Network in Wellington, NZ is running a free event shortly to talk to this subject and raise some money for the affected..
"Social media played a pivotal role in rallying resources from outside of the Christchurch quake zone, but The Press had hard-copy news in subscribers’ hands the following day whilst power, phone and internet was still down.

Tim McNamara talks us through how eq.org.nz came into being and evaluates the role of new media in disaster recovery."

Re: Trying to recall author/title of #scifi book I read ~1993 that had virtual presence robots and hovering A/V micro sensors... uhm..? #lazyweb

JoMangee — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:03:47 -0000

I recall something about it being a salesman of some sort - had burrowing and tunnels and space/land craft. I recall the invisible? audio visual sensors that would allow the 'salesman'? to listen in on conversations and he also had a robot that looked identical to him he could remotely walk and talk with - be in two places at the same time.
Been trying to remember it for ages. I merges in my mind with another (?) scifi story that includes a guy that hacked a building AI to steal something then it wouldn't let him out.

Re: Yet Another Article on Twitter: Just How Desperate Are You for Followers, Anyway?

JoMangee — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 05:40:12 -0000

Disagree, totally. Yes these people exist, but I'm not one of them. I hope. With the #followlimit imposed by Twitter [see http://tr.im/followlimit ] I can't follow all the people with the cool ideas, and Twitter took away track and left us with a bolted on search which doesn't integrate in your feed. I used to follow ideas and topics, but now I can't do that, I follow the people that 1 in 10 posts, mention those topics or ideas.

I used to drink from the firehose, but the mere trickle I get from 2000 is barely enough to quench my thirst for the global zeitgeist and the power of dipping your hand in this river of thoughts, ideas and really cool stuff that is in peoples' everyday lives and doings is strangely compelling. I'm just wired differently I suppose.

Re: Bob van Vliet (Buying a vacuum cleaner should be easier)

JoMangee — Wed, 27 May 2009 05:44:20 -0000

That sounds like the perfect store for me too! I suppose that is what in effect I do when shopping, research first, then find where to get the one or two items I'm interested in, and make a trip with a pre-planned purchase in mind. Of course once you get there and get confused by the million other models...

Re: Microsoft once more taps Open Source

JoMangee — Sat, 16 May 2009 14:03:45 -0000

I thought for a moment, the inquisitor image with keyboard caps on a desk was Microsoft's new branding for it. ;) (I hope it isn't)

Good to see the larger more closed companies slowly opening up. I remember when Apple started getting into opensource in a public way.
