Great SM participation guide from @NickDawson. Highlights Mayo's approach pioneered by @leeaase.

Re: A Clinical Infusion of Google Wave

Phil,
Great article. Now imagine what happens if the Patient (or the person they have assigned their responsibilities to) compiles the initial wave and submits it to the hospital.

Also imagine another ClinyBot that might be interpreting the conversation and providing context back to the patient (or their representative).

If the patient is at the center and is a partner not a subject - the compliance with HIPAA might be somewhat simplified.

I have managed to get VPN working to a Cisco Gateway.
I certainly had some errors getting SMTP settings to retain the password. I ended up backing up the keychain creating a new keychain and re-attaching the archived keychain.

Check Keychain Access and make sure there are no "Access is Restricted" messages. Once I solved that problem my SMTP passwords started being retained.

Re: RSS has no Fail Whale (Scripting News)

When Twitter can't even serve up it's own tweets from more than a week ago there is no hope of it consuming RSS.

I pull any search term I am interested in on Twitter as an RSS feed and drop it in to my Google Reader account. That way I can maintain my own history. What I should probably do is re-share those streams publicly. If we all did that it would pull Twitter in to the RSS cloud - whether Twitter likes that idea or not.

The network effects are one challenge. They keep pulling us back to Twitter. But it does drive home the fact that "Free is too high a price to pay" for some services.

Re: Sharepoint Web Services

Has anyone worked out how to get at the information in the Sharepoint Profile Database. Sharepoint doesn't seem to provide any decent tools to produce customized lists using the user profile information. I was wondering if anyone had worked out how to do that from Presto?

Re: Mashup Code Samples - A Developer's Guide to Mashups and Microsoft SharePoint

ekivemark — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:00:27 -0000

I have been doing some more testing and think I have found one of the problems.

The examples here are very simplistic. SharePoint is more complicated than the examples make out. The biggest gotcha I have found is in the examples you have to be very aware of the item limit in the view being used. The Sharepoint WSDL for GetListItems only returns the contents of the first page of a view. As a precaution you may want to set the rowLimit value to a very high number.

I am still investigating other "anomalies" I have a couple of other lists with a large number of entries in them. I have copied the Tasks GetListItems example but these large lists do not want to display in XML or grid format in the mashlet maker.

Presto 2.7.0 provides some better integration with SharePoint.

I am successfully using Service Explorer to get at content in Sharepoint sites but all this does is confirm to me that SharePoint is NOT an end user tool. It is a development platform.

I am still struggling to extract useful information from SharePoint. It seems that it is necessary to set up a series of mashups. The first to get a list. Then you need to get a view. Then you can see in wires that there is data but piecing it together to display the content of your data is overly complex.

This is probably an opportunity for someone to develop a series of mashup macro templates that can be configured to allow lay users, like myself, to customize in order to extract the data from lists.

Re: Voice Mail IS Dead

Amen Brother!

I am tired of separate Office VMail, Work Cell email, Personal Cell email and none of them are allowed to integrate. At the very least I want to route them to GrandCentral/Google Voice, or spinvox etc. and convert to text so I can review them more easily.

An enterprise mashup is a real-time application that can be built by users or developers using data pulled from public or internal sources that creates new insights and understanding as a result of combining previously unconnected information in new ways.

The Enterprise Mashup Platform enables Just-in-Time development of solutions that reflect the real world reality that we need to use information from a wide variety of source applications in ways that were never dreamt of when the applications were originally designed and implemented.

The Enterprise Mashup platform differs from Consumer Mashup Services in recognizing and working within the security and audit requirements of an organization while enabling public and internal data to be brought together to create valuable and actionable information.

Re: Battle Of The Twitterologists: Microstreaming

ekivemark — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:11:56 -0000

I take your point on the casting connotation.

Since Twitter is like the world's virtual water cooler it reminds me of a term from the uk - having a "natter" - an informal conversation. May be we should coin the term "micronatting"

Re: Battle Of The Twitterologists: Microstreaming

ekivemark — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 13:24:27 -0000

May be we should use the term Microcasting instead of micromessaging. It is like sms texting but we broadcast to groups of listeners.

Re: Is Sharepoint a collaboration platform or not?

ekivemark — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 22:08:43 -0000

I agree with you Rahul. The problem I have is that the Wiki functionality is so crippled. The structure of sharepoint encourages segregation of knowledge and then makes it troublesome to link between these discrete knowledgebases.

Hopefully other products will complement the core Sharepoint platform to improve the situation. I am thinking SocialText for example.

It does make me wonder if Microsoft really gets modern collaboration - or are they stuck back in the document centric mindset of the mid 90's?

Dave, I have been thinking the same and wondering if I could simply pull the sim from my iPhone and put it in the Nokia to do the upoading....

If that works there are some other more devious options that might work. However I need to sit down and work those out.

Re: A digital camera designed for bloggers? (Scripting News)

ekivemark — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 17:01:29 -0000

Dave,

I agree with others - the Nokia N95 is probably what you want - but it fails on the $250 at Amazon hurdle.

While the N95 8Gb is the top of the line an older N95 might suffice at around $695. You can probably shop around and cut about $100 off that price. Another alternative is to step down from 5 megapixels to around 3 megapixels and go with a $400 Nokia N82

FSJ, I say one thing about your deep sixing Adobe's Flash on the iPhone in my post http://ekive.blogspot.com/2008/03/no-flash-on-i...

I didn't think it half as negative as Woz but obviously I hit a nerve.
So I give you one chance - Call off Moshe and then think whether you can really trust him. If you want to know more check out:

So you got away with that options backdating thing but may be Moshe is getting ready to sell you down the river....
