Re: Internet of Things kit for hackdays/spaces

I did consider Grove - looks nice and cheaper than Tinker kit, but not good availability in the UK. Cooking Hacks was out of stock of the basic kits at the time of my order which really decided things.

I've not had any problems. When I crash, repeatedly, the damage is to the spars (that's why they're wood). I think you'd have to do something special to break the centre plate.

Should be 3mm. This can be changed in the SCAD file.

I've not had any problems with it - though the vibrations will depend heavily on your motors and how balanced your copter is. Certainly the number of crashes I've had which were hard enough to snap the armatures are into double digits and the body has never suffered.

Another smaller service to add to the list: Nomad (www.vsnomad.com) brings PhoneGap into Visual Studio, tightly integrating a cloud build service to support one click builds for iOS and Android.

Using https improves things but doesn't solve the problem which is inherent in the way many web2.0 sites have been built with ajax. Details can be found here: http://arstechnica.com/busi...

I won't be at the Innovation Exchange now as it's clashing badly with all the CLG digital mentor meetings. But my colleague Nikki will be there (who manages our associates) so please do say hello.

Mike - Sorry to hear YoMo will be no more.

Good luck with what comes next, and keep in touch; we're always on the lookout for good youth participation associates.

Re: evince passes security audit

Stefan,

Thanks very much for clarifying this. I have to point out that this wasn't Giles' mistake, but one I introduced upon proofing which I'm sure I will not hear the end of in the office!

OL has worked with NCC to hold the iChIS source code over the past few years, and are very happy with the service which is why we've worked with them to provide this facility for evince. Howvere, as both comments have pointed out, should a customer require an alternative provider of escrow services we are happy to meet this requirement and you should make sure you're totally happy with any service offered before ticking the escrow box in your procurement.

Re: Section 12 guidance hits the streets

With a widened and more integrated agenda, it is true that there is increasing overlap with heavy-hitters who are specialists in other areas such as education. However, we still feel strongly that to fully meet the requirements of the information duty, local authorities need to look to specialist suppliers who can deliver both the understanding and capability to support CIS' in the implementation of the Childcare Act. A smaller, faster company can often deliver more innovation and greater customer focus, than a larger supplier, and in a fast-moving policy landscape this should be a key concern in choosing your partners.

We would expect that our track record of delivering the iChIS system and the CCL infrastructure at both a local and national level for many years, bears out our capability and professionalism as an IT supplier. We have been underpinning over 100 CIS' with IT infrastructure through the CCL contract and we will be maintaining the same levels of service to local authorities going forwards with evince.

Re: What is on tonight? Not Joost.com

Mark Cheverton — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 05:13:09 -0000

If Joost want to get their content onto the TV, then set-top is not the way to go. As is said above the lead time and rapid obsolescence of the hardware is difficult to manage unless you're a big service.

Practically all they have to do is setup Joost as a upnp server. The xbox 360 can act as a upnp media renderer and your content can be streamed over your home network from your tv to this or any other upnp renderer such as windows media center.

Re: Google Poaching Beacon Partners For "Universal Activity Stream"

Mark Cheverton — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 18:56:57 -0000

Don't forget Google's acquisition of Jaiku which can already fulfil the role of providing an aggregated lifestream based on RSS feeds from your social apps.

I would agree with Chris - this is trying to invent something that already exists in Jaiku, Plaxo pulse and others. Lifestreming does not require a new technology to get off the ground, just easier setup (as Plaxo has somewhat achieved) plus more openness in terms of RSS output from the apps you already use.
