We went to Blog camp Switzerland today – seeing as we’re in Zurich. Most interesting thing for me was the talk by an experienced journo and Entrepreneur Nicholas Berg, who has been working with Xing (a European LinkedIn) for the last year.
Take-away – success invariably has 4 attributes: Surprise, Empathy, Timing, and Simplicity.
While updating the YahooUserInterfaceContrib in TWiki to the just releases 2.2 version, I started to work with the BETA DataTable module.
Firstly, I’ve had to fix TWiki to put the headers and footers into the correct thead and tfoot HTML sections, and then there are the ‘tiny buglets’ 🙂
But it is a nice begining. I’ll be doing further work on it in TWiki (especially in the BugsContrib, and its derived task manager), and i’m planning on replacing the Catalyst DBIx paging with the dataTable Paging in mySpending.
I’ve been working in the wiki space (on JOSWiki then TWiki) for years, like 6 to 7 years, and it amazes me how much hype there is now. Its nice to see that the mainstream press and business are aware of it, but the recent ‘see it doesn’t work’ complaints show, they still don’t get it.
Either you care, and when you see a mess, you clean it up, or you continue on your way. Neither is a failure, just life.
Its kind of like Wysiwyg editing, I find it distracting – thats not to say i think its pointless, but it does mean that I make different choices, from those made by others.
