#“Jolicloud not what I expected” So after checking out CloudOS, I loaded up JoliCloud onto a thumbdrive. Tariq Krim's quick presentation at Le Web had caught my interest.I was a bit stunned to find myself booting into Ubuntu NBR Linux. And not quickly. Hardly a new paradigm.I create a Jolicloud account and............."Here are some apps you can install in your linux box. Here are some other webapps, not specific to Jolicloud" »
#“Instant Google CloudOS Reaction” On Monday night I grabbed an image of Google's not-yet-released CloudOS operating system, stuck it on a USB stick and booted my Acer Aspire One netbook with it. In under10 seconds I had a login prompt. 5 seconds after that I was in and using it. Pretty shockingly impressive.It currently a very basic desktop with mainly links to web apps. Browser is obviously Chrome.Very slow (since it is totally non-optimised for any hardware) but amazingly, video works, network works, decent resolution works. »
#“The in-betweeners” Like many people, my blogging activities have collapsed. A lot of that is due to work commitment but another large part of it is that I post most quick thoughts and ideas to Twitter or Facebbok. The problem there is discoverability and conversation threads. Sure someone can find a tweet weeks later but they'll never be able to reply to it in an intelligible way. But I still don't have time to do full blog posts. »
