a molecule who got the boring name klf2 (oh my humans) can tell you how.

has been a while, but looking forward to meet again: paul pangaro, this time talking about gordon pask,
paul weston, who once showed me his original drawings on hirwon and will continue where he stopped his talk four years ago, alfred inselberg who once tried to convince me to think in nth dimensions but also asking: why are you here?

and many others .. for sure the third hvf - and for me second - conference will be challenging but fun. glad to have a chance and looking forward to meet these truly humans again.

scaffolding the new web, rand study, 2000. it's not just about the nonsense to try to standarize semantics and onologies but also unfolds some of the problems people involved faced with osi; and ietf had to deal with afterwards in regard to standardization ... | thanks to carl cargill

osi was the answer to a lot of questions, it is just nobody asked the right questions. i mean the costumers did not care about those questions answered, but for computer people they were really essential; but for users, no, they didn’t want all the complexities. that’s the great success and the great tragedy of osi. the fact is that people re-realized that standards are complex and have to be dealt with. and the bad thing is they never asked the costumers what they wanted ...

... the european government was saying: we are only going to buy osi, here is my internet address. | cargill
