Happy 2005! Duncan Wilcox: "This is the time to start thinking seriously about decentralization of information discovery and of information personalization. We might be even a bit late, it would have been best to start, say, a couple years ago. It is time to put some real effort behind the microcontent client idea."

Happy New Millennium!

I've just arrived back from a knackering journey, after 10 days offline (!) and gently getting back up to speed... (930 mails got through the mailing-list filters, presumably there'd be significant bounciage too, there must be one or two I should read).

Russell Beattie Notebook would be my nomination for the 2003 Bloggies (category: best English-language American dude into interesting web development & Java who's living in Spain's blog).
