Technical Update

The conversion to Movable Type is complete now and I would like to thank those who have sent me feedback. In particular I would like to thank those who have caught some things that broke in the process. I am finding Movable Type very powerful and it offers me new featues for the blogging. Some of the naming conventions and file structure are different and that is where a few difficulties came in. Thanks to David Leip for pointing out that my RSS feed was lost. For those who use the RSS feed directly, the new feed is at http://patrickweb.com/weblog/index.xml, but I have also restored the original RSS feed at http://patrickweb.com/weblog/index.xml The two feeds are identical and both will be maintained. For those who prefer to get an email when a new story is posted, you can just subscribe.

Conferences

July 17, 2003

On Saturday I will be heading to Singapore to participate in the IBM Forum 2003. IBM has invited strategic business decision makers and operational decision makers such as the CIO and IT managers. I'll be giving a talk there next week. Being on-line is critical but being in-person at conferences is important too. In 1992 I went to the Agenda conference for the first time and have not missed it since then. Conferences are a way to keep in touch with industry colleagues and key industry trends. There are many good conferences but the ones that I have attended regularly for more than ten years include Agenda, Demo, and PC Forum. There have been many others that have provided great value including Vortex and Telecosm. Sometimes I speak at these conferences; sometimes I just listen. One of the newer conferences is Pop!Tech. Every autumn, in the seaside village of Camden, Maine, more than thirty of the world's most intriguing visionaries, innovators, leaders, scientists, intellectuals and artists come together to present their views about the future.
