Our Call For Papers made it pretty fast on Slashdot. As it seems our Twiki system is still withholding the storm :-)

Time for us to improve the content and get a bit more aggressive about communicating our aims to the public. Lots of work ahead.

Aargh. Could somebody at Apple kick the guy who invented this „press shift on login to free your soul“ feature? Thanks.

Just trying to set up a Mac OS X Server system. Everything is just the „standard way“ but the system is not letting me log into my client computers. Why? Because „I am not authorized to log into this computer“. Aha. „Consult your system administrator“. Aha. I am the system administrator. And I haven‘t a clue.

The documentation on Mac OS X Server is for idiots. Everything is explained step by step. But it is not for experts who be so happy if Apple could just explain how their system works. But no, sure, I wouldn‘t understand it anyway. Sure. Thanks, Apple. Thanks for keeping me stupid.

Good to see that interest in the CampWiki is increasing. Today the GIMP Developers have expressed their intention to come to the Camp and have their Developers Conference at the Camp.

I‘m leaving Easterhegg today. Back to Berlin. There will be a nice party in Greifswalder Strasse 23. But I am not going to come. I am hacking TWiki.

The Camp Wiki has reached beta quality now. Many people have already signed up already. I am looking forward to more content coming in soon.

The experience with TWiki is mixed, but still basically positive. It is powerful, but slow. It is flexible but it‘s SmallTalk-like distribution (pumping out an image of mixed runtime/developer/default content) doesn‘t come without its price.

I have the feeling that progress within the community is strong and the appearance of a new Installer gives me the impression that community is well aware of their current limitations.

On the other hand, I also like the stripped-down super-simple and elegant PhpWiki-based Dylan Language WikiWikiWeb. It beautyfully matches the straightforward elegance of Dylan itself.

Just arrived at Easter(h)egg 2003 in Hamburg, a four-day hacker hangout of the Chaos Computer Club.

I just opened my personal page on the Egg-Wiki. There will be a small session on saturday on the Camp.

Radar and I are still wrestling with the innards and details of CampWiki. But we are making progress and I must say I like the TWiki way of doing things. The project is really well documented and gets the job done.

We have set up a TWiki-based Wiki system at http://wiki.camp.ccc.de. It is intended to provide all necessary information about the Chaos Communication Camp 2003.

Diving into the Blogosphere has become of my sports recently. By watching selected blogs on a daily basis you get more and accustomed to the way things get looked at.

Once you get a feeling for various authors, start synchronizing with their update cycles and notice in what way and speed information gets consumed and reborn again, this metaweb gets exciting.

Ben Hammersley is one one of these bloggers that I got interested in and finally used to.

And he‘s a BlogManiac, even commenting his flight turbulence in more or less real time.
