“BusySync lets you share iCal calendars on a LAN and sync iCal with Google Calendar.” Well, if it does that, that’s pretty nifty. Worth checking out.

“The infochimps.org community is assembling and interconnecting the world’s best repository for raw data — a sort of giant free allmanac, with tables on everything you can put in a table.”

Tom Carden links up a few more visualisation blogs he’s following that you might not have heard of.

“The easier way to monitor servers and web applications.” Single-server plan is free; looks like it could be very handy indeed.

Linked a thousand times over, but some great stuff in the main body. Alas, a shame to see the intertards lay into a very fair Michael Bywater, who at least showed up to the comments.

“I’ve never been satisfied with folks trying to build services that generate ‘eyeballs’ just to ‘monetize’ that traffic with ads.” Charlie rightly lays into the monetizers.

“Dweller is a simple roguelike targeted for Java enabled mobile phones” lovely – straightforward, classic ASCII Rogue on your j2me mobile. Two thumbs up!
Gamecamp
20 April 2008
It’s been linked up all over the place, but I may as well link it again: the Guardian are running Gamecamp, a one-day unconference about games and play, on the third of May, and I’m going to be there, cooking up some nefarious quiz-shaped entertainment with some of the usual suspects such as Dan, James, Lee, and a few others.
Obviously, it being an unconference, everyone attending is encouraged to talk, and I’m working on thinking up a session – but about what, I have no idea. Or perhaps I have too many. I’m hoping to do something along the lines of tight criticism – something detailed and focused. And I’m not sure what sort of games to talk about yet. But I’ll work something out, and I’m looking forward to what the other participants will bring.
Like most events suffixed -camp, it’s going to sell out fast. Tickets are available from Monday April 21st. If you’re interested in coming, good luck getting one. It’ll be fun to see you – and if you’re interested, I’ll gladly corner someone for a game of Lost Cities…
