Groove on

After some pain in getting Groove to work (related largely to Norton Personal Firewall I think) I finally got to try it out today with the help of Jeroen Bekkers who guided me around, literally.  Groove has both a shared browser (look at the same web pages together) and a shared navigation system that let Jeroen take me from tool to tool.  This is very powerful.

Despite some glitches which seem to be due to Jeroen's, shall we say, customised Groove client the whole session went very well and I shall now be looking for a real project to test this with.  Now if only it ran on a Mac!

Thanks Jeroen.

This is my line of death. You cross this line, you die!

Okay I've had a belly full of reading about the DCMA, the SSSSCA and the new EUCD.  I despair about the politicians of whom the most charitable thing that can be said about them is that they are clueless.  I despair that so many of them are on the take from big business.  I despair that vested interests are so rife and make me feel so helpless.

When the day comes that I have to get the software that runs on my computer approved by the Disney Corporation I shall turn it in.   I shall bury my computer in a hole in the ground and go do something else instead.
