Inter-Phlog Communication, Conference and Gopher
To [1]daphne:
You realise I'm reading this, right? :p
You realise I expected you to read it, right? ^-^
And yes, I agree with [2]your opinion about the charm of phlogosphere
being people daring to also show darker thoughts and aspects of life!
It definitely feels more real than other parts of the Intarnets, where
selling Trumps saying. (Pardon the pun.)
__________________________________________________________________
Last year, I agreed on being chairman for a [3]conference held coming
June at my workplace. I'm representing our lab at a [4]professional
organization promoting academia-business collaborations concerning
micro- and nanotechnology. It's full of (at least domestically) big
names in the domain, and I'm feeling quite small among them, but there
is a saying you should always try to be around people better and bigger
than yourself, if you want to improve. So I'm running this experiment,
so to say...
The conference website is running on Wordpress, an interactive app will
be available, and we're considering using a Twitter handle for
announcements. All stuff I personally dislike, but if you're providing
services, you have to cater to your client's requirements, I guess.
Of course I was thinking about how cool it would be to have the
information "gopherized," but I'm hesitating because Gopher _is_
exotic. But still, it would be nice if I could find a cheap way (from
the workload viewpoint) to set up a Gopher mirror of the website's
content and convince my colleagues to give it a try.
