RSS or RS, who cares!

Friday, October 12th, 2007

As the promised benefits of the much vaunted RFID set slowly below the horizon, one can’t help but wonder where this RSS will lead us. For the more alert (but not alarmed) among you, you will have noticed a new button thingy in amidst my links, and what a give away. My RSS feeds. Cameras and travel. Yes I know. I am tragic. Mon Dieu! it must be au revoir.

Libraries, Technology and Mobile Libraries

I have to spare a thought for the camel drivers of Kenya who will surely need some sort of solar array to power theirs when they next upgrade their service!
