TBL in Melb
So I was lucky enough to hear the highly regarded Tim Berners-Lee speak here in Melbourne today. In fact, it's kinda neat that I have his name hyper-linked in the previous sentence. His talk covered openness of data and the Aaron Swartz story. I wanted to ask a few questions, but I held off. I wanted to know what browser he uses, and what are the content/site(s) he has loaded-up in his browser. I also wanted to ask if he composes html-formatted email (a sure sign of the devil). Anyways, that's it for this post.

Maybe you can contact him on the world wide web.
ReplyDeleteI heard him at LCA. TBL's keynote was an incoherent stream of half-finished sentences said twice, punctuated by enough ands and buts to make up the time. Easily the worst I've heard in 8 years of LCA. That he did an incredible thing once doesn't mean he's worth listening to today.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe this guy charged $200k for his AU/NZ tour. Can't believe one of the sponsors pulled out, leaving an individual (Pia Waugh) to shell out $20k of her own money in order to guarantee his appearance. Sigh.
