Today we published 2 new pages on the Electronest website:
Electronest Aggregated and Electronic Presence.
Both are resulting from frustration; Electronest Aggregated allow visitors to have a more global perception of our different website (there’s still tons of work to be done to make the experience smoother). Electronic Presence will be used as a ressource page on the concept of Electronic Presence.

A very interresting set of radio show on BBC about the creation of CERN; CERN happens to be also the place where World Wide Web has been invented, incidentally when one of the laboratory needed to access informations dispatched on many different computers - from then Gopher quickly got replaced. History will ever remember Sir Tim Berners Lee. It quickly has been legally declared Public Domain - CERN could then not claim ownership but nobody else either.
There’s a very nice part of it which summarize quite perfectly the generosity behind the open source, and its root one can still find in the Science community.
I quite love this quote: Francis Farley
This [the Internet] usefull thing was a totally unexpected byproduct; you cannot plan the usefull part of science. What you can only do is to support the right guys let them do what they think is important - and out of that will come usefull applications

It’s a new way of managing files. Or rather not manage files. Currently it’s a cross between a calendar and a file browser with labels. It’s a free/open source GTK application written in C#.
