Not forgotten...

Yes yes, it’s been a while. But with finishing off work on an eLearning game, getting it trialed & tested on the unsuspecting minds of UHL’s Medical students, poster presentations & starting new work running a busy A&E department in the city centre - I’ve slipped.

But then I think this is what is always destined to happen. I spend ages wanting to write about things but get side-tracked with something new and glitsy I just have to try out. One such thing is the addition of Apture to my site.

This is a cool script you add to your site and allows you to enter an awful lot of rich media straight to the web page. I see it as a great reference linking tool that you can edit to include many differing resources like Wikipedia, YouTube and Flickr a browser can click scan over without needing to leave the site. Not that you’re a prisoner here of course ;¬)

Try it out yourself. It’s damn useful and makes the sensible evolution of conventional off-linking to content.

If I’m not swamped again, you’ll soon be hearing of my plans for a pervasive computing solution to many time-critical systems (i.e. running a busy A&E). The project is largely influenced by many real-time social networking tools available *cough*twitter*cough*

Why is it I can think of a great business model for Twitter, but they can’t? Have they ever thought of taking their API and creating an enterprise version? I’ll just leave it hanging there…
