FOWA London'08 was awesome, the speakers were great, the audience was likewise. Now, shortly some impressions from day one (waiting for the videos of day two to be posted online):
The Future of News (Kevin Rose, digg) was interesting, I could not help not to merge it in my head with Oliver Reichenstein's Future of News.
Languages don't scale (Blaine Cook, ex Chief Engineer at Twitter & Joe Stump, digg) was funny and insightful. Later Blaine Cook explained how XMPP can "save" REST (Colliding Worlds: Using Jabber to make awesome web sites).
Tim Bray gave a very motivational speech, I twittered it almost all (I wonder how many followers I lost in the process):
Other things to follow when the videos will be available.
Interesting things spotted around: howsociable.com (from inunda.com), Swirrl.com, Zembly.com, and flexiscale.com cloud computing thing (with which I'm playing right now).
Yes, I'm (finally) about to change the blog, template, engine, etc. I spent too much time designing a template, now as I finally reached a conclusion I'm going to write the engine behind it. It will be based on NetKernel and Talis Platform. Watch this space.
And to make things easier/incremental, as I was today at London Microformats vEvent, I'll use for feeds hAtom and hAtom2Atom.
