Is the Holy Threefold a good translation for this Chapel? Walking in these mountains and coming across this unexpexted design was special. This post is pubished with my HTC Tynt II, including the pictures, straight from the ski slopes of Werfenweng in Austria. Mobile internet supplies me with uptodate news, mail and search options.

It must be a great feeling to throw yourself in the deep, knowing those pieces of cloth carry you. Pulling the strings is a lifesaving thing. The closest i have been to a medical information issue this week, was having a peak into an ambulance used to transport unlucky or plain stupid wintertourists ;-] They seem pretty well organised in Werfenweng .The radio tells there are already more then 5 deaths in Austria related to skiing....

So far wonderful weather, good snow and good people. And somehow I had to think about Oliver...

This week the new NLM Toolbar blog went live at: http://nlmtoolbars.blogspot.com The NLM Toolbars project is created by Digicmb to improve the awareness about, to show and to promote the great resources of the largest medical library in the world, for the general public ánd medical librarians. It is using the Conduit software. The toolbar can be downloaded for Firefox and IE. See the Toolbars Features and Help file Short demo movie By installing the NLM Toolbar a range of other toolbars become available to toggle between. They are "grouped" in the NLM Toolbar to save browser window space.

Offering widgets to users on a Netvibes Universe page is pretty cool, but Netvibes doesn't show up front that people can add them to many other platforms too. You have to click to the detailed widget-page in the eco-netvibes.com page to see what's possible! Right now the UWA-modules can be added to: Netvibes, Mac, IPhone, Ipod Touch, Opera Vista, Windows Live and Yahoo widgets. They also promise to provide native social support for many social networks SOON as there are an OpenSocial Launch partner I was already thinking about how to offer the "Add To" option inside our own university webplatform, but a very good long talk with Delphine Khanna, from Penn Libraries cleared that up. She talked about & showed me their developments with PennVibes, including a widget that had this "Add To"-option embedded with a drop-down menu. I will talk more about my talk with Delphine later ;-). But at that point I decided that my UWA widgets HAD to had some kind ...

It is becoming fun to create my own RSS-feeds with Feed43. It takes some experimenting, but in the end the result looks fine with me. In my netvibes universe Tab "The Most Used" they look ok with me, but once included in a Toolbar, the urls seem to be malformed. If somebody can tell me why... I'd be pretty grateful. In this blog they show ok too. See them at: http://feed43.com/users/digicmb Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: Powered by FeedBurner
