Last week the entire Osmosoft team visited Paris to attend the LeWeb3 conference. Initially, we had intended to be attending simply as delegates, but as time went by, we decided that we might be able to build something handy to use at the conference, and that perhaps, others might find it useful too.
And so, RippleRap (then dubbed ‘TiddleLeWeb’) was conceived. We considered that building a tool based on TiddlyWiki where you could make notes on the conference and effortlessly share those notes with others, while being shielded from network hiccups, would be cool. To be ready, we had much to do, and little time to do it.

I recently attended the Future Of Web Apps (FOWA) conference at London’s ExCel and I’m feeling good. Although I have been developing web applications since the late nineties, I am new to the conference circuit and have been soaking this up.

Perfect blues skies and glorious sunshine made York racecourse look superb.

This weekend I was lucky enough to attend the wedding of two of my great friends, Simon and Helen. It was the first of many weddings arranged for this summer that I’ve been looking forward to.
The organisers of Wimbledon couldn’t secure good weather for their big event, but Simon and Helen were rather more fortunate. The weather was absolutely perfect and was the icing on the cake of a fabulous day.
The bride and groom were both totally relaxed and seemed to soak up every moment of the day, having fun and celebrating in grand style. Brilliant!
