Today I'm trying something and I'm not sure it's a good idea (yet).

I have decided to write my eBook with Google Sites rather than with OpenOffice. Why ? So I can switch computer and share my draft with friends. The idea is to work in two phases : work on the content until I'm happy and than have a formatting only issue.

Is it a good idea ? Not sure yet...

The Pros :

• I can share it
• I can publish it in one click and people online can read it
• People who have access can comment

The cons :

•  I'll have to copy it all back from Google Sites to OpenOffice... and/or something else to create a PDF or an ePub or a file for Amazon DTP... And it's a LOT of work...
  

Last weekend we did De Gordel. A bicycle tour in Flanders around Brussels. We did 118.86 KM in 6h10. 19,23 Average Speed.

This morning I read a good article about the pro and cons of the iPad (see What I love - and what I hate - about iPad | BetaTales http://bit.ly/cltESi).

One of the good thoughts of this article is that an iPad is a personal device. Once an iPad is configured (email, twitter, facebook...), you don't want to give it to someone else as he would immediately have access to your 'secrets'.

This stresses once again the lack of security features on such devices.  In the future tablets will come with a multi-user login screen as on PCs. This will also make a process easier : the "rooting" or "jail-breaking" of your device. Logging in as 'root' will make it easier to configure the tablet. Having a real super-user access to a device that you own will become a real plus, especially for "enterprise" configurations for which apps aren't to be found in the App Store...

Note that Google, with Chrome OS has got it right. After you have signed out of your Google account, you could give the device to someone else who would just have to sign-in to have access to HIS information.

In August this year (2010) we attended a lot of shows:
