But I just discovered today if you select text on the page before tagging with the new Del.icio.us firefox plugin, it adds the selected text as the note field.

Very Nice.

I’ve been adding people to my del.icio.us network without really know why or understanding it for the past while. So today I actually clicked on the link and finally copped on.

Its an RSS feed of all the links these people post, doh!

Anyway I’ve added it to bloglines, so thanks Conor (argolon), James (eirepreneur), Justin (jm), John (johnkeyes), Damien (mulley) and Walter (walterh).

Keep ‘em coming…

For all you good people out there (you know who you are) who use this hack to create a daily posting of your del.icio.us links, stop it, please stop it!

If I want to see your del.icio.us links I’ll subscribe to your del.icio.us RSS feed or add you to my network.

Enterprise Ireland has just circulated copies of the presentations made at the recent Web 2.0 conference at DCU.I’ve taken the liberty of converting these to HTML and providing them here.

• Judy Gibbons, Accel Partners,

• Web 2.0, The Virtuous Circle

• Digital Lifestyle Aggregators (Mark’s talk didn’t really have a title)

• Web 2.0, Key Factors for Success

• Web 2.0, The Investors Perspective

• Web 2.0, The Exits

In addition to the speakers the following Irish companies made presentations regarding their businesses.

• Herbert Street Technologies - Encryption Technology for Business
• InnerWorkings - Briefing to Web 2.0 Ireland Conference

Apologies if I got the ordering of the Irish companies wrong, but I an working from memory.

If any of the original authors would prefer not to have their content hosted here, drop me a line and I’ll remove it.

James Trevelyan writes cogently on why Robots are not an appropriate solution for landmine clearance. Readers will be aware of my previous post on this topic where I proposed a robotic solution. Well James well and truely sank my boat with his excellent analysis of why robots won’t work, then in the last paragraph he gives me renewed hope,

Sandia Laboratories and some other groups are working on highly sensitive chemical sniffers which could develop into devices to be carried by robots into unknown areas to see whether there are residual traces of explosive vapour. Dogs can also be used in this context - the MEDDS system used in South Africa for instance - see the US Army Website.

Here are some other relevant links from James’s website,

• General overview on Demining research
• Common myths about demining
• An excellent paper on robotics in general with some significant detail on a robot that could successfully shear sheep

Del.icio.us has added a network feature that allows you to add users you know to your network. Then you get to add their links to your del.icio.us cloud.
