ID; in the first 3 characters of a file is the signature for a SYLK file. The fourth character can be a P, N or an E which flags certain information about how the rest of the file should be processed.

It was a wonderful Friday here at Arck Interactive. We were officially approved as a development vendor for the World Bank. Starting next week, we’ll be developing custom social networking functionalty to improve the information architecture of their internal Elgg-based social network.
Everyone always asks what are the biggest or best known organisations using Elgg. World bank is the answer! That's a great reference for Elgg and Arck Interactive. Congrats!
Turku is the European capital of culture 2011. The city is already full of slogans related to that year but this one must be my favourite. This one was in the toilet at the Corner 2011, the Capital of Culture Info.
Tärkeintä on saada parantaa omaa osaamistaan ja toteuttaa mielekkäitä asioita hyvien työkaverien yhteisössä, jossa on reilu ja avoin ilmapiiri.
Tueksi halutaan reilu esimies, mutta pomotusta ei siedetä. Entistä itsetuntoisempi sukupolvi ei kyräile esimiestä, vaan odottaa häneltä lähikontaktia, palautetta ja hengen luomista.
Joustoa vaaditaan ja itsekin siihen ollaan valmiita. Kynnys vaihtaa työpaikkaa on matala, mikäli työpaikan arvot eivät miellytä, vaikka palkka laskisi.
Ihan kuin olisin itse vastannut Akavan Erityisalojen asennetutkimukseen, voin allekirjoittaa edellä olevat väitteet täysin.
Työhön pitää suhtautua suurella sydämellä. Aina omista kiinnostuksen kohteista kertominen esimiehelle tai johdolle ei ole kuitenkaan helppoa, ja se aiheuttaa helposti leipiintymistä. Onneksi on olemassa yrityksille suunniteltuja järjestelmiä, joissa tämäkin on huomioitu. Hyvänä esimerkkinä tietysti xTune (https://xtune.fi/ ), jossa käyttäjät voivat motivoivalla tavalla arvioida oman osaamisen lisäksi myös omaa kiinnostusta.
This is my office for this week. My main tasks for the week are finishing Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving and riding hundreds of kilometres on my Vespa. What a busy week!
The Socialist Group in European Parliament website's audience has doubled because of Twitter
"The Alliance & Progressive Socialist Democrats in the European Parliament website's audience has doubled in one year, because of Twitter" said Tony Robinson, head of the Internet Unit for this Parliamentary Group in Strasbourg during the European e-Democracy Award presentation for the 2009.
I guess that's good proof of the power (and the hype) of Twitter. But I was wondering are politicians really able to say something in only 140 characters? And think about it, what else could social media do to democracy and politics? Shouldn't politics be as open and social as possible?
The Gift of Knowledge
WikiReader bridges you, your family, and friends with the world of knowledge. It's a great gift for people of all ages and lifestyles.
If my nephews were any older, I would defenitely know what to get for Christmas. This looks like a simple and easy to use device for anyone.
Think about the potential this device has! No electricity, wifi or 3g required, and at 99$ it's very affordable. Who will be the first to start a "Donate a WikiReader" campaign.
Before getting to the developments for this week, I want to communicate some things that have been said on the mailing lists and community site but not announced to the general public. Elgg 1.7 replaces 1.6.2 as the next released version of Elgg. This decision was made because the changes required to fix some of the bugs are inappropriate for a bugfix release. The tentative date for 1.7 is the end of November.
I was really waiting for the bug fixes promised in 1.6.2 but I guess this is understandable. What I don't like is the fact that 1.6.2 was supposed to be released already at the end of September.
