The Answer Is 42

Posted on 17 June, 2005
by Ton Zijlstra

From Douglas Adams’ book the Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy, I know the answer is 42. Last week at Reboot I found out that this equation might be the question…

The man presenting is Nicolai Peitersen.

About


Blog Interdependent Thoughts maintained since 2002 by Ton Zijlstra.
European citizen in a networked world. Based in the Netherlands, living in Europe, working globally. There are no Others. There is just me and many of you.

I write about how our digital and networked world changes how we work, learn, decide and organize. I explore the tools and strategies that help us navigate the networked world. I am passionate about increasing people's ability to act (knowledge), and their ability to change (learning). Key-words: open data, open government, fablabs, making, complexity, networked agency, networked learning, ethics by design.

    • Federated Bookshelves Revisited Some thoughts on sharing reading lists, as federated bookshelves with opml/rss
  • April 24, 2020
    • Federated Bookshelves Tom Critchlow last week wrote about a decentralised format for shareable bookshelves he came up with. I like the concept, it’s like the FOAF of old but for books, BOAF maybe? Like he mentions in the updates, while providing JSON is probably more fitting technology for the now, there is a world of RSS and […]
    • RSVPed Attending Gardens and Streams: Wikis, blogs, and UI — a pop up IndieWebCamp session This sounds like a good conversation to have. I have been and am experimenting with the blog / wiki combination basically since the start of this blog. And I dislike the disconnect between that and my note taking system, as […]
    • Favorited Shop local to fuel the Open Source dividend by Dries Buytaert Dries describes the ‘shop local’ equivalent for open source, and how he and his company are experimenting with promoting that. Also mentions as example two organisations who make open source contributions part of the procurement requirements. Supporting Makers more than Takers. In the […]

    • Suggested Reading: GDPR, Fintech, China and more Some links I think worth reading today. ICANN struggles with the GDPR for the WHOIS database, and has now run out of time:EFF: GDPR forces ICANN to improve WHOIS andEFF: Privacy as afterthought at ICANN Facebook removes 1.5 billion users from EU jurisdiction while maintaining they’re totally committed to applying the ‘spirit’ of the GDPR […]
    • GDPR as De Facto Norm: Sonos Speakers Just received an email from Sonos (the speaker system for streaming) about the changes they are making to their privacy statement. Like with FB in my previous posting this is triggered by the GDPR starting to be enforced from the end of May. The mail reads in part We’ve made these changes to comply with […]
    • Facebook GDPR Changes Unimpressive It seems, from a preview for journalists, that the GDPR changes that Facebook will be making to its privacy controls, and especially the data controls a user has, are rather unimpressive. I had hoped that with the new option to select ranges of your data for download, you would also be able to delete specific […]

    • Big Data for Malaysia and ASEAN This week I was invited to Malaysia as one of 8 members of the advisory panel on big data to the Malaysian government. The meeting was part of the Big Data Week taking place in Kuala Lumpur where I gave two presentations and was part of a panel discussion. Malaysia intends to become a big […]

    • Microlearning Conference and BlogWalk 8 Sebastian Fiedler is busy trying to organize a BlogWalk meeting in Innsbruck on June 25th 2005. This on the day after the Microlearning Conference in the same city, which takes place on June 23rd and 24th. It certainly looks like a great conference also from a KM and social software viewpoint. Are you going to […]
    • Blognomics, a much needed event Finally the Netherlands has seen it’s first symposium on the use of weblogs. Drawing a mixed crowd of journalists, politicians, business people and of course bloggers, Blognomics was a succes to my eyes. Have a look at Technorati for impressions, in words, video and pictures. I will upload my pictures to Flickr. I have written […]
    • Blognomics (Deze blogpost publiceerde ik oorspronkelijk op de site van mijn werkgever, en heb ik in 2021 aan het archief hier toegevoegd.) Tijdens de TINE afgelopen week in de Rai vond het middagsymposium Blognomics plaats. Dit evenement, georganiseerd door Guido van Nispen, Krijn Schuurman en anderen bracht een grote groep mensen uit de wereld van media, […]
