Body language highlighted for emotion, gesture and dance These three animations are offered as a sample of exressions which HumanML can enhance by providing a standardization of vocabularies for emotion, kinesic gestures and dance which can be specified further for a particular culture. These kinds of uniquely "human" capabilities can be more easily expressed by using these vocabularies. All of these employ aspects of the Human Physical Characteristics Description Markup Language,
HPCDML, a key component covered in this

I'll have some screenshots for you soon but for now I can't help myself but blog about virtual mailboxes!
It's this awesome new feature in AfterMail v2 which enables you to use the approach not dissimilar to SQL views to select emails to display to an end-user according to criteria and integrated LDAP permissioning - the fact is this, the email is in a relational database and attachments are in a single instance file store as part of an email server as the archiving service (Exchange, Notes, Groupwise and others coming) - the result is an optimised datastore of an enterprise's email communications which can then be consumed by any device capable of having a SQL dialogue.
Very impressive and as far as I can tell the most effective email archiving solution in the marketplace, but heh! you could say I sell this and I would say that. What you don't know is the work behind the scenes we're doing using email intelligence, that is looking really sexy - if you want to know more and get involved in this space feel free to drop me a line with your details and we can see if there is something to discuss.
"More business decisions occur over lunch and dinner than at any other time, yet no MBA courses are given on the subject."

It's the invisible lubricant that propels the wheels of career and commerce. Social networking is one key competitive advantage that management gurus forgot to tell us about. Family and community ties, alumni associations, golfing buddies, former colleagues - they all add up to the pehchaan or jugaad factor that can open new doors. As Mitchell Kapor, founder of Lotus Development Corporation, once observed: "Inside every working anarchy, there's an Old Boy network."

To all my friends on all the weblogs and the friends I've yet to meet I'd like to bring your attention to what some of the business community is busy up to.
Before the advent of the internet it was pretty obvious academics understood and knew how to collaborate, share research, co-create and share the accolade and rewards where egos allowed of course ;-)
Right now social networking sites like those referred to in the article above are allowing business people to break down barriers and work together, egos are being left at the virtual 'door' and people are listening to each other, it's truly amazing to see this happening online as well. Petulance and frustration make way for curiosity and respect.
So, if besides being a .NET fan you happen to make business decisions I'd strongly suggest being a member of various networks such as www.soflow.com, www.openbc.com and www.LinkedIn.com because if you are not you may just end up missing out on better decisioning, support and nurture that these business people are providing each other for FREE!
For those who are truly inspired the software space is also interesting here as larger and more diverse communities demand more sophisticated features and thus this is very much a consumer lead market - many platforms are crafted from open source technologies such as Ecademy - so the opportunity is there - can you tap the business community or have you considered others :-)
