I have been really disappointed with TWIT lately. It seems i often no more about a given topic via techmeme & digg then they do. I looked forward to the Gilmore gang each week and my 2 hour train ride into work each day isn't the same! IT conversations has also let me down lately...not sure what is going on over their. The quality and frequency hasn't been the same for some time. I couldn’t agree with you more! I have been really disappointed with TWIT lately.

Ah, well, in worst case it will be simple to add a feature of "after x years this and that property of such object shall be set to xxxx)"!

There are specific requirements about destroying data you have gathered after a certain length of time. I just wish I knew more about them so I could make sure I was building them into my systems.

Actually what I suggest handles any Data Protection Act better than the legacy method of documenting the events as those are focused on the actor (often human) and what he "does". Object driven is focusing on the object of interest for the organisation, (almost) never a human. Even in a hospital the objects of interest are virtual objects like conditions, in service organisations issues and so forth. Thus the capture of data will be limited to who and when somebody interacted with the object of interest. And that cannot ever be limited by such laws as it would counter a very basic part of society - accountability! So not only better (I argue) re. Data Protection Act but also SOX, Basel II etc etc compliant per design ;) Mike, aha!

The post over there (http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2005/11/the_zen_estheti.html) is pretty interesting as the more I think about it, Steve Jobs is a great great salesman and Bill is a geek at heart who is better at just talking then ever trying to sell IMHO. hi mike - interesting about the hand in pocket thing as Presentation Zen marks this out as a real “no-no” in their comparison of BillG and Steve Jobs (though on this specific topic they show Ray Ozzie).

It could be a killer app in the right hands. It could be a consultant’s swiss army knife. It is an SMB’s dream: to be able to change processes on the fly and have a framework that can facilitate, communicate, and implement new workflows across entire organizations.
