Empty Blog? No – the ZEN of working
by jcf. Average Reading Time: about a minute.
Just noticed that my blog has been empty for a couple of days. I have been so busy during the last couple of weeks, that everything else in my life has taken a seat on the backseat. It’s a pleasure to work for 12 hours in a stretch, fully concentrated, no distraction necessary or allowed. The “being in the zone” for so long time is an experience that I haven’t had for years. It’s extremely satisfiying and I wonder how long it will last…
The new Personal Groupware we are working on, is coming along nicely. I’m working with two exteremely talented people and it’s a joy to build something with them.
I have been heads down designing, coding, building and ZAPPATA will soon be ready for internal consumption. Raphaël, Matthias and I have a common vision of how people can collaborate in the future (that’s the “Personal Groupware” tag we have given our new venture). It’s exciting to see how a vision is turning into reality so fast.
And – as added benefit, I have learnt a lot about Java, Atom, XML parsing and writing, and so on. Very rewarding, very fun, very exciting.
Stay tuned for more information

I am intrigued; the phrase “personal groupware” is oxymoronic, but in a good way. And the website is empty.
I await your unvieling with a quantity of anticipation.
So all of the goals we had with slogan and website have been reached ;-)
Yes – we know it’s empty.
I can throw a bit more information around: P2P, Semantic Web, Social Software.
More will be unveiled shortly.
