Live from PICNIC 2008

Just found the rest of the people I was supposed to visit PICNIC with. Will keep you posted on the presentations for this afternoon!

13:40

We went outside for a walk past several artists and designers presenting their work in tents. I had the privilige of listening to satellites using Yolande Harris' GPS headphones. At the moment we're taking a break at the waterside, since this afternoon's special will not begin for another twenty minutes.

Bi-directional websites

You will probably speak and write a language that's written left to right. In fact, most languages are written that way. I think it would be an accurate guess to say that a lot of software doesn't support bi-directional text, because it was developed in a Western country or at least a country where they use a left-to-right language. This is the cause for a relatively large problem: this kind of software is unusable. What can we do about it?
