Starting with Monday I had a interesting meeting with Manon. Former information architect and early explorer in the unfolding 'cyberspace' of the 90s she is now in charge of the "webproject". Back than Maastricht University was known as University of Limburg for which Manon created the first website. In our talk about my impression and her experience it became clear that the problem faced by today is not significantly different from the one she faced. But the means have changed drastically in the last decade. Spending the rest of the day on stupid copy paste work I found some time to engage in a discussion on facebook about wikileaks. This is the 18th day since the media storm surrounding a platform and its founder has swirreld around the global media-echo-chamber.
Thuesday was Department website day and it is going fine. Little input from departments ensure that I have enough freedom to move around things at will. The major hurdles are overcome but new appeared on the horizon. F.e. I created a page with the intention to share its content with participants. But unfortunately the content managment system is configured as to deny access from outsite MaasNet. A surprise but nothing that cannot be detested. The machine easily masters the grim. Another aspect was to edit the interview with Youp van ‘t Hek. The video isn't online yet but SSF allowed me to announce it when refering to their youtube channel. It was a fun exercise in nostalgia.
Wednesday was a day in GX and I remembered that I shoud write more about my experience with this CMS. Another talk with the people behind the maastrichtstudents.nl blogging plattform. This would take another post.
... Yes and the Santa was at the office!
