Trust not compatible? Try with other cameras
From your previous post # it is most probable that the Trust webcam is not supported on MacOS X. You can ask Tania Tsiridou to give you my Sony Playstation EyeToy webcam from the Studio, or borrow my other USB webcam. IZ Fri, June 19 ‘09, 02:56 PM

Gestus Ning: English Version.
Iani, I was thinking to keep the language on Gestus (Ning, Pmwiki and generally in all web versions) in English. It will be helpful for non-Greek people that might want to check my work on Gestus. For example: Bennett Hogg or Scot Wilson. What do you think..? I have already translated all the WPs (Work Packages). So its not a big deal to replace the current text with the English one, after you...

Keeping a separate general log
Strato, this is on the verge of being too pedantic, but I believe in the end it creates conceptual clarity in your work that can be beneficial: Keep in the gestus-tumblelog only those entries that refer to progress in the dissertation project. Focus here on the content of the work achieved. For example: “Continued translation of dissertation proposal. Worked on chapter 2:  Methodology....

Retro-dating your tumblelog entries
Strato, you can set the date of a tumblelog entry to appear in the past by going to advanced options panel at the right of the entry as you are editing it, and entering a date in the field “Date this post”.

Correcting the calendar of Gestus ning
Στράτο, έτσι όπως έβαλες τα events πιάνουν όλες τις μέρες στο calendar view. Επίσης αυτό θα έχει ακόμη χειρότερες επιπτώσεις στον τρόπο που δείχνονται τα events στο list view, γιατι θα αποτρέπει να φαίνονται πρώτες οι ημερομηνίες της αρχής και του τέλους των διαφόρων πακέτων. Γιαυτό προτείνω να βάλεις μονο τις ημερομηνίες αρχής και τέλους κάθε πακέτου με διάρκεια μόνο μια μέρα. Στην ημερομηνία...

research tips for multi-touch surface construction
Strato first: Good work with the pmwiki, ning and tumbler. I like the tumblr integration on the gestus ning.

I am certain it will contribute to the impact and quality of your work. You should add some more pages on the gestus ning to...

Το συνήθησα και δέν θέλω να το αφήσω … Όμως πιστεύω ότι πρέπει να συνεχίσουμε να δοκιμάσουμε το ning πολύ πιθανό να μας αρέσει αυτό ακόμα περισσότερο όταν το συνηθίσουμε.  Θα αρχίσω χρήση και θα σου...

ok with studio report
Cygnus, excellent work with the studio report. In general that’s a good way to organize reports, also in research work. Very soon we should create such structures on the wiki sites for each project so that we can organize the reporting there. Often this will be done by copy-pasting from Tumblr.
