As I think I said before, five of the eight sessions of the second day of Fronteers 2008 have been taped.

The videos are done now; you can watch them on the bachelor-ict site (these are the people who organised, and paid for, the actual taping).

On the front page you find short interviews with most of our speakers. The purple blocks say "Bekijk de presentatie", which means "View presentation", and you have to click on those links to access the actual presentations.

The presentations of Pete LePage, Raph de Rooij, Chris Heilmann and Stuart Langridge are available. In addition, you can watch the panel that Bruce Lawson and Vasilis van Gemert did on the homepage.

Happy watching.

I’d also like to ask you to participate in a little research project by spending two minutes of your time on checking whether your stat package or farm reports any Google Chrome hit. It should, by now. If it doesn’t, it’s likely broken or badly maintained.

This little test will allow us to distinguish between good and bad stat packages/farms.

Please participate. It takes about two minutes. Thanks.
