Thanks to Scott Hanselman for the netsh tip. ipconfig sucks.

Bjarne Stroustrup's FAQ is an interesting read.

Consumer development for Logitech io2 and Anoto pens in general

Is there anyone out there developing any consumer/end-user stuff for the io2 pen or Anoto pens in general? And documenting it on the internet? Blogs, sites or newsgroups?

The only source i've found (except the user forums at Logitech) are Scott Hanselman's posts at his blog and Coding4Fun.

Logitech io2 Pen - .NET Support
Blogging with the Logitech io2 Digital Pen

I've you know anyone else (privately) working with the io2 (or any other Anoto pen) add a comment please!

Congratulations to Jens and his friends at Oxeye that won second place in the Swedish Game Awards 2007!

Audio Notebook

Thanks to DocBug I found an interesting link to the Audio Notebook system by Lisa Stifelman at the Media Lab. I had never heard about it and thought Livescribe's idea was completely original. Anyway I got inspired to do my own interpretation of this concept and I'll try to do some mockups in the near future do display here and hopefully some applications later on that are actually runnable together with my Logitech io2 pen. The concept is (obviously) do use the io2 for notes recording and then sync it with the built in mic (or webcam mic) on a pc and then present it in some fabulous application where speed and simplicity are the cornerstones. (And extendability to other devices so that I can just plug in the smartpen from Livescribe when it arrives!)

Tech News May edition

Alright! Quite a few interesting news items last month. Top of the list is of course the Steve Jobs and Bill Gates interview at the D5 conference, absolutely fascinating to listen to these guys! And since I'm an old Anoto guy the Livescribe presentation (also at D5) ranks of course second to that. Since Anoto are concentrating on forms processing nowadays (which is a good idea I think) and Logitech are doing absolutely nothing with the io2 product I guess it's up to Livescribe to finally take digital pens to the people! They seem to have an excellent product so I guess it's all up to marketing now... (but I do think that it would have been better with buttons on the pen to control playback instead of paper controls, the paper controls for pen properties and address books we experimented on at Anoto was always stupid). And then there were the presentation of Microsoft Surface. The interface for accessing digital data stored in devices takes it to another level than existing technologies like Perceptive Pixel. Check out the Popular Mechanics article as well. And since this is my first tech blog I must mention Microsoft Silverlight also even though it is old news now. Check out the blogs by Jim Hugunin and John Lam for all kinds of information, including the new DLR and stuff like IronPython! Silverlight will rule!
