Cool, elearning design challenge is back with a new one and it’s a bit off the wall this time: “Your water utility company has invited you to design something for its website or a public-access kiosk to convince people to conserve water and abide by the restrictions.” More eCommunications challenge I think but well worth …
Thanks to everyone who suggested different multi-id IM tools (for XP) yesterday, have had a chance (in between regular Saturday stuff :o) to play around with a few of them and have some initial thoughts on the four different possibilities: , Jabber (using psi as a client), Miranda and Gaim.

Now that is fascinating (and also very nice :O) Cleve has blogged his experience of this mornings presentation and puts what I’m saying across just as well / better than I did I think!
