Me, Myself and Mayvelous
13 May
Just pop in to say, I’m back in Fiji and will be posting about Bali trip soon. For now I’m just resizing the photos and uploading a few on Flickr. Flickr keeps screwing up my uploads, it’s just not uploading well at all. Tried direct upload from the web as well as using the Flickr Uploadr but still not working as it should be. May be their server’s over heated, I’ll try again later.
It was very tiring yet very informational trip for me. Met lots of new faces and enjoyed talking with a few. Some of the discussions in the conference were very heated and too advance for me to understand but it was a good listening and enjoyed taking notes. I took a few videos of the parallel sessions but not sure whether to upload them online or not. May be not.
The conference was not really for me (actually almost none at all) but I’m glad to have attended such event and enjoyed my new found experiences. We couldn’t get to visit anywhere, not even to Bali town, except a day trip to Yogakarta. No shopping nor swimming for me. There are lots of beautiful swimming pools in the resort and the lovely beach in front but I couldn’t even dip my feet in there due to very short stay and very tight/packed schedules.
So sad.
Anyhow, now I’m back and catching up news and feeds on my GReader and twitter; a lot happened while I was a way for a week. Gosh I couldn’t even leave my eyes away from you for a bit and now see what happen! There goes Nargis, Nargis, Nargis and Myanmar, Myanmar, Myanmar almost every news feeds (I see Mong done a GREAT job covering the news on GV, many thanks) and now it’s China earthquake, earthquake. Geez the world is such a mess! Alright stay calm, don’t worry, I’m back so everything will be alright and stay tune with mayvelous. (Yah right! hehe) My bad, I shouldn’t be making jokes as serious things happening all over the world, but then laughter is the best medicine sometimes right?

Who included a screenshot of Global Voices in their presentation?
Bali looks nice… The hotel looks nice too.. The pool looked too good to swim in.
GV was brought up during a presentation and in a few parallel sessions. That slide is one of the three GV screenshot slides used by Ms Julie Starr of New Zealand. She contacted me via Twitter and asked about GV and my blog.
Her presentation was on “The new Players” talking about how she as journalist make use of new technology such as twitter, facebook, blog and the like. My blog screen shot was also included in one of her slides and I was introduced as one of the twitterers she knows from the participants. I’m glad that I can quickly take a shot of the slide but unfortunately I couldn’t take a photo with her. My battery gone flat.
I later thanked her for featuring GV in her presentation.
I think there are 3 participants who link to GV also attended the conference. One of them, Isaac Mao from China, talked about new technologies that chinese bloggers make use to communicate and on that talk, he mentioned GV as well.
