Edd is going over Dashboard. It’s pre-alpha, runs under Linux in C# using Mono, and just all around rocks. I’m really impressed with the information that it snags when you go to one of Edd’s page.
It’s sort of like jibot for the rest of your computing life. It is absolutely brilliant. I’ve been looking at screenshots of it for quite some time, but Edd’s presentation makes me want to go through the trouble of installing it.
As usual, dajobe is logging everything with realtime IRC notes in #foaf. The notes are excellent as usual.
