Ken Leebow of the Blogging about Incredible Blogs fame has posted notes for his upcoming speech about, uh…well, blogging. These are in a form of nested bulletted lists with lots of links to other resources. Many aspects of blogging are covered, even those that aren’t that obvious. This is an excellent summary for those who wish to fill in the gaps in the understanding of the subject.

Bloglines went down
Bloglines went down. They had some problems with the database at first. They said that no data was lost, but some people just couldn’t login (like yours truly). They than returned back online. After a few hours they posted another notice saying that they need to replace some hardware which will cause another downtime. It looks like that “another downtime” had started a few minutes ago.

Prepare yourself for Kakomalis 2005
There are many names for the same event – Kakomalis 2005, KSP, Amateur Song Festival. Call it whatever name you want, but it still means the same thing. I am talking about a song festival which happens twice a year in Kakomalis, Cyprus. Roughly a 24-hour non-stop music show where everyone and anyone can participate.
The next festival will happen at the same place (map here) on the 1st of May 2005. Most of the information about it is in Russian, so you’ll have to ask for other languages separately. If you read Russian, than check the official website of the event, as well as this discussion at RussianCyprus Forum.
There’ll be all the usual stuff with lots and lots of music, food, games, and sporting activites. New addition this year is the photo exhibition. Once again – anyone can participate.
