I finally found the time to upload my pictures from the Gartner Best Practice Council end of October 2008 in Chantilly (close to Paris) on flickr.com and to embed them here.
Gartner.com organized a very nice venue and I have to say. The hotel “Chateau Mont Royal” was excellent and diner at “chez Françoise” just delicious (and this basically at a very attractive price).

I’m using plaxo.com to synchronize my phonebooks through all my PCs, different MACs and accounts like Google Apps. The solution,even though quite buggy a couple of years ago, works today like charme.
With the pulse stream you are even able to consolidate all your social network services within plaxo.
However I’m waiting impatiently for the announced 2-way-synchronization of my Google Account. Furthermore I never achieved to get my twitter.com implemented and hence synchronized.
Being a premium member, I made use of raising a ticket with some strange responses, the last being that everything is now working fine. Surprisingly the button to add twitter as a shared service is now completely gone. I hope people @plaxo.com are aware about this issue and will come back with a twitter solution pretty soon. If anyone does know about a workaround it would be great to see your solution posted in a comment to this article.
Update: Twitter issue seems to be solved now (04-10-2008).

The day after we didn’t find any hotel in Basel due to a large regional fair. My assistant made us an arrangement at the “Hotel Goldener Knopf” 20 km away from Basel in Bad Saeckingen, Germany.
Bad Saeckingen in Germany is separated from Switzerland’s village Stein by the river Rhine a lovely bridge. See below some pictures:

The Advent season starts today. While this picture tempts to convince that Christmas will be without Santa Claus this year, I’m still confident that the image is just a fake.
