Hypertext 03 is later this month in Nottingham (see the programme). Ted Nelson's keynote looks interesting: "Science is supposedly about reality, not about tradition, conventions or constructs. Yet computer science seems to me wrongly centered around two traditional, conventional constructs: the simulation of hierarchy and the simulation of paper. [...] Hierarchy is wrong and insufficiently general". I'll be there.
