Hi!

On Monday, my presentation to the FCE group will be based around some
work that I did previously at Birmingham with Nick Drew (HyperSpace),
and some work I'm in the process of doing here at Tech with Anind Dey
(which for the moment I'll refer to as JavaMail).

HyperSpace
----------

This is a world-wide web visualisation system that will show a user
the hypertext structure of a series of web pages as they browse
through them. More info, and pictures, from:

JavaMail
--------

This is an email reader system that we are hoping to make some
useful extensions to, including, but not restricted to:

a) integrating with a calendar manager and contact database, for
a seamless "works" type environment

b) integration with useful searching, filing and retrieval
processes such as the Remembrance agent:

I'm looking forward to it!

Andy...
