Tried to give some looove to this blog, found problem with Disqus

I’ve been quite inactive blogging because of work commitments. To try to spice up the blog a bit, I installed the Disqus plug-in. The concept of centralizing comments into an specialized service is great. Unfortunately it is eating some of the older comments, so I had to put it on hold.

The image below shows the WordPress dashboard with 115 comments

And this one shows the Disqus dashboard with only 87.

It looks like other people have the same issue.

Do you know how to fix it? If so, please drop me a comment.

Transmilenio – a world-class example of appropriate technology

It is refreshing to see when developed countries take note and learn from the success stories of developing countries. In particular, Transmilenio, Bogota’s Rapid Transit System, is an example of what E.F. Schumacher called “Appropriate Technology”

Michael Bloomberg, New York City’s mayor writes on The Economist

…we drew on the experiences of Berlin for our renewable-energy and green-roof policies; Hong Kong, Shanghai and Delhi for our innovative transit improvements; Copenhagen for our pedestrian and cycling upgrades; Chicago and Los Angeles for our plan to plant 1m more trees; Amsterdam and Tokyo for our transit-oriented development policies; and Bogotá for our plans for Bus Rapid Transit
