During the time I have been ‘away’ from the blog, I haven’t been keeping up with the comment moderating very well. Apologies to anyone who’s comments haven’t appeared yet, I will get it sorted out, at some point…

I changed my mind on FeedDemon. It’s just too damn good. Especially now I use BlogJet, too. It’s simply a case of dialling-up (no boradband at the moment 🙁 ) and downloading all my feeds, then reading them at my…

Not if his blog is anything to go by. Full of interesting information on getting published. One recent highlight was In Search of the Perfect Computer Book: I’m going out on a limb here to say that the “perfect” computer book…

Still catching up. Couple of linked and interesting posts on the Vaspers the Grate blog. Firstly: You are not a Blog. The problem is that some bloggers think a blog is a means of self-expression, that a blog is a…

I used to work in the same building as Tony Finch who has a blog on LiveJournal here, though we never met. He is remarkable, I am sure, for many things, but the one tat stands out is his email address,…

From Buzz Marketing with Blogs: Google’s Blogger Stumbles InfoWorld’s reporting that Google’s Blogger faces performance problems.  Interestingly, Infoworld got the story how? Because Blogger blogged about it. We have a client who uses Blogger, and has been having issues updating her…

From The Guardian: The strange case of the homosexual necrophiliac duck pushed out the boundaries of knowledge in a rather improbable way when it was recorded by Dutch researcher Kees Moeliker. It may have ruffled a few feathers, but it…

Not much happened over the weekend, spent a lot of time helping out with the Elmcroft Associates website. Other than that, didn’t get near the computer at the weekend. Plenty of stuff to catch up on…

From Scoble. 1) Make sure the “brand” you’re building in people’s heads matches what you actually want people to think about. 2) To have something go viral, you actually need to do something that will make people talk. Games that…

The first chapter and table of contents for a new book, Buzz Marketing with Blogs for Dummies (slightly awkward title) by Susannah Gardner is available for download from Buzz Marketing with Blogs. It makes for interesting reading. Traditional business marketing…

Good article by Bill Thompson on the BBC Technology News Site. The political classes will be surprised indeed if the next General Election doesn’t take place on 5 May. In fact Tony Blair might even lose votes if he disappoints…

I can’t tell you how pleased I am to have said something bordering on the truly reactionary. Is Boris trying to get back in Michael Howard’s good books? Still, a lengthy and serious post from Boris which shows that he…

Is now online.

In that it stopped. Sorry. Was playing with my new toy: It’s pretty good. It can send emails, which is great, and means I can post to this blog on the move. Using Flickr I can even post pictures straight…
