Ben Unsworth points out that I haven’t installed the free and open source Caffeine on my Mac. How foolish of me.
Have rectified that and will amend the post at some point to include it.

My general take these days is that the local gov software market isn’t necessarily broken – it’s probably doing what it is supposed to do, i.e. behaving like a market. The issues are symptoms of wider problems, largely lack of capability and capacity on the buy side.
Some interesting notes on the issues around the software market for local government.
Really helpful stuff from Jason Kitcat at the Department for Business and Trade on matrix working.
As part of my accidental blogging break this year, I also didn’t open my news reader (yes I am old school). This means I currently have over 8,000 unread articles in NetNewsWire (I told you I was old school). I probably ought to mark all as read and start over, but there’s bound to be some good stuff in there that I don’t want to miss.
So I will scan it all a bit every day and pick out some gems, and post them here for posterity.
