Business Two Zero

I’m pleased to report that next week’s London Wiki Wednesday will go ahead on August  1st,  kindly hosted by Japanese shipping company NYK, thanks to Alek Lotoczko.  They will be providing the venue, food, beer and wine for the evening.  It’s really great that NYK are hosting the evening - it’s a bit of a […]

Around about a month ago I started to hit problems with this Wordpress and Yahoo! Small Business based blog.  The problem seemed to occur initially when I had a deluge of spam comments that weren’t trapped by Akismet.   I won’t go in to all of the details, but I got mightily frustrated by two things.  […]

I mentioned on Friday that I’ll be writing the enterprisey stuff for blognation.  My part of the site launched last Monday, with an explanation of what we’re trying to achieve over there.  One of the key objectives is to highlight UK and European start ups and innovators.  I decided to make the first real item […]

As an ardent fan of the application of blogging and social media in business, it’s depressing to highlight an example of exactly how not to do it.

At the moment the web’s coverage of new technology and interesting […]

After being “spaced out” on the empty floor at Conchango last month, London Wiki Wednesday got “intimate” at BearingPoint’s London office in Paternoster Square.   I guess we had around 50 attendees, with a room designed for 30, but that just meant we had to be more friendly.  First I have to thank Andreas Rindler and […]

Over the last 2 months I’ve had a quite ridiculous sequence of problems with cars, PCs, Internet connections, blog and phones.  I don’t like to admit how superstitious I am, but if I listed them out you might start to suspect that someone, somewhere has a voodoo doll they are sticking pins in.  I’m pleased to […]

I’ve just gone through an enforced blogging hiatus of two weeks, which was painful to say the least. But I’m back on air, and looking forward to catching up.
Some sort of database corruption occurred on some tables, probably triggered by a PHP script falling over while moderating a minor deluge of SPAM comments.  I’m not […]
