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 […]

Back blogging

by @ Sunday, July 22nd, 2007. Filed under Blogging

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.  […]

FreeAgent - an ideal solution for contractors

by @ Thursday, July 19th, 2007. Filed under Web 2.0, Accounting

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 […]

Corporate blogging and PR - the fake and the crap

by @ Saturday, July 14th, 2007. Filed under Marketing, Blogging, Social Software, Environment / Ethics / Corporate Responsibility

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. Unfortunately the culprit is Debbie Weil, well known in the industry for writing “The Corporate Blogging Book“. To follow the story, you can read the start of the […]

The future of digital image display technology - Seadragon and PhotoSynth

by @ Friday, July 13th, 2007. Filed under Social Tagging, Design, Ideas

I’ve posted several times about Jeff Han’s multi-touch screen holding the future of how we’ll be interacting with our PC’s and the Internet. The iPhone has a little of the multi-touch capability, but I’ve just seen something that might be even more impressive from a few months ago. This might be old news to some, […]

I’m joining the blognation

If you are plugged in to the UK technology start up scene, and attend networking events like Saul Klein’s OpenCoffee Club , then you will have heard of Sam Sethi’s blognation, which launched on the 1st of July. If you haven’t then let me explain.
At the moment the web’s coverage of new technology and interesting […]

London Wiki Wednesday 4 July at BearingPoint

by @ Friday, July 6th, 2007. Filed under Web 2.0, Open Source, Blogging, Wikis, Productivity, CMS, VoIP, Enterprise, Social Software

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 […]

In praise of Sony Vaio support

by @ Wednesday, July 4th, 2007. Filed under Uncategorized

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’m back, and Yahoo! Small Business support sucks

by @ Wednesday, July 4th, 2007. Filed under Blogging

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 […]
