From the monthly archives: October 2009
I’ve been thinking about James Whatley’s discussion asking When does Batman sleep?
Here’s the pull-quote…
Sometimes Brian, I find myself stuck in front of the laptop at like 10pm on a Sunday night. The kids are in bed, the wife isn’t far behind and there I am answering customer care questions over Twitter [...]
Update 27/10/2009 – I’ve received several replies – scroll down to read.
After reading EU Parliament’s credibility undermined by back track on citizens’ rights on the Open Rights Group blog, I was moved to write to my MEPs.
FOR THE ATTENTION OF:
Sharon Bowles MEP
Nirj Deva MEP
Nigel Farage [...]
On Sunday, I attended the Feminism in London 2009 conference.
The conference was inspiring, depressing, uplifting and infuriating in equal measures. That’s probably a good thing.
I’ll briefly discuss some of the sessions I attended and also what I think the organisers could do better next year.
The Conference
Kate Smurthwaite expertly [...]
Is there an alternative to privatising the Post Office? Given that the workers control the means of production – could they also own the means of production.
In short – could the workers purchase Royal Mail? The idea isn’t as crazy as it first may seem. We need to take the market value of [...]
Vodafone Update is a combined Twitter, Twitpic and Facebook client for smartphones.
I rarely comment on Vodafone specific topics, but as I’ve already reviewed Dabr and UberTwitter – it would be a shame to leave out Vodafone Update.
The usual disclaimer applies – I work for Vodafone Group, but [...]
At the Connect Biennial Conference, I proudly stated the case for Connect‘s merger with the Prospect Union. Our other choice was the CWU.
Unions – in the UK at least – are democratic structures. What gets proposed at conference has to be approved by a majority vote of members – not just [...]
VoteUK is no more. In order to precisely show you where your electoral registration office was, I needed to take its postcode and covert it to latitude and longitude. That’s the service Ernest Marples provided.
A few days ago, the Post Office – in their infinite wisdom – set their legal [...]
So, I’ve hit my first snag with the Humm Duet Energy monitor. As I mentioned in my first post, the device doesn’t have any Internet connectivity. Instead it records everything onto an SD card.
In order to visualise the data, I have to manually upload the files to the Green Energy Options MyEnergy [...]
I read most of my news through my mobile – if your website isn’t mobile friendly, I won’t be bothered to read it. I’ve greatly enjoyed the BBC’s Mobile News service and Guardian Mobile – but now there’s a new player – The Times has a mobile site. This is a quick review [...]
At the Connect Conference in Blackpool we voted to merge our union with Prospect.
The other potential merger was with CWU.
There’s a plethora of articles about the CWU ruining businesses. Is this really the union people want representing them?
Let’s face facts, the postal service is dying. I literally can’t [...]
It’s really difficult cutting through the hype to see which browsers one should support when designing a website. There are many different measures of popularity – but many sites are only visited by techies, or only ever visited when at work, or are skewed towards the young or the old.
Yesterday morning I asked [...]
