Greenwich River Trip

One of our friends here had suggested that a trip to Greenwhich by boat made a great day out. With fine weather yesterday, we decided to do it. It was a great suggestion and we had a fantastic time. The nice thing about being on the Thames is that it’

Flying over the ice cap

I was in San Jose, California last week for work.  Great trip, good company and lots of work done, plus we finished a day early.  From London, you fly up and over Greenland to get to San Francisco, then we hired a car to drive the 40 minutes south. I

Architectural Principles for Enterprise Social Software

We are considering implementing some Social Software so have drafted a series of Architectural Principles to help govern the planning for this. I tweeted on this and was followed up by @IdoNotes asking if I was willing to share these, so here they are. I’d really welcome any feedback,

Value Chain for Information — The Movie!

Two ideas have converged. Elias Bizannes wrote about the Value Chain for Information which I have been thinking about, then I saw Sacha Chua’s Web2.0 @ Work which was done with a Nintendo DS and got really excited about wanting to make something similar. The main difference is I

Spring in England

The English always seem slightly obsessive about spring.If I mention Bill Oddie to the average Australian, the immediate response will be “The Goodies”, but to your average English man, Bill Oddie is the somewhat obsessive bird watcher, still with beard (although a lot greyer) who hosts “Springwatch” and enthuses

I've forgotten what our frypan looks like

Weird feeling. I was just about to cook dinner for tonight, and was looking at the scarred and scratched frying pan we have used in England, when my mind wandered…….what did my frypan in Ivanhoe look like?And I really can’t remember! I can’t even remember if
