Del.icio.us bookmarks

08-Jan-08

The blog entry immediately before this one is called My del.icio.us bookmarks for January 7.
Every day I read many more than 100 web articles. Maybe 10% are interesting. I’d like to blog them. I can’t, not with a full entry.
So I’m going to use Del.icio.us to keep a track of them, and draw attention to […]

Is my email jinxed?

07-Dec-07

Earlier this week I noted that I could not get emails into the One World Trust.
This morning I made my first submission to the Residence & Domicile consultation process. OK, keen, I grant you. But they did ask for them. It says this in the report:

Responses to this document should be sent via email to:
Residence&Domicile@hmt.gov.uk

So […]

The power of blogging

04-Dec-07

I guess people might wonder why I have done several entries on the One World Trust.
Let me explain. So far they have not engaged on the issues I have raised, which have also been raised with them by others, none of whom have received a reply either.
And we are all sure that this organisation has […]

Imitation is a sincere form of flattery

29-Nov-07

I guess imitation is a pretty sincere form of flattery.
The Guardian had a front page story yesterday on Northern Rock, Granite, Jersey and the Downs Syndrome Association of the North East of England, the charity whose name Northern Rock used in its promotion of its now infamous SPV.
It was a good story.
And you could have […]

It took fourteen months for this blog to notch up 200,000 reads.
It’s only taken three more to get to 300,000.
Thanks.

Reshaping the way we work

22-Nov-07

It’s been my pleasure to work with Dennis Howlett on and off over the last couple of years. It was Dennis who got me, and quite a lot of other people blogging.
We don’t always agree, but on fundamentals we’re pretty darned close.
So I really welcome the fact that he’s been taking his pretty formidable Web […]

Why the picture?

18-Nov-07

My apologies to all those shocked by the appearance of my image on this page. I was asked to add it. I’m told people find it easier to relate to text if they can picture the person who wrote it. So now you can.
And for the curious, the background is a railway carriage. The picture […]

Accountancy Age Awards - Best use of a blog 2007

16-Nov-07

I always think it’s a little vain when people self promote themselves for winning awards. But since this is something which I am genuinely unaccustomed at I’m going to do it anyway.
Accountancy Age has an annual award ceremony. I didn’t go this week, I admit, although I have been in the past. But I was […]

Comments on this site

09-Nov-07

I have for some time wondered whether it is worth accepting comments on this site. The number of commentators is small in proportion to traffic, their themes remarkably (and boringly) repetitive in most cases. Only a very few add anything to debate. They do, however, absorb my energy, which I have long thought better used […]

Moderation

22-Oct-07

Running a well read blog is a privilege.
Sometimes it is also hard work.
And occasionally it’s difficult.
This week I am travelling with relatively limited internet access, I suspect. So I will apologise in advance if comments take some time to be moderated. That is unavoidable.
As is the need for moderation itself. Despite excellent spam filters some […]
