Well said that man

07-Jun-07

I’ve come across a new blog. It’s not one with which I am in total sympathy but since I could argue with myself, if need be, there’s no surprise there. What is good is that:
1. It’s a UK tax blog
2. It’s well written
3. It’s willing to offer contentious opinion.
4. It’s based on knowledge, not bigotry [...]

How important is IT to accountants?

02-Jun-07

AccountingWEB has run a piece on what is called Web 2.0 for accountants. This is not a techy site so I’m not going into the details (although i personally like them). But I do know a lot of accountants read this blog.
In my comment on AccountingWEB I said (in edited form here):

Web 2.0 is about [...]

China

07-May-07

I’m not sure why yet, but this weekend readers in China became the second biggest group of readers of this blog for the first time. It’s usually the US that takes that slot. The UK has always, to date, taken first slot.
You’re very welcome!
And for those who’re curious, on an average day there are readers [...]

AABA - a web site to read, time and again

03-May-07

I’m aware that there have been many new readers of this site of late. Site traffic is rising fast. Some may not be familiar with other sites seeking to achieve similar aims, if in different ways. That’s why I’d like to recommend that anyone who visits here should visit the web site of the Association [...]

Share this

01-Mar-07

You will notice (I hope) that postings will have a ’share this’ tag at the bottom in future. That’s because I’m well aware that one of the important features of the blogosphere is the capacity to share knowledge. Click on that small link and numerous ways to do this will appear, which I rather like.

Tax justice - only the cheats pay more

20-Feb-07

As I mentioned some time ago, this site is moderated. I got bored by some people putting up comment that seemed to add to debate. Most comments from those I consider to be from the far right fall into this category, but every now and again someone puts so much effort into proving just how [...]

Get a life!

27-Dec-06

Back to work (at least for an hour so) and so I had a quick look at the blog stats for the last few days. All blog owners will probably tell you this is a compulsive, if not always useful pastime.
This time though they did make for fascinating reading. Sunday (Christmas Eve) was the best [...]

Moderation

11-Dec-06

When I began this blog I did not anticipate that many people would comment upon it. I also expected that those that would do so would be well known to me. As a result I opted for a light form of moderation. In effect this gave open access to regular commentators.
Now that the blog has [...]

Zoundry - worth looking at if you’re a blogger

22-Sep-06

This is not an IT techy site. Nor, come to that, am I much of an IT techy. Well, only a bit. But for the bloggers amongst the readers (and there are some) I thought I’d mention a great bit of software I’ve come across and on which I am now writing my entries.
It’s called [...]

The wonders of BT

04-Sep-06

If you think I’ve been quiet, that’s not quite true. I’ve been hopping mad – with British Telecom.
As I reported on 25 August, I moved house and office. BT promised to have me on line on 30 August. Fair enough, I thought.
The man came on 30 August. He spent 5 hours around the office. A [...]
