Day 2 (of about 50 over the next three months) of my time with Newham Social Services, leading the Performance Team (the guys who collect performance information about services and report it to senior management) while a permanent person is recruited. Getting some sense of perspective today of what’s actually possible in 3 months and…
I don’t normally partake, but hey it’s New Year’s Eve and this is spookily close to the truth. You are 29% geek You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends…
Sitting in Guildford Starbucks with the Prince of Pod, Adam Curry. Wow! We’re surrounded by young(er) people but we just managed to get a seat next to the power point and now both in net-mode hunched over respective laptops. Adam just paused to geek-drool a little over my tablet pc. I’ll let him see more…
A lovely lunch with the delightful Suw Charman (and several thousand OAPs it seemed) at the Tate Britain cafe. We shared a lot about the trials and tribs of being a poor down-trodden self-employed consultant: clients from hell (present employers/prospects excepted of course!); fees that hardly pay for lunch; but most of all the difficulty…
I didn’t take many pictures at all at KM Europe. In fact I ended up with only 3 that can be published here and 1 of Ton & Lillia at the workshop that I could show, but they would never speak to me again so I shall keep in my private collection.

My motivation was really to get the conversation going…
Tired and a little anti-climactic for being at the airport, waiting for a long time for my plane, while everyone else is off eating & chatting together, continuing the session from earlier at some Australian place in Rembrandtplein. A very good afternoon for me – the session was the Knowledge Board sponsored session on Personal…
This morning to a presentation on Rewerse (semantic stuff including a tool to do smart screen scraping – not sure about this, will blog later). Then a warm and dull hour with Factiva on taxonomy yawn – had a mad dash to find some food that I could eat – everything here was bread and…
Managed to get a connection in my hotel room via senc. Lovely dinner last night at Restaurant Tibet with KMEuropers Piers, Sari, Heiko, Martin, Magdalena, Lillia, Herwig, Peter, Patricia, Roberta, Gabriela & Ed… did I miss anyone out, I’m sure we commented on having 13 for dinner? Conversations about Tibet, metasearch – there seems to…
I may never do a solid day’s work again! [Readership {groans)…what new toy have you found today Lloyd?] I ignore you, faithful readership [at my peril, I know] but LOOK at ARTRAGE – I stumbled over it in one of the less-quoted paragraphs of Scoble’s message-in-a-bottle and It’s….. It’s painting Jim, but not as we…
