Having voiced some dissatisfaction with the LinkedIn endorsement process in an earlier item, I was surprised to get a message from the site one day telling me that because I was not visiting a group, even though I was receiving the email digests, they were going to unsubscribe me from group digests “to help keep my inbox…
I was at a very good networking breakfast this morning and before we’d even sat down at our tables, 3 people had mentioned the recent changes on LinkedIn to me. Why on earth were they receiving so many endorsements? What are endorsements about? Why do people I hardly know endorse me for my “Bread…
I’d hate to contract the NoroVirus. It sounds really awful and those poor souls who were brought down by it in recent months have my sympathy. There were many: over the Christmas break I read somewhere that over a million people had been affected, and here’s the odd part: only around 4,000 had presented themselves…

The story, as I remember it goes like this: a transatlantic flight crashed on its way across the ocean, and all souls were lost….
With acknowledgement to the brilliance of Dilbert!
I live in Cardiff, so logically should welcome the recent announcements about making the city a leading performer in the broadband stakes. But in truth I don’t and the reason is simple: the Cable internet service I already have is really slick and I can’t but help feel that the public money being injected into…
I’ve not seen faster upload than download speeds until tonight in Ceredigion. Makes a mockery of the plans to boost speeds in Cardiff and other well supported cities. We need Broadband to be ubiquitous and delivered to the standards of Universal Service of telephone services
