The information diet

No Comments 27 December 2008

Did you survive the festivities? We had a good one at Reed Towers, and enjoyed the patter of tiny feet around the estate. There’s nothing like having a midget for a butler, as W.C. Fields would say. I’m now also emerging from the seasonal sugar coma induced by all those Cadbury’s Heroes, mince pies and [...]

Olympian Relaunch

No Comments 13 December 2008

I know. It’s been a while since I posted here. I’ve been busy. I have launch fever. In the last few weeks I’ve launched a new business, two websites and some new features on Publishing Talk (a bookstore and a jobs section).

Cobblers to the Credit Crunch

No Comments 08 October 2008

I just saw an item on BBC News about how certain businesses are thriving in the credit crunch – such as cobblers, as people economise by getting their Manolos mended rather than junking their Jimmy Choos. So what other businesses are recession-proof?

Digital gulag

No Comments 17 August 2008

Despite the proliferation of outdoorsy images on this blog lately, I’ve been rather confined to quarters in recent weeks, doing hard labour in the digital gulag in which I seem to have incarcerated myself. Yes, dear reader, I am currently trapped inside your screen like General Zod in the Phantom Zone. And it’s going to [...]

The office

No Comments 30 July 2008

The view from my office this lunchtime. And, below, the view from just outside my front door, by the lake at Reed Towers, where I was working this afternoon.

Happy Birthday, .eu!

No Comments 06 June 2008

Regular readers will know that I’m something of a Europhile, and a political anorak, so I was delighted to be invited on a little junket to the European Parliament in Brussels this week. The event was to mark two years of the .eu domain name, which I use for Reed Media and Publishing Talk

Work-life integration

No Comments 28 April 2008

Has it really been a month since I wrote anything here? Wot a slacker. I have, of course, been busy since I came back down the Alp – and failing slightly in my aspirations for work-life integration.
