I’m speaking at the JISC CETIS Repositories and the Open Web meeting on Monday 19th April, even if it is my birthday. I’m not expecting a card from the audience, but cake would be acceptable. Speakers have been asked to … Continue reading

Month one of one pic-a-day project
I’ve joined the 2009/365photos Flickr photo pool. This is a group of education technology folk who’ve decided to take one photograph every day for a year. It’s a great discipline and has rekindled my interest in taking photos. I’ve not … Continue reading
