I’m not sure about you, but my blog account is stuffed with a ton of half-finished draft postings that have yet to see the light of day. Among them are the following:
1) A thought that if business people are looking towards technology for the answers to their business problems, then they are looking in the wrong place. Technology has already provided most of the big benefits. It’s all about strategy and process now.
2) Googlehoaxing: an idea, born out of a Bigfoot story some weeks back, that people might start making serious money by staging a hoax (no matter how pathetic), publishing it on the Internet and benefitting from the AdWords revenue.
3) A poem, written after waking up at an ungodly hour and looking at an unflattering image of me in the mirror. I haven’t given up yet, but it’s painfully slow.
4) Some thoughts about the practical management of risk on projects. Project management is all about managing risk, and yet the mechanisms in place for doing it are often woefully inadequate. I have some thoughts on this.
5) Mass-customisation and prison: is tailor designing a sentence for your personality, background and genetic make-up the future of criminology?
6) A somewhat conflicted article on the importance of consumer trust to Google. I’m not sure if this one will be published any time soon.
That’s a sample. There are plenty more.
Am I alone in having all these limboed postings floating around? Do you have any postings that have somehow got lost in the Drafts section your Blog?
I’m like a little kid at the moment. I’ve just recieved an iPhone and I have been busy over the last two days tinkering around with it. It’s an incredible little box of tricks.
The basic features of the phone are excellent, what with touchscreen and GPS and the Accellerometer etc.. However, what makes the phone really stand out are the huge number of apps that can be downloaded for it. I have downloaded a few games, installed planetarium software, turned it into a remote control, and I am writing this posting from the new WordPress app despite the fact that I have no connection to the Internet.
And no, I haven’t yet made a phone call with it…
One of the funnier things about blogging on WordPress.com is looking at the search terms people use to find my blog. So, in the spirit of public-mindedness, here are some of the best search terms and my earnest answers to their questions..
“ships budding”: Interesting concept. Lots of water and sun and you never know.
“bog smokers”: This is Ireland. That sort of stuff is banned here.
“what Ruairi did on September 19th”. Went to the shop. Bought a bar of chocolate. Got kicked in the shin by a 5 year old.
“findus och pettson”, “pancake man nordqvist”. Now HOW did my blog get hit by these search terms?
“hate spells” / “HATE SPELLS”. Try “anger management techniques”.
“SPELLS FOR MOTHER IN LAW”. Ah…, The mystery is uncovered..
“west coast of claire”. Clare is a county in Ireland. Claire is a girl’s name. Saying that a girl has a coast is not the best chat-up line in the book..
“man bog take” – man have smelly house, so.
