In what I can only liken to Great Britain’s current haul at the Olympics, Microsoft UK bloggers have won multiple awards across different categories in the Computer World Blogging awards 2008 .  Congratulations to Steve Clayton’s “ Geek in Disguise ” blog won the “Company Blogs” category Jason Langridge...

I've had a list of links to blogs I frequently read since I began writing posts about three years ago.  It's a kind of recognition to those who inspire and influence me so that others can become inspired and read more too.  Now the guys from Plumbb have come up with a neat way for me to list...

Tonight I'll be at the Coach and Horses in Soho knocking back a few glasses of Blue Monster wine with some fellow geeks. There's some photo walking going on at 9.30pm if you want to join. Check out the location here: http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=skk5cpgznm8r&style=o&lvl=2&tilt...

Thanks to Scott who pointed out a rather tasty plugin for Live Writer that adds Social Bookmarking tags to your blog post automatically - nice. This chap is responsible for it and the first thing I did was modify the text files that come with it to include Facebook :-) Here's the text you need to put...

Scott has been beavering away at a gadget to assist in the creation of blog posts using Windows Live Writer (my tool of choice for blogging). It's still early days but he's on to a good thing here - make sure you check it out by visiting his site here: http://scottisafooldev.spaces.live.com/blog/cns...

Blogging in my team is really gathering momentum and we're finding that more and more people we talk to are understanding the value of RSS feeds (which is a popular way to consume blogs) and how this new medium can help manage the "drinking from a firehose" when it comes to taking on information in this...

Ok I have waaaaay too much information coming at me in every direction. I need to cut back on my information addiction... I went to "Informatics Anonymous" last week (saw my boss and Matt there) and got the following things of my chest: I'm subscribed to 30 internal email distribution lists - ranging...

I get hit with a lot of information. Much of it is managed via Outlook; emails, blog posts, voicemail etc. I came across a CTP of an application called InfoCenter which tries to centralise all kinds of content... I downloaded and played around with it for a little while and it looks like an interesting...
