Great response to my rhetoric about management from new edublogger, Cleve Miller (who, BTW, looks like a very valuable contributor to this area only three posts in, here’s his atom feed), in particular Cleve objects to my saying: “We’re obsessed with management, I reckon. Managing our finances, managing our workplaces, managing our kids schooling, managing …

Quiz Modules in Drupal
There’s an outstanding discussion going on in the Drupal forums regarding the development of a Quiz module for Drupal. Contributing are some real pioneers in the Drupal and education area and if I had enough time / mental energy I’d be in there too… maybe this will transpire, we shall see… What’s particularly fascinating is …
Estimated number of live Blogliners
Here’s something really rough data-wise so you can roughly estimate the number of live Blogliners… the old incorporated subversion site ceased to be published to in October 2004 at which point it had 128 Bloglines subscribers, since then I’ve been posting ‘no longer at this RSS feed / address’ messages monthly until my Radio subscription …

The simplest introduction to RSS ever…
As part of my whole playing with the design I figured that I wanted to add a ‘what’s this’ thing next to my RSS / Atom feeds and mentioned it briefly here. Well, have given that a bit of a re-write and it now lives next to the ‘subscribe’ tag on the sidebar as a …
In the bungalow – the blog return of Lindon Parker
Most excellent news, the (well, my) blogfather himself Lindon Parker has started up a new blog using the WPMU service (as have about 30 other people which is very cool! Roll on over and have a go if you like, stuff like this means I have to look after the databases etc. too so you …

New look incorporated subversion
Phew, as good as there, just need to tweak the ‘posted on’ bit but that can wait… Come and have a look at the all new incorporated subversion design, it’s a (small) play around WordPress 1.5 theme from the incredible Vinnie Garcia called the simple life and it makes having a light design that works …
