Never have so many watched one global event with so much attention. What more needs to be said, right now Barack Obama is giving a hard speech on the current crisis being a result of greed… so what comes next?!

LOL: “Laugh out Loud”… I thought lots of people were sending me “lots of love” when I first received this!
HTH: “Hope this helps”… 2 years later, and thinking I was pretty savvy with the text speak, I had to look this simple one up too!

A whole heap of my PhD was about how you persuade people to change behaviour for the public good, and I’ve always thought this sign (in the toilets at Otford Manor) is particularly good!

Well, I said that this blog was going to be an eclectic mix. I thought I’d check out my ex-housemate Gemma Shepherd to see which radio station she was now producing on, and was chuffed to see that she’s now presenting… all about going for your dreams, and working your way through the not-so-good stages to get where you want to be!! Gemma, you’re an inspiration!

“There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”
Posted on: 06-01-2009
“The slogan itself is a great discussion starter. Telling someone “there’s probably no God” is a bit like telling them that they’ve probably remembered to lock their front door. It creates the doubt that they might not have done so.”

To go, or not to go?
I’ve signed up to go to a talk tonight at Winchester School of Art (room unspecified!). I’m not sure that this is as valuable as checking through my interview preparation for tomorrow, 2 hours to decide…!
Web Analytics: An Entrepreneur’s Tale. Professor David Jackson.
David Jackson is the Chief Executive of Site Intelligence Ltd www.site-intelligence.co.uk . Site Intelligence are a leading developer and supplier of Business Intelligence software systems to international blue chip organisations including Dyson, Open University, SAP, B&Q, Tesco, Boots, and Cancer Research UK. David has a proven track record of business development and international management, having played a leading role in taking Oxford Molecular Group plc from start up to a major international company. He has operated at Board level as Chairman, Chief Executive, Chief Operating Officer and Business Development director in a number of private and public companies.
With a PhD in Natural Product Chemistry, he built an internationally recognized research group at the University of Nottingham specialising in the application of advanced biophysical and computational methods to the issue of rational drug design based on natural product templates. The group raised over £3M in funding in 1990/91 and was regarded as one of the leading European groups of its kind and played a significant role in the department’s 5* research rating. He has over 200 publications in recognized journals and currently holds an honorary professorship at the University of Nottingham.
Given the massive global shifts in advertising spend towards the internet and the power of web analytics to measure and model the impact of web communications, David’s presentation has much to offer entrepreneurs in start-up businesses through to multinational organisations. For the School of Art, David’s work and thinking have major implications for the worlds of Web and Advertising Design. In 2007 he was appointed Visiting Professor at the University of Southampton, Winchester School of Art.

Comment from Paul Wright, Website Manager, Dyson plc
“We changed our existing web analytics provider to Site Intelligence, having looked at four of the leading vendors in the UK. Perhaps the most powerful element which convinced us about Site Intelligence was the VBIS SiteViewer which is very easy to use through its intuitive design and clearly identified core ‘hotspots’ on our website.”

The week has disappeared in starting on the journey to becoming a life coach, job searches/applications, interviews with temping agencies, many hours of freelance work using Joomla, and generally re-aquainting myself with Winchester, and some of the people in it! It’s been great being back on Campus at the University of Winchester where I still know so many people… it’s a lovely, friendly, community-based University… of course it’s not perfect, but I like it!
Discovery Centre
I was very impressed to get a chance for a real look at the Discovery Centre (formerly ‘The Library). Spectacular looking building, friendly staff (although I’m not too sure about the ‘sweatshirt’ look), and up-to-date books which I want to borrow (alongside a cafe, a shop, internet access, an art gallery, and I don’t know what else yet). It was easy to sign up, and I have already made use of a number of the facilities, and I’ve only really been inside for about half-an-hour.
