bookmark_borderNo Bullshit

We’ve all (well most of us) sat through them, stifling yawns, fidgeting, nodding in the right places (we think). Then leaving, chatting to co-workers, discussing what has just been heard… or more accurately asking each other what the hell had just been said.

Corporate ‘bull’ is a plague that I’ve mentioned before, particularly the use of big words when simpler, easier to understand ones will do, and it seems like I’m not the only person to notice.

In fact, Deloitte Consulting feel the same, and have launched Bull Fighter. It’s an add-in for MS Office (basically a glorified spell checker) which aims to remove the bull from your documents.

What a top idea, I’m off to download it and run some marketing brochures through it!

I’m curious what is on the Smurf disks.

Hoping to see Tadpole too, but I won’t be paying an OAP concession.

Jez abuses Stuarts Guestblog with an awful joke.

Stevan echoes my sentiments about poor Leyton Hewitt (ha ha ha) and tomorrow joins the masses on broadband.

And someone else manages to encapsulate my hatred of Flashdance (the movie NOT the J-Lo video, although I have to ask if she saw this before it was released, that gal has got a mighty wobbly ass! Not that I’m complaining mind… )

A quick check of the YACCS site and lo and behold, new code, update for the new Blogger (Dano).

DOH. Should’ve figured that one out.

Ohh and yes the time settings got screwed too, I’ve fixed them now (although I’ve had to fudge the time as I can’t find a setting for BST).

So apologies to one and all for not commenting on your comments. Normal* service has now been resumed.

Right, so anyone know anywhere I can get cheap flights to Venice? I’ve got free accomodation waiting there but don’t want to drop £200 on flights!

* This word is used advisedly

bookmark_borderTime and Perplex-tion

Re-design – on hold
Moblog – on hold
Side project J – on hold
Side project M – underway (first draft web design in progress)

Work is getting in the way. We are launching 5 products at the end of the month. I’ve been working on four of them and the last one will be right up to the wire methinks.

Then there is the small matter of nursing Louise.

And as a side note, has my blog disappeared? Can anyone else still see it? (and who the hell do I think I am talking too if they can’t….)
