Re Tweet passim: My name was mis-spelled because "the database automatically inserts a capital letter after mac or mc". Over-engineered? 10:12 AM October 03, 2008
@jemimakiss Incorrect name spellings demonstrate lack of attention to detail/respect/worldliness. And there are fewer excuses for errors. 02:53 AM October 02, 2008
@billt I do worry that industry uses IT tools poorly due to lack of thought/training. Most editors I work with can't even use Word properly. 02:47 AM October 02, 2008
Many times I register for events I find my name has been changed to 'MacDonald' (cap 'd'). A stupid algorithm at work, or someone re-keying? 01:20 AM October 02, 2008

@Chris_Reed Bragg does seem like one of the good people. In Our Time is crying out for a better model for public discussion of its themes. 06:26 AM September 26, 2008
In Our Time is back on Radio 4. How good to hear Melvyn Bragg again. Non-UK friends can listen too, to stream and podcast. #radio4 01:31 PM September 25, 2008
@plasticbagUK I used to work with Pearce Marchbank who created many of them. I guess we need to think what will be classic Web 'covers' ;-) 12:06 PM September 25, 2008
Time Out at 40 has published its best covers online (see also Museum of London show). This is from a different era http://tinyurl.com/3qnb28 10:52 AM September 25, 2008
@freecloud For history to re-begin we need to re-establish a sense of human agency. Systems don't fall just because they fail. 04:43 AM September 25, 2008
@MobileMaggie It was Charlie Marx said it first: "The philosophers have only interpreted the world... The point, however, is to change it". 03:06 AM September 25, 2008
