To WIN, all you have to do is drop your EC card/s...
Tina over at The Clean White Page has magnanimously awarded me the Superior Scribbler award . This is a sort of benign pyramid scheme of praise : if you're given the award you then pass it on to five other blogs that you know and love and that you think deserve the recognition. And so on.

Has the “…big, all-purpose operating system…” had its day? Instead, in the age of the Cloud, we should be building “…lean just enough systems software…”. That is the view of James Urquhart, Cisco’s cloud computing expert, expressed in one of a series of five blog posts entitled Cloud computing and the big rethink. As ever, James offers [...]...
Wow! thank you so much Lindsay. I am really humbled that you even considered including me in your thoughts. Of course, Terry would say he deserves all the accolade he gets - which isn't usually much!! only joking. He too loves coming to your demonstrations and having a natter, if only to tell everyone how much I spend on craft. Such a darling!! Anyway, it's down to you, and your colleagues up and down...
This blog started on February 26th, 2005, which means it has a five year anniversary in February 2010. Leading up to this, I will try to write five blog posts (one every month until February), each summarizing one year. One of the first things I did was to go back to my round-the-world trip of 2003 and write a series of blog posts on the different places I visited ( Johannesburg , Reunion , Mauritius...
