Still busy building the intranet for the Government Office of the West Midlands.

No time to blog. Well, that's not true, there's always time to blog, just that, I can't be arsed most of the time. If I've got some spare time, I don't want to be on a computer, I want to taste some life - mainly with the kids.

Next week, the job'll be finished and I'll catch up blogging the kids, got plenty of pix to put up and there's lots to write about regarding the recent biz blogger conference.

Here's a nice quote that stuck in my mind: Adam talks about the barriers to entry with CMS systems. Boy is that ever true. We tried to put a CMS system in place in Utah and I think its still not off the ground. Its difficult to get the use cases right, difficult to train people, and requires a lot of money (more than its worth, perhaps). About the same time, I started playing around with Radio because it was a personal CMS. We'd have been better off to just buy Manila for $1000 and get people used to the idea of content management. When you're in a big organization, there's a temptation to do things big, even if you ought to start small. That's a tough lesson to learn.

Well, it's been learnt at the Gov Office of the West Midlands

There's more here: but it's still the cluetrainy stuff that's been knocking about for ages. I guess they're just rewording it so businesses can understand it better. One day biz will blog. They'll have to. Sterile ads won't cut it and those biz who blog will reap the benefits, so the old internet adage, "if you're not on the internet by 1999, you'll be out of business" will become, "if you're not a blogging biz by 2005, you'll be out of business." I wonder just what the world will be like once ads are dead and the whole world blogs?
