a warm welcome home

Friday, 20 November 2009 11:32 P GMT+01
at the risk of seeming only to post rather gloomily (and I've another one up my sleeve too while I'm in this mode), I just wanted to expand on the tweet I just posted, having watched the BBC video of the 100th repatriation of a fallen soldier

on bereavement

Tuesday, 17 November 2009 9:58 A GMT+01
Yesterday a friend acknowledged that it was almost impossible to appreciate the loss of a parent until you had experienced it - it's a club that you don't understand until you have joined it. Which makes you realise how empty questions like &

On a mission: learning in virtual worlds

Thursday, 12 November 2009 12:24 A GMT+01
I will blog some thoughts around this eventually when I have a window of opportunity (currently scheduling for July 2010) but my slides from today's conference were:Design to DevelopmentView more presentations from kateboardman.Some of these are

remembrance - lost and living

Saturday, 7 November 2009 11:24 A GMT+01
There are some great photographs on the BBC this week, to draw attention to a new book of Great War Portraits. They are powerful images, and there will be a tinge of change in tomorrow's remembrance events that over the last few months we have

what's in a name?

Wednesday, 4 November 2009 11:26 P GMT+01
Last night Sarah Stewart tweeted about a comment she'd made on a blog post about choosing names for second life, and it's kicked me into writing down a thought that has been a mental half post for a little while. I was a bit disappointed that

real warm memories

Saturday, 31 October 2009 8:52 P GMT+01
Can't believe where the month has gone - but then it's always like this at the start of term. I want to share Joyce Middlemist with you.I have about 4 real memories of my maternal grandmother, and very few photographs of her, especially not w

in praise of kitchens

Saturday, 26 September 2009 4:54 P GMT+01
I love the house I live in, don't get me wrong. I am not a tidy person and I need more storage space. I have decorated this house from top to bottom and I like it a lot. The kitchen's been done twice. I like the look of it. I like it better i

encouragement from beyond the grave (or almost)

Wednesday, 23 September 2009 3:48 P GMT+01
Yesterday, my first tweet in a few days (had to concentrate on MA reading for a while) said:En route to my godmother's funeral, after practical theology reflection exercise on funerals & funeral practice.. match or mismatch?I guess it was bo

This week, a 'parishioner' from my placement church was deported. Elizabeth's attempts to seek asylum had failed, and she was taken from the vicarage and deported back to Uganda. The basic details are here, but actually knowing the people

blink and you miss 5 years

Saturday, 12 September 2009 8:48 A GMT+01
At times it almost seemed that it was only last year I was last at ALT-C. This week I was back, for the first time in 5 years and it was lovely to see some old friends and faces, who I've missed over years when I've only done the Bb circuit a

Blogs v Twitter

[Response to Matt 's "Bloggers blogging less since started tweeting http://twtpoll.com/9f890h Will blog this later :)"] I think I've managed to get back to my blog a bit recently, after it almost having gone in to deep freeze when i

timewarp

Thursday, 10 September 2009 9:45 A GMT+01
Intressant. Denna vecka har jag varit på konferens, en som jag har slippat i nästan fem år. Lite oroligt, då, att ingenting verkade annorlunda. Samma ansikten - gamla vänner och de andra. Samma presentationerna också

Hans Rosling's world - the same one we live in?

Monday, 31 August 2009 7:53 P GMT+01
The video is only available until the 18th of September, so please, please, go and watch. It's subtitled where it's in Swedish (although scandies will be interested by the occasional creative gaps in the subtitling). It's an hour long, bu

fallen behind

Monday, 31 August 2009 2:03 P GMT+01
It seems ages since I've lost hours of my life to Second Life, not since before the approaching deadlines of my third life took precedence Back then, I was seemingly comfortably up there with other people around the academic community, leastways

haha, more inspiration :)

Sunday, 16 August 2009 11:53 P GMT+01
This is rather sweet. Someone has not only had the idea but has shared the steps to cheeseburger cakes. Yes, really. I would just twitter this, but I might want to keep it as it links to all sorts of other inspirations for party cakes.

usch, vad hemskt :(

Tuesday, 21 July 2009 7:37 P GMT+01
Ibland finns det dagar som man tror aldrig skall vara slut, där allting går fel. Idag har varit en sån dag. Jag längtar efter att bytta job, eller ha det så lugnt att vi kunde slippa skit and bara jobbar. Det är allti

the role of cathedrals

Sunday, 21 June 2009 12:00 A GMT+01
I'm working on my mission essay (yes, still the same one as I mentioned the other day, it's not finished yet!) and have been reviewing the discussions I prepared for seminar in February. Although it's not a direct seminar > essay, the

PR coup: Durham Cathedral Photo Evening

Saturday, 20 June 2009 5:27 P GMT+01
I the the *most* amazing night on Wednesday. Being in the cathedral out of normal hours with a pack of photographers hardly gives me more of a thrill than being in in an evening with the Dean leading a quiet pilgrimage. In some ways, given that photo

the art of writing essays

Sunday, 14 June 2009 9:31 P GMT+01
For not the first time I find myself wondering if I should learn more about some of the tools available to mme when writing essays. I'm still a fan of hand writing work first (much to the chagrin of my team and anyone else who has the misfortune

I'm not a paper cup!

Monday, 8 June 2009 10:27 P GMT+01
Finally! I finally got around to getting an environmentally more friendly cup for my coffee. You should see my office, stacked up with Starbucks cups. I don't have many vices, but coffee is one of them, and paper cups is an associated evil. I sho

Last year I wrote an essay on mission and ministry online. It got a distinction, and I rather intended to hack it for the mission in context essay I am now attempting to write. Only, as anyone who has tried and tried to do well, rehashing isn't t

Durham Cathedral photographs

Sunday, 7 June 2009 6:08 P GMT+01
Many visitors hate the fact that, along with many other places of worship, Durham Cathedral restricts photography - or attempts to. And in fact it has got harder to get permission for a photographer's pass. All the more welcome then, is a photogr

online security - too secure

Friday, 5 June 2009 3:02 P GMT+01
It's 2009. I work in IT. Even if I didn't, I'd still trust very many websites' secure servers enough to try and do my shopping and various transactions online. I'm also quite busy. Quite often I end up collecting a pile of things
