• Where Do Ethics End and Profits Begin?

  Posted: November 30, 2009, 1:40 pm by Stephanie Migot

  Last week, the UK parliament’s House of Commons Science and Technology Committee heard evidence from supporters and critics of homeopathy to discuss its effectiveness and whether it should continue to be funded under the National Health Service. Now, I am friends with a professional aromatherapist, and also have a personal interest in herbal medicine. Nevertheless, [...]

• Bringing Together Your Different Career Personalities

  Posted: November 25, 2009, 3:53 pm by Stephanie Migot

  A few days ago, desperate to address a number of topics that would not fit in with this blog or on Kenya Imagine, I put together a couple of drafts for posts and decided to start a new blog, along with a linked Twitter account. Now, this could be ill-advised, as I’ve already got multiple [...]

• Freeware of the Week! [Stylizer Basic]

  Posted: November 20, 2009, 6:00 pm by Stephanie Migot

  If you want to dabble in web design, there are all sorts of options available to you. You can splash out on Dreamweaver, though the price sticks in the craw, especially if you only build the occasional website. You could put together a collection of various free tools and programs, that I’ve mentioned in the [...]

• Careful with your Corporate Gifts

  Posted: November 17, 2009, 3:51 pm by Stephanie Migot

  As the end of the year approaches, many business will be sending out tokens of their appreciation to their most valued clients and suppliers. These serve as a tangible “thank you” for doing business with for the past year, and can range from a day out driving a Ferrari, or a batch of branded diaries. [...]

• In Praise of Quality Stationery

  Posted: November 16, 2009, 5:41 pm by Stephanie Migot

  The notebooks that I use for scribbling down my thoughts when I’m away from a computer are nearly full, so I’m going to have to go shopping for new ones. This will entail a trip to four or five different shops before I find what I’m looking for. I’m not bothered about the price so [...]

• Freeware of the Week! [Paint.NET]

  Posted: November 14, 2009, 11:10 pm by Stephanie Migot

  I know that I’ve mentioned this week’s pick before, but I don’t think a couple of brief sentences really does it justice. I was reminded of this yet again when I had to deal with a couple of graphics for a website that weren’t behaving themselves and needed more than the lightest bit of fiddling. [...]

• Tips to Help Your Charity Event Go Off with a Bang

  Posted: November 12, 2009, 6:21 pm by Stephanie Migot

  As most people’s thoughts turn towards the big push for Christmas sales and the lull that will follow in January, I’m already thinking about next summer. Not just because I am averse to cold to a reptilian degree, but because that’s when the charity event that I’m helping to organise takes place. I volunteered after [...]

• Get in Shape for Guest Blogging

  Posted: November 11, 2009, 7:17 pm by Stephanie Migot

  Guest blogging is something that everyone should do at least once, either as host or guest. For the host, it gives editors and writers a break from writing and can also offer a fresh perspective on the topics they cover. In addition, guest bloggers can pull in their readers as extra traffic if they publicise [...]

• Don’t Forget Social Media when Choosing Your Domain Name

  Posted: November 10, 2009, 3:43 pm by Stephanie Migot

  Choosing a domain name is difficult. I agonised over choosing the name for this blog, and even then I managed to choose one that wasn’t quite right. Still, it works, and it’s too late to go back to the drawing board now. Had I been paying for the privilege too, I’d probably be much less [...]

• Freeware of the Week! [LogMeIn Free]

  Posted: November 6, 2009, 4:16 pm by Stephanie Migot

  I know that I’ve blogged about remote software before, but I may have glossed over the fact that it can be tricky getting it to work on several different computers, especially if you’re using it for tech support and the people you are helping never do more than browse and email. Getting them to configure [...]

• Deleting Comments Doesn’t Kill Free Speech

  Posted: November 5, 2009, 6:53 pm by Stephanie Migot

  Recently, there have been a number of newspaper articles in the Kenyan media on homosexuality and the rights of LGBTQ people, specifically whether their rights should be enshrined in the constitution. Now, given that the gay scene in Kenya has been very much underground, and because there are a great number of people who hold [...]

• Do You Know Who Your Twitter Followers Are?

  Posted: November 4, 2009, 4:53 pm by Stephanie Migot

  Either everyone but me is using a VPN, or the people making the most use of my tweets don’t actually follow me on Twitter. I came to this conclusion last night after looking at the stats for my various Twitter accounts. While I tweet throughout the day, I don’t expect my followers to click [...]

• Is Social Media Under Attack?

  Posted: November 2, 2009, 6:02 pm by Stephanie Migot

  Two articles caught my eye over the weekend, and got me rather worried about how traditional media and big business might be changing their approach to social media. While there have been encouraging noises made about the greater openness that social networking encourages, I wonder whether the former gatekeepers of information are quite as enthusiastic [...]

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
