Upgrades, disputes and ill-temper - connections not working as they should?

2008, October 11 - 18:56 — PatParslow

I have held off posting about this, as I wanted to make sure I wasn't being too 'hot headed', but the more I see, the more I am sure there is something wrong.

How do I drive this thing?

I have to apologise to those who have commented on this blog - until now I had thought that the server was emailing me when I got comments (it used to), but that appears not to be the case at the moment. I will try and address this, so your comments get published with the minimum of delay.

Oh, and if you would like to leave your name in the post, that would be grand :-)

Navigating your personal learning landscape (or seascape...)

The internet provides many resources and many distractions. Of the resources, some are higher quality than others. A learner, seeking understanding, is in a similar position to a ship's captain - aiming to reach a certain goal, but without necessarily having accurate charts to plot the route, weather forecasts to predict disturbances to their route, and possibly without much idea of how the rudder works, or from where they are starting.

Ben Goertzel on why you should vote...

In typical Ben style, he argues why you should vote. I feel compelled by the logic. I should find time to read more of Ben's stuff too - though last time I was reading it I did wonder quite why he was using my brain rather than his own. To be fair, I suspect it may be as well as his own as I think he is somewhat more brainy than me.
