Bye Bye BBC!

Well, after 3 and a half years at ‘Auntie’, it’s time for me to leave! Hurrah!! Last day will be on Friday.

So, now I’ll be able to tell you all veeeery soooon what I’ve been planning and what I’ll be getting up to!

This a good day for so many reasons. ๐Ÿ˜‰ It’s time to grab the bull by the horns and CARPE DIEM!!!

TTYAL!!

Back in Boston

Woooo!!! Gotta looove this town!!

Yes, I’m back in the US of A for a couple of days to try and nail a few things down so can go and tell you all about what’s going on here in the land of kosso.

I was about to build new blog for the secret system, and the damn connectivity here in the hotel seems to be only letting me hit the web, instrad of all the geeky ftp,ssh,database stuff I need. Arghhh!!! (It worked ok last night)

It’s getting very close to me being able to open the kimono/bathrobe on this ๐Ÿ™‚

I can’t wait – but I have to.

Damn!! this is HOT HOT HOT!!!!

I really do wonder what Dave Winer will make of all this – as you probably realise its based around OPML and RSS. I hope it makes him feel good when he sees it. Really, I do. Sometimes my brain says one thing, yet my heart says another – you’ll see. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Protected: Gabriel

God, it’s been a while since I had good listen to Peter Gabriel. From shocking the monkey, through the ‘games’ and far beyond the ‘frontier’, he remains ‘true’.

Good on him. If there’s anything we can do…. y’know it…. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Peter Gabriel was one of the best Sunday night at Glastonbury Festival night headliners I have ever, ever experienced. Even through thirteen years of attending the festval on both sides of the backstage fence, it still stands as one of the The Best.

Unfortunately, a friend of mine who was with me then is now dead. But I know that would be pleased to have been brought up in this ‘conversation’. He was a ‘complete star’. A ‘disruptor’ for sure. If he had known blogging, boy, would we have been in the shit. He liked to speak his mind. I miss that.

He really was my best friend for a long time.
I have good times with good people in my life with people who I respect for more than ‘just’ their friendliness. It has more about with how they ‘act’ with you. Are they comfortable? Are they ‘with’ you? Many are.
I’d love to share what I can with you, gentle readers….

All this will be revealed and discussed in the forthcoming Kozcast. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Times are a-changing fast. I’ve really gotta document this somehow, without getting into trouble! ๐Ÿ˜‰

like… who cares? Well. Me. Obviously. But sometimes, in life, you KNOW it’s time to stick yer neck out.

๐Ÿ™‚

what nonsense ๐Ÿ˜‰ ahhh

Odd Blog Job at Beeb?

Auntie can be weird sometimes. Recently the BBC started a ‘proper’ blog on the News website. It’s great and very ‘bloggy’ – they did it well – and it looks nice too.

But recently I saw this odd job ad: (which closes today)

https://jobs.bbc.co.uk/jobportal/search/vacancy.aspx?id=7266

Editor, “Editors Blog”
Ref: 80561
3 month contract / attachment
Grade:ย ย SM2
Closes:ย 15 Februaryย 2006

The weird thing about this is that they’re seeking an ‘Editor’ for the ‘Editor’s Blog’ – and the ‘SM2’ bit means that it pays VERY WELL. SM = Senior Management.

Now, call me cynical, but currently there are ALOT of people losing their jobs at the BBC, either by choice or by force in order to create alot of cost savings that are needed due to a rather large debt left by the previous DG.

So, advertising a highly paid (and if you ask me) totally unnecessary role (don’t they get it??)ย seems to leave a strange taste here.

Hmmm.

Wowee. Importer!

I must say I am very impressed by the ability of WordPress to go and import all the posts from my blogger account (used at kosso.com) to this blog!

There seems to have been few glitches – and images aren’t there (but that’s not WP’s fault)ย  – but it’s weird seeing all my old post again.

Nice.
