Anyone taking a tube in London recently will have spotted some striking posters proclaiming an information revolution. Reading between the lines they seem to be having a go at Google and imply it's a grass roots, underground movement - but give little away. Advertising on the Underground isn't exactly cheap or particularly, err, underground so I ...

As you probably know, in a departure from previous years, Daylight Saving Time kicks in this weekend in the States following the Energy Policy Act of 2005. While this change isn't quite on the scale of the millenium bug, it does pose problems for IT folk. Fortunately the Windows sysadmins have been spared the monthly Microsoft patch cycle so that'...

Thanks to the Finextra folks for this opportunity to participate in the Finextra community. I will try to be provocative, and informative with my posts here, and looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Curious web-shaped, mosaic-encrusted relic now run by Nicholsons. Dating from 1875, the pub was modernised in 1905 in an Arts and Crafts style - hence the mosaic exterior and interior. Not like any pub we can think of - lots of strange, vaulted, tucked away places to take in the ambience. It's non-smoking throughout, which is refreshing - and ther...

Interesting discussion with our Asian colleagues. It is evident that the nature of these markets will require a different approach. Harmonisation is not practical, but some degree of integration and therefore standardisation would be welcomed.

Another day - another breakfast meeting after a late night. They definitely get harder and I shall be glad of the lie in tomorrow. I have gained the feeling that many people are feelinga little more jaded this morning and the Exhibition Hall feels quiter today. But the conversations remain useful and stimulating.
