It’s Summer in Australia – where is MLT?
Well, for a change, I am not actually ‘at large’ but at home in Adelaide. I did have a very long trip to Europe which started in Italy (2 months there), continued to Switzerland and Austria then on to the UK before finishing with a few days in Dubai. My companion blog ‘With my… Continue reading

But, believe me, if you like technology and getting to play with new software, and feel good about process improvements and that… Continue reading

Call yourself a blogger?
Well, I have not typed a word here for many months, so what is going on? Well, I think work is getting in the way of life. Common problem I know… However, recently I have had the opportunity to go away and spend some time away from the ‘documentation factory’. Because I spend 8+ hours… Continue reading

Life of a part-time blogger
The stats are in — I am officially a very part-time blogger. Just what have I been up to since March 08 when last I tapped these tiny keys? Changing jobs, twice; writing PR articles for the IPEd (Institute of Professional Editors) conference next October (2 of 4 articles here: http://www.editors-sa.org.au/?q=node/67); travelling to Perth for… Continue reading
