Do you believe all thats WordPressed ?

Press on to WordCamp 09 at Government expense ?? 

Read all about it  here

The blurp says 

“We’re very pleased to announce our first sponsor, Puffbox. Puffbox are successfully taking WordPress into UK government circles to fulfil all kinds of needs”    

Just what we need at the moment a  way for the Government to wordpress upon  us that  they havent all got their snouts in the trough at our expense    and restore some confidence 

a year on & still no fast computing

Year in view wordkamp 08-wordcamp 09

New President of the USA   War continues in Afghanistan Heroin Trade continues War intensifies in Shrilanka,abuse continues in Dar-for .Mugabe’s regime  keeps making him  more money and his people get poorer  his politacal opponents continue to be  beaten or killed . We have  had  the shortest reported  economic Global  crash in history [come on why cant we just be left alone to be  poor for a year or 2 so we can have something  to brag about to our grandchildren . you know granpa lived thro the great economic downturn of the 2008's ) and more money than ever has been taken from the masses of ordinary people via taxes to keep the status quo and make sure the very rich stay very rich. So its about the same really but warmer in the Arctic by 1/2 a degree or so .

 

On the tech front  WordPress gets subversive and up to 2.8 [nearly on the rickter scale], .microsoft say buyee to Bill and relase Windows 7 a vista  OE that seems to work !! have you tried it yet ? Everying gets up in the clouds Microsoft try and Mesh up to do battle with Google Apps  and everyone and his dog is giving you a workspace on line  just to keep a foothold on your desktop .Mac have come up with  we lll  nothing really new  buta zippier iphone that  apps writers love . and nobody can yet give us a really fast desktop PC  that will run windows instantly  on startup   . tha something iI would really love .

WordCamp UK 2009 Thank you

Will I be going  well if I get chance to sit at the table with Mike Little again like I did last year  I might well consider it .He’s such a nice guy to talk to  so modest considering he co invented the thing . 

What is interesting tho is that I only found out by chance that WordCamp UK is happening .I am subscribed to the North wordpress UK  email  but generally find the emails incomprehensible  .Why they  don’t  use Word Press for the Information Dispersal I do not Know .Interesting point that I think Why don’t they ?? IF you are a WordPresser in the north and subscribed to the group  a comment would be welcome.

wordcampuk a review

Can’t do it justice  in one post so I’ll hack together a few  as i have a spare moment .

workcampuk wh0t a greenhand learned about SEO , beer & bots

Beign as I am  a new kid on the blog and unawre of any conspiracy theory in regards to the dark arts ,or not in cyberspace  I was totally absorbed by the revelations immparted by  our second speaker on SEO . we learned  with great clarity from  a well resourced presentaion that Google really do rule the world and not only is content king to  the traffic seeking & generating bots (theres no bots on me  judging by the total abstaince  of traffic on this blog !! )but  relevant and good content  is at the top of the pile particularly if its fresh and steamy  and not second hand or stored on someone elses shelves  .Then we came to the bots If you were thinking of ,well just dont even   try beating the bots by repition repitition repition did I say ” repition “? because the’re not havign it and say alwavs vin . This is all very reasurring  especially if you have shares in google. The  information that :-it not worth using …… on your bog because its useless was imparted    .. I wont say what   . . .  is becasue the presentation on journalism and blogging  delivered post luncheon told us you migt get sued for liable or defamation of product  and  unless you have a heavy weight team of lawyers like they (who pay the bots ) do you might find yourself in the . . . . so just accept the fact that  everyting in the whole www will soon be pointed by google ,in one way or another to the Betfair  site   and why not since they so generously sponserd the event from ther megre revenuse .

if you have a problem with that thers a bot waiting for you outside !!

All this is very re-assuring and enlightening  as any organisation tha has taken that well know word google and turned it into there owm logo and brand name must be quite clever .

Incidently if you where alert enough to notice what color the second letter ( or was it the second  o) was in the google logo on at 8:43 pm the Wednesday before the  workcampuk  pub quizz  then you could have notched up another point at the pub quiz . The quixmaster and his lovely assistant was well worth the trip to Birmingham alone. but it was deffinitely the case that the real ale bots had not be sent out prior to booking the pub for the aftercamp bonfire and said  quiz . A feature i hope will be remeded if there is a similar do after any 2009 workcampuk  .find bots that are assigned to search for the word “real ale” and ask them to give you an inside algrhythm on the matter .
