I wasn’t at the digital engagement conference thingummy yesterday but I was keeping an eye on the tweets of people who were talking about it, wondering if anything would strike my eye as being particularly newsworthy, or of significant import.
Having quite a bit of knowledge of accessible web design and in testing against it (feel [...]

…you need to have policies supporting tutu wearing space aliens. No, that’s only a joke, and besides which, I don’t think it actually made it as far as becoming a Manifesto commitment for the Liberal Democrats.

Super Mondays is a “strong and vibrant IT community based in the North East Of England”. At least, that’s what it says on the tin. But having not been to a Super Mondays event before, I didn’t know that myself for sure. Which was one of the reasons (the others being networking, and an interest [...]
