Out of London for a while..
Posted Mar 11, 2002
Mark and I are going off to train some BBC people on using the DNA platform, from both an Editorial and Community viewpoint. We're going to Belfast tomorrow, and then to Devon at the end of the week. Monday and Tuesday next week we're in Blackburn, Lancs, and then finally back home to the office on Wednesday.
In my absence contact Linda or Abi if you need anything, and they'll help you out.
See you all in a week and a bit. Have a good time on h2g2.

Other things...
Posted Feb 18, 2002
I'm becoming increasing involved in the development of the new Communities that are intending to use the DNA platform. All of the current developments will become apparent to h2g2 Researchers in time, they'll all be using the same database, in the way that 360 does.
However, this means that I'm not going to be able to check my page as often as I used to. 
So if you leave a message - particularly over the next three weeks or so - don't be surprised if Abi or Linda respond on my behalf. I'll be back, but for a while I have to go off and concentrate on other things.

Okay, that's it, pull the plug!
Posted Jan 25, 2002
It was one year ago today, about this time of day, that we pulled the plug on h2g2 and started the 'Rupert' downtime.
It was so weird, one minute we were chatting on site as usual, the next it was gone and we all sat there looking at each other.
We had lots of work to do still, but for the first hour or so we all sat around, congratulating each other on on the fact that we'd just found out that the BBC were taking us over, and that we did infact have jobs, and that we were actually going to be able to pay some of the bills that we'd ran up over the last very difficult unpaid Christmas.
It seems ages ago now... How weird! Were you there? Do you remember the Rupert?
