10 October 2006 Logging offI'm going to be a little more intermittent than usual over the next few weeks, because tomorrow, I relinquish my Burton flat. This means no evening web access until I figure out what to do. Maybe get a T-Mobile Web'n'Walk card (hmmm, someone really needs to mock up "Web'n'Wa*k" for b3ta... and did I ever mention that great idea for a stupid waterway site called b0ta?). Maybe arrange to share an AirPort connection with someone. Maybe, just maybe, decide I spend far too much time on the web and actually it would be quite smart not to get a connection on the boat at all. I wrote a big, big long posting yesterday evening in an absolute fury, and for once, had the good sense to retract it about five minutes after posting. Here's a sanitised, less angry, five-second version. British Waterways announced 180 job losses yesterday, and once again, there are some really good people going. All attention right now, of course, is focused on trying to reverse DEFRA's decision to cut BW's grant. But after that, we need to have a good look at whether what we've saved is really what we want... and whether the people currently running the canal system are those with the best idea of how to do so. Sorting out a load of old files in the aftermath of WW's move next door, I found the Conservatives' defence of their plans for BW at the last election. I'm no Tory, by a long chalk, but I'll return to that in a future posting.
