Mumpliments

May 18, 2009

No matter what you do, or how badly you do it, there’s always one person in the world who’ll be completely oblivious to any form of rational appraisal — our mums!

“Mumpliments” are the compliments we receive from our mums. You need them, and you want them, but you know as soon as you scratch the surface, the brief feeling of smug satisfaction is about as long lived as the half-life of Darmstadtium, and yet, how sad life would be without them!


Edufire: Online Language Tuition

May 25, 2008

Today I gave my first Edufire session. Incredible service and set up for tutors and students of languages alike.  The Website itself is very intuitive and sports pretty much every major community tool you may want to use. Within minutes my profile was up and running, and a day or two later (today actually!) I’d completed my first session. The online video conferencing tool is a lot easier to use than most tools I’ve encountered in the enterprise, and the Web 2.0 functionality is reminiscent of similar communities like Facebook.
