I'm writing this blog entry just to say...



...I'm writing this blog entry from my new PC.

There's a few things I need to do under Windows before it gets Linux all over it :) But I thought I'd just mention that it's now 18:05, and I got the machine physically connected at 17:15!

Apparently, when Vista is pre-installed it isn't setup and it still needs to determine your machines specifics. While it does the first part of this process the screen remains unchanged for several minutes. I know; everyone has already blogged this, but it's my turn ;)

(Oh, and I've already had explorer crash on me.)



Museum Article Released


I have taken the proverbial plunge and decided to freely release my 7 Saintly Virtues of Museum Curatorship article.


This is one of the few pieces from my standard museum consultancy blurb to be made available to the general public. I'm not sure if the public are interested in the quality of their museums, or not, but I am! And I'm hoping that this will re-establish dialogue between museums and their visitors.


Portions of this article were adapted for a piece in the Summer 2007 edition of Museum Practice.
