If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.

πŸ”— Content that scales. Experiences that convert. | Contentful

You might guess that πŸ–‡οΈπŸ”Ž I’m not a fan of Contentful (and likely what they do if their name is a clue ), but clearly SalesForce is, because they just bought them.

I missed them buying Informatica at the end of 2025 so adding them both to a long list including Slack, Tableau and Mulesoft - which as you all know is software fundamental to all sales.


πŸ”— Welcome, IBM. Seriously.

I’ve decided that it’s time to end the “Soft Opening” era of my new site/blog. Lots of folks discovered it on their own. I incorrectly supposed that by hiding it behind a mysterious URL identical to my last name, I’d be able to live-test the CMS and my customizations in secrecy.

I have zero expectations that this is going to be my story - other than - β€˜developing in plain site’ - now that I have been πŸ”—πŸ”Ž doing off and on for a while (recategorisation on going) - it’s just nobody notices because only I am there!


Unclear if for the long haul - but while I am rebuilding my blog - before I finish rebuilding my site - before I revamp my wiki, I have been adding occasional comments about the ‘trials and tribulations’ of same.

πŸ–‹οΈ Zingo Zingo - What you going to do-e-o

Zingo had the idea six to ten years too early. Timing, infrastructure, incumbents and a government willing to let you operate matters more than being first. A lesson for us all.


You might have noticed that ‘the daily surprise’ has just been updated to the ‘when I remember it - and have time surprise’.

Today’s Surprise From History - πŸ–‡οΈ We are unfinished products up until the end.

.. on reflection - I am not sure I agree. The implication being that at the end we are suddenly ‘complete'❓ On the other hand - as far as the body is concerned - finished is definitely the conclusion.
