		<title>New directions in GIS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world of the geoweb is advancing apace with cloud based data storage, mobile platforms and web based applications/geoprocessing coming to the fore. Esri have boosted their presence with the release of ArcGIS 10, its updated desktop, web and mobile components and associated resources.
Esri have been working away on ArcGIS 10 for a while now [...]

		<title>Stonehenge Visitor Centre RIP. Again.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The BBC have just reported that in addition to the dramatic cuts to public services, the Con Dem coalition have cut the government funding for the Stonehenge Visitor Centre Project. I imagine the project will now be cancelled as it is unlikely that English Heritage, Wiltshire Council, the Highways Agency or indeed anyone else will [...]

		<title>Stonehenge panoramas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following on from my last post, I&#8217;ve prepared a couple more panoramas from my Stonehenge photographs. Again, these were prepared using Microsoft ICE and then uploaded to Photosynth. The first is a partial panorama of the henge and the stone circle. The second is a 360 degree panorama taken from the walkway where the Avenue [...]

		<description><![CDATA[First there was photography. Then came digital photography. Now, Microsoft have some neat tools for doing amazing things with digital photographs and I&#8217;ve combined my love of photography, geeky things and prehistoric archaeology using some of their gadgets.
Firstly, there is ICE (Image Composite Editor). I&#8217;ve used this to produce a 360 degree panorama of photos [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I recently criticised Conservative policy in the run up to the general election but that&#8217;s not to say the Labour party is the answer to all our prayers; having been in power for thirteen years, the optimism of the early days has long gone. The red rose of Labour has well and truly wilted&#8230;

		<title>&#8216;Big Society&#8217; or &#8216;Back to the Future&#8217;&#8230;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, the manifestos are published and everyone seems to be pushing &#8216;fairness&#8217; and &#8216;change&#8217;. None more so than the Conservatives and they have unveiled their grand vision of the future: Big Society. This seems to be superficially about empowerment of local people, reducing tax burdens and getting the populous more involved in society and government. [...]

		<title>Time for the apple to bite back&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amongst all the pre-election political ranting, posturing and point-scoring, an argument from Theresa May stood out today. Yes, social cohesion, the financial problems faced by the country and the so-called war on terror are all big issues but May claimed on Radio 4 that binge drinking and anti-social behaviour can be reduced by targeting what [...]

		<title>The law is an ass&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not quite law yet,  but with cross-party support from the three main parties, it looks like the Digital Economy Bill soon will be. Unfortunately, being driven by the small-minded folks in the record and film industries shouting loudly about lost profits (not the Welsh band though), the bill is far from being what creative industries [...]

		<title>Open all hours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been mulling over the nature of Open Data, Open Source and just general openness for a while now and, on the whole, these are admirable concepts. Access to data and software can only bring benefits for the most part. I detest control exerted through access to information in particular, with rigid top down hierarchies [...]

		<title>Last orders&#8230;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week, the government announced a cunning plan to reduce binge drink and related social problems: make alcohol more expensive. Now that truly is cunning, almost worthy of Baldrick himself. As someone who is partial to the odd tipple, I have to admit I find this plan absolutely ridiculous: The price of good quality cider [...]

A list of proposed sites was published and various spokespeople were extolling the green credentials of nuclear power. Eh? New one on me. The usual arguments centre on plenty of cheap power, almost limitless amounts; rarely does one [...]

Unfortunately, we&#8217;ve just moved house and there is virtually no Orange signal in the area which makes our mobile phones pretty useless. This was particularly awkward as it took Virgin [...]
