I am a Twit, You are a Twit, He is a …

by Eddie 13.01.2009

Facebook was last year’s big thing but many people are predicting that 2009 will be the year that Twitter goes mainstream. Twitter is a delightfully simple system that allows you to broadcast short (140 character) messages to anyone who is interested in what you have to say. It’s a bit like a Facebook status without [...]

πίστις Χριστοῦ: Am I bovvered?

by Eddie 21.12.2008

Perhaps it’s because I turned fifty this year, but I’ve found myself musing on the way my interests have changed over the years. This was thrown into relief by a series of blog posts on how one should translate πίστις Χριστοῦ. This apparently simple Greek phrase could mean ‘faith in Christ’ or ‘the faithfullness of [...]

Twitter

by Eddie 19.08.2008

It’s hard to explain exactly what Twitter is. The official description is: Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

by Eddie 30.10.2007

Peter has tagged me with a meme asking what I was doing 10, 20 and 30 years ago. Well, I don’t have a diary to hand, but I can more or less work it out. October 1997. As a family we were living in Abidjan where we had just returned from a year’s furlough in [...]

Christian Blog Awards

by Eddie 21.09.2007

I’ve not received my invitation to tonight’s Christian Blog Awards ceremony. I guess this means I won’t be winning one! Mind you, looking at the list of categories, I can’t see where I would fit in. More to the point, I can’t see where most of the blogs I read and respect would fit on [...]

Sometimes an idea which can seem good in one context seems positively daft in another. There is an illustration of this in Lingamish’s treatment of the well intentioned, but ultimately unrealistic one laptop per child project. This project is a very good example of creating dependency, which I touched on here. By the way, if [...]

Communication

by Eddie 16.08.2007

There was a time in the mid nineteen nineties where we wanted to phone home from Ivory Coast. At that time we were living in Gouabafla and the nearest phone was about forty minutes drive away. Unfortunately the nearest phone didn’t work and after a number of abortive trips to town, we eventually gave up [...]
