The early morning rain cleared and this morning's journey was ok. I spent most of the day beginning to tackle the ever-growing mountain of work with fast-approaching deadlines.

In between this, I managed to organise some updates to our website, get some technical corrections made to the website, and discuss some more major IT changes for the future.

Meeting with Sarah

Sarah is the senior Grants Officer at WBC and we had another very helpful meeting this afternoon to talk through the many things that are currently happening.

The biggest issues right now are the Compact and a cluster of issues that fall broadly under the umbrella of "community development".

Convenience or tyranny?

I received our latest "server usage report" which tells me that in four weeks I have received 800 e-mails and written 270. Projected over a year, that is about 10,000 incoming e-mails and more than 3,000 outgoing e-mails. Why?

How do you solve a problem like Maria?

The worst news today is that our volunteer Maria is leaving us having got herself a permanent job.

Over the past few months I have ruthlessly exploited Maria's skills and good nature. She has been a wonderful boon to WCVS and we will all miss her terribly.
