“Do you know a good plumber?”

Where do you look if you want to find an answer to a question about using ICT or if you want to find out what is an RSS feed or what are the latest developments using 3G mobile access as an alternative to broadband?
Where can you find someone to fix your poorly PC or advise [...]

Good News !

Couple of connected posts this week - which will probably only be of interest either anyone with a passing interest in Third Sector ICT (will we be officially moving to call it “Civil Society”?) or to anyone thinking “where is that “*****” Mr Webster when they keep getting my voice mail or out of [...]

You’ve got to be in it to win it !

Firstly a note (to self for reference at NAVCA later) and to readers who are interested in this kind of thing.
Conversations in the ICT Hub Cafe kicked off by Paul Caplan have now developed through posts from both David Wilcox and Laura Whitehead into not just the original thoughts about appropriate use of the best Social Tools for [...]

Hot off the press

As well as the ICT Hub events taking place over the next three months, expect a number of reports and publications that have all been commissioned and written to help computer users in the Third Sector make effective use of their ICT systems.
To get the year off to a good start, through Lasa the ICT [...]

Same old story … Not!

Do you ever go into an event thinking you’ll have heard it all before?
This was my thought as we got ready for the older people’s ICT conference today. This is the second time we’ve run an ICT Hub conference at Blackburne House here in Liverpool and surely ICT is ICT is ICT? Why is [...]

So, [...]

Tell me about it!

A post to bring together two stories about the ICT Hub and FOSS and our New Media work - you may have seen them already and might wonder why i’m linking to two blogs that don’t have 100% favorable things to say about our work.
Well the posts are out there so we certainly couldn’t and [...]

Real life ICT in the Voluntary and Community Sector

If I was working in the private sector my OTE would be seriously dented after this morning, fortunately the work we do isn’t about closing deals or signing up punters - something which I’ve known for a long time, but something certainly the private sector … and I have to say something even within our [...]

That my friend is progress

Done!
Yesterday in glorious sunshine at the fantastic Genesis centre we held the last of the ICT Hub’s series of regional conferences - a point of reflection, but a time to look forward too. Since March 2006 we have visited eight towns and cities (Newcastle, Liverpool, Reading, Chesterfield, York, Cambridge, Walsall and Taunton) and welcomed almost [...]
