01/04/08 ByteSurgery In The Irish Times
SINGAPORE - I’ve been away travelling since this so thanks to James and Bernie for notifying me via their blogs.
I was subject of a Blogspot review by John Collins in the Irish Times. Not having a print copy and with the whirlwind of winning the Best Technology Blog at the ‘Irish Blog Awards’ I managed to miss taking in the significance of it. Some friends have suggested I document some of the quotes here for me to browse back on in the future.
“Blandford has proven to be a popular choice with his fellow bloggers. Possibly because he’s been based in London and Singapore for much of is blogging career–he is on a technical graduate employment scheme with Reuters–Blandford stands at a remove from the local blogging scene. As a result, he can bring a fresh viewpoint to issues that often are the subject of a cosy consensus at home.”
“Blandford also makes an effort with the appearance of his blog rather than relying on one of the minimal templates that have become de rigeur. He illustrates posts with pictures from his travels in southeast Asia and also recently overhauled the design of his blog with quirky headings and graphics.”
I’ve added it to the Media Coverage link on the right, which hasn’t see anything new for a long time.
-Robin.
