So far, and yet so near

Oh no! A month's gap without blogging anything! Have I been in a coma? Have I been totally neglecting my councillor-ing duties? No, in fact I've done lots, but have felt short of either the time or the motivation to write about them.

Right now, ironically, I have most of a week 'off' from doing anything as a councillor. My job has taken me to Dallas for the week, to the Educause 2006 Conference, to present a panel session about access to online content for the UK education community. Of course the Internet connectivity from the conference (and from any self-respecting US city hotel) should be excellent, so I'll try and do some catching-up, starting with a couple of interesting (and useful) events last week.
