Although I have been involved in adhering to IT systems compliance and statutory compliance – I’ve not had to develop compliance delivery across an organisation… so I read up on it before the podcast and made a few notes.
Differences between policies, regulations and Laws
The ongoing saga of making a ‘self-promoting’ CV/Resume film.
I wonder what it is about the camera that makes some people freeze or become so self-conscious? I’ve been interviewed on a live broadcast for the BBC and loved it (I ran on pure adrenaline + coffee, without rehearsal). I’ve had some of my presentations recorded - I don’t mind that, I forget the camera is there. I’ve been interviewed for web video content. BUT – I can’t talk to the camera because I get really self-conscious…
Having just completed another collaborative Podcast via Skype, I realised how much more confident I was doing an audio recording, than a video recording. It’s not about the content… I like to think I can hold my own in a conversation on any IT related topic. It’s not about the tech… no problems there. I’m not scared of my own shadow – so am I scared of my own image?
If there’s an online social network/application/tool out there, I’ve probably joined it. I never thought of myself as ‘a joiner’ but, over the years I’ve surprised myself. You see, I always identified with the Woody Allen introduction to Annie Hall (one of my all-time favorite movies).
I often wonder what I’ve signed up to, what is happening to my personal data, who can read it? etc. etc. But then I started not to worry about that… after all – If anyone wanted to find out about me, there are easier ways than browsing random Web2.0 sites. I got more interested in has data storage and archiving. Not ‘What’ is happening to my data but rather ‘Where’ is is stored?
I began to try and unsubscribe from these sites. Needless to say – I couldn’t remember which ones I’d signed up to. 3 hours later… I think I’ve removed myself from everything I no longer use… I must admit – I rashly signed up to a lot of sites with the intention of using them, but never did (research?)
I’m back at a core set of services that I use regularly… most of which can be found as links on this site.
Will anyone ever come up with the Killer-App, that enables you to customize and organize your entire online life under one roof? I could’ve gone to the one site and selectively unsubscribed.
OK – 10 photos, taken during the recording of James’ podcast. I took them, they’re photos of ‘me’ and they’re on my Flickr area.
BUT… they’re now in the pubic domain. More importantly – I’ve #tagged them – they can be referenced and used by other people without my knowledge (or consent)?
I’ve always given my online content (where it is originally created by ‘me’) a Creative Commons license to be used for free, for non-commercial use only – so long as I’m attributed as the owner.
Do people pay attention to this license?
Do they even know what it actually means?
Licensing (especially in the UK) is an absolute unfathomable and often tedious process…
Something to think about – what images of yourself/family/friends do you upload? Where to? What privacy do you put on them? Do you give them a license? Do you know how to complain about misuse of your own images?
I’m really pleased to have been invited on James Clay‘s next Podcast (April 21st), along with David Sugden… I think we’re going to be discussing something about online safeguarding/online persona.
Also had a request to perform/do a Pecha Kucha at the JISC North West annual event in June. I’m looking forward to that. I’m also going to be on a stand with KGV and also working on our own BSFC stand – so that’ll be a busy day.
I was working late into the night, last night (as usual), trying to ensure I had completed the Podcasting element of Block 2. Having had no end of trouble this year with the OU web-based software – I decided that instead of trying to upload my podcasts to an OU site (which I could not actually login to!), I would ‘find’ a site… so off I went – in search.
This is when it struck me that there are *SO MANY* Web2.0 sites out there now – how can we know which are good/bad/ugly? I’m lucky enough to have access and knowledge myself and be part of many communities of practice – BUT what about those who don’t have access to these routes?
I’m a great advocate of the principles of Web2.0 and of Open Source software – however, I am now starting to wonder if we have created a lot of problems regarding quality and reliability? I’ve uploaded a lot of work to many different ‘free’ sites over a number of years now. How sure can I be that a 3rd party site will still be available (with all my work on it) in 6 months time? What about privacy and the intellectual rights of my own work?
So anyhow – I’ve created yet another account on a ‘free’ website… taken my chances and uploaded my podcasts for this part of the course.

Oh yes – before I forget – I’ve managed to RSS feed this directly into the H807 group Ning… so won’t have to duplicate anything (I hope!)
