Starting My Second Week in Bangkok

11 November 2019 Rob Watson 0

I’m starting my second week in Bangkok, and I’m settling into a routine of sorts. Once the initial novelty has worn off, it’s possible to start to get a stronger sense of what the place is like. Amid all the hustle and bustle, there is a pattern to people’s lives, much like anywhere else. It’s […]

No Rice Please – Bangkok November 2019

5 November 2019 Rob Watson 0

This morning I’ve wandered away from my apartment. I’m exploring the local neighbourhood and seeing what is about. I’ve found a couple of coffee shops, and a coupe of food halls. I won’t starve in Bangkok, that’s for sue. Though yesterday I only had two meals all day. I’ve set myself the challenge of not […]

Based in Bangkok – November 2019

4 November 2019 Rob Watson 0

After a couple of pleasant days in Pattaya, I’ve moved on to Bangkok, where I’m staying in a small apartment that I booked through AirBnB. It’s not got the best of views, but it’s quiet, and is almost directly opposite the entrance to the metro. Getting to the university is only two stops away, which […]

Arriving in Thailand November 2019

2 November 2019 Rob Watson 0

For the next few weeks I’m in Thailand, undertaking some teaching at Srinakharinwirot University in Bangkok. I’m going to be working with a small group of students to explore how they can develop their social media skills, and become bloggers, vloggers, podcasters and social communicators. The idea is to look at the development process for […]

Post-Brexit Relationship Counselling

28 October 2019 Rob Watson 0

When there is so much disagreement between people, and our politics feels increasingly socially divided, we can only wonder how we will be able to get over the trauma that Brexit is causing? That’s if we ever do? The trauma and disruption might be so sever that many people never recover and never feel balanced […]

Migrating Websites and Emails

25 October 2019 Rob Watson 0

This week I’ve been migrating my websites to new hosts. I’ve also changed my email provider at the same time. I’ve been able to do this without any significant tech knowledge, though it’s meant a  lot of administration-type functional checks and redirects. To start with I was paying a very hefty amount for my web […]

Bauhaus Beyond in Nottingham

25 October 2019 Rob Watson 0

Yesterday I visited Nottingham Contemporary to have a look at the latest exhibition ‘Still Undead: Popular Culture in Britain Beyond the Bauhaus.’ The exhibition “explores how Bauhaus ideas and teaching lived on in Britain, via pop culture and art schools.” If we ever need to reflect on how we have come to live in the […]

Migrating Blog Sites

23 October 2019 Rob Watson 0

I’ve spent the last couple of days migrating my blog sites to new servers. It’s been a chore, but I’m making progress. If I was a technical blogger, I’m sure I could have had it done in next to no time. But I’m a hosting-hobbiest, so everything has gone really slow. Figuring out how to […]

Collaborative Project Management Tool Wanted

10 December 2011 Rob Watson 0

With so many people working on DemonFM, running shows and projects, helping to develop the systems that we operate and manage, it’s becoming a much more complex undertaking to keep everyone informed, up-to-date, and feeling like their voice has been heard. We are using Facebook extensively to flag-up things that need to be done or […]
