Corporations have a tone about their copy when they feel a bit miffed. Microsoft does 'miffed' quite well. Apple doesn't do 'miffed' - it does 'angry', 'smug' or 'dismissive', but miffed is rare. I've been reading a Microsoft document on what it calls slate computing that sounds very miffed indeed. Perhaps, for a change, rightly so.

It's always with a degree of trepidation that I invest two days in any conference that doesn't have golf on the menu at least one of those days.

Given the market conditions the legal sector is currently facing, surely finding the most effective staff in these areas that directly affect cashflow is now more important than ever? Why then rule out a large slice of the market before reviewing a single CV?

I was at a Microsoft sponsored event recently extolling the virtues of Sharepoint, and the chap from Microsoft made a statement that I initially thought I’d misheard.

I’ve been noseying at the LinkedIn iPad thread for a while so I thought I’d better shove my twopenorth in.

I spent yesterday afternoon at the Elite UK User Conference in London and, judging from the conversations I had with delegates from law firms, the chair of the UK user group, some Elite partners and Elite employees, the conference will be hailed as a success.

Last week LSN reached a milestone - it's four-year anniversary.

I've just returned from a trip to Las Vegas where, contrary to what our content people might have led you to believe in LSN's newsletters, I didn't attend Miss Universe. Instead I experienced my first International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) Conference.

News this week that CMS Cameron McKenna has essentially changed its shopfront by openly laying out a new charging scheme - with some very interesting 'rules' - relates to what we've been writing about at LSN recently so much I felt compelled to write this blog.

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been ever so slightly quiet on the blogging front recently, and I can attribute this to a couple of factors. Some may call these ‘factors’ excuses. Fie on them all.

Organising events of any kind, and regardless of the number of people attending, fill me with the strange mix of excitement and apprehension - so by the end of the night when the last of the 262 networkers has left the building (not bad for a Monday night), I can finally sit back and enjoy the warm glow of what has been another successful networking event, or at least that's what people tell me to my face!
