Risk, Re-/Insurance and Future Thinking
From the category archives:
Apologies in advance for the painful obviousity factor (POF) of this (probably about 87 on the POF/Richter scale), but it was new to me even though I’ve used MS Word for aeons. I’m working on a couple of docs that have got to about the zillionth revision stage now, and wanted to print off the latest [...]

Well the new FT front page is much better than the old, easier to read, less corrupted by ads, better laid out.Be nice if they would transfer the look to all other pages, too. I should have thought it would be simple enough to redo the CSS sheets for the whole lot, and not just [...]

Amidst all the doom and gloom, the early trains into the City packed with office workers keen to be seen to be keen, the belt-tightening, expense-cutting, travel-slashing and so forth, it’s occasionally worth remembering that there are different perspectives.

I don’t know how many of you are fans of Google Earth (I love it, especially as it now does star maps, too), but it now seems to be creeping into mainstream corporate use. Allianz are now using it as a risk management tool to estimate exposures in, for example, the case of a [...]
Interesting article from the Long Now foundation (disclosure: I’m a charter member) about the the increase in range of things that can be bet on as risk measurement becomes more precise.

How often one hears of things a little too late. I should like to have gone to Complex07, the large Aus/East Asian conference on complex systems. This was the bit that caught my eye in the Sydney Morning Herald review: Alexander Wearing from the school of behavioural science at the University of Melbourne has [...]

Trawling some files the other day, I realized that I had not posted a copy of my talk on “Bad Software” since it was expunged, with all other records, from iNews. So here it is in original Keynote format, and in pdf format. Aproveches.
