She Fills the Spaces

Aaaargh!! DH website blues, I spend an inordinate amount of time looking for a letter from Nigel Crisp that told Foundation Trusts that the fees they receive for private patients are fixed. The DH website is always reckoned to be easier to navigate via Google! That's before I look for the 'Green Book' which we don't hold so might require a few calls in the morning. The letter was supposed to protect the private sector from aggressive Foundation Trusts getting into their game - sounds like one of ours hasn't read it. Presumably because they can't find the fucker.

While I'm having a go at websites and search, the move to Punch locally seems to have created a searchable intranet, not that you can retrieve anything meaningful from the thing. Several times recently I've searched for stuff about corporate identity which I know is there only to scroll through several screens of search results to find the things. On each occaision I've been tempted to reach for the phone to talk to the person who wrote the guidelines.... that can't be right. Still at least the ting is searchable after a fashion which is a bit of an improvement.

We have an Information Cadet (I expect some sort of pseudo-Boys Brigade Uniform at the least) coming to us on a visit via his mentor and library friend Rose. She's sending him to us to understand the importance of controlled vocabularies. The Intranet will be used as an example of what happens when they aren't there!

Tune in to Misty's Big Adventure for the evening. Feed the family, get Cal to Beavers, Monst to work, Cal to bed. Relax. Early night'ish, anyway enjoy 'Fashion Parade', I did!
