http://ageogblog.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
A learning curve - a non-geographer tries to learn about geography. Friday, 17 October 2008. The Rain in Spain. Apparently it sometimes rains in Malaga even when I am not there. Here is a report from 'Sur' -. The bad weather over the last few days has meant considerable movement of sand on the Malaga province coastline. La Caleta beach in Malaga city is where the worst damage has been reported so far and it coincides with regeneration work, to cost six million euros, which is due to start tomorrow. And i...

A learning curve - a non-geographer tries to learn about geography. Thursday, 1 May 2008. The control of finances at AGI are my responsibility. But of course the results come from the heard work of the whole team. Today the AGI Council approved the audited accounts for 2007. After small surpluses in 2005 and 2006, we made a surplus of over £45,000 in 2007. And now our financial base is stronger than it has been for some time. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Geog Blog: AGI - A Review of the Year
http://ageogblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/agi-review-of-year.html
A learning curve - a non-geographer tries to learn about geography. Friday, 26 December 2008. AGI - A Review of the Year. It has, I believe, been a good year for the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) - my employers. It has been a good year for the recognition of our unique place within GI and our ability to respond to Government initiatives swiftly and with authority. We can reflect a very wide range of opinion and can do so with clarity. We have become more professional and have recognised th...

A learning curve - a non-geographer tries to learn about geography. Friday, 4 January 2008. 2008 - what's ahead? So what is there to look forward to in 2008? As for me personally, I intend to learn more about the world of GI, continue to represent the AGI to the best of my ability and do my best to keep the organisation profitable. And, by keeping work and life in balance, I hope to reduce my golf handicap! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. New Barnet, Herts, United Kingdom.

A Geog Blog: February 2008
http://ageogblog.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
A learning curve - a non-geographer tries to learn about geography. Thursday, 28 February 2008. Each year, AGI produces a strategy for the year ahead. This is driven by the Chair of the organisation. Because the Chair only serves for one year, there is a danger that strategy can lack continuity. But recently the strategy has deliberately built on that of the previous year. And the strategy for 2008 is very much an evolution from what we strived to achieve in 2007. This year we have 5 objectives -. Saturd...

A Geog Blog: September 2007
http://ageogblog.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
A learning curve - a non-geographer tries to learn about geography. Friday, 21 September 2007. AGI Conference 2007 - review. The conference is over. Two days of networking, of talks, of debates and of socialising has come to an end. After all the planning, the administration, the worry - it now seems strange to realise that it is over. And very gratifying to find that the planning work before the conference turned out to have contributed to such a successful conference. I hope that issues were taken forw...

A Geog Blog: Parliamo Geo (part 2)

A learning curve - a non-geographer tries to learn about geography. Monday, 6 October 2008. Parliamo Geo (part 2). A few days ago I did a post about the language of geography and how sometimes the specialist. Language used by geographers to talk to geographers is incomprehensible. To the layman. I didn't give any examples. Little did I know that an example would arise so quickly. There is a new job advert in the Guardian for a Spatial Analysis Co- Ordinator. It states the following -. And then a follow-up.
