RSC Tour

No, nothing to do with the Royal Shakespeare Company, it's three JISC Regional Support Centre conferences.

June 23rd: For the third time in only 5 days, I had the pleasure of visiting Leicester, on this occasion for the local JISC RSC's annual conference held in the Walkers' Stadium where the keynote outlined how difficult it is to find what you want on the web.
Lots of page returns from Google searches apparently...

The second date on my one-week summer tour of JISC Regional Support Centre conferences was out on the west coast (Southport) where I witnessed a wonderful presentation/lecture/demonstration by Russell Prue, an "ICT evangelist & corporate trainer" who agreed in principle to be part of PWL3 (dates permitting).

The third (& last) date on my summer tour of JISC RSC conferences was at the newly built (completed just before the LSC started pulling the plug on construction developments) Epping Forest college, which for some unknown reason is not in Epping, but in Loughton 7/8 miles away. On the way there, my taxi driver kindly pointed out local features of interest ("Jade Goody's buried in that cemetery", "Jade Goody used to live there", "Jade Goody went to that school" - you get the idea by now I'm sure!) while I tried not to make jokes just in case he was a relative or an acolyte of some religious sect that I'm not yet aware of (called maybe the Goodies? - oh no that's been done).
