Sarah's blog experiment

I am using this blog as an experiment to document my experiences in the information-for-development area. It provides an informal record of my personal thoughts and opinions. The 'cast of characters' also occasionally includes: my daughter Leah, my son Sacha, and my partner, Edward.

Joitske's 4x6 challenge

Yesterday Joitske sent me an e-mail, setting a 4x6 challenge to me and three other bloggers on her blog. This challenge is answering 4 questions: jobs you've had; places you've lived, places you have visited and liked; websites that you visit every day; and films... Well, to tell the truth, I think I'm not a real blogger in the sense that I'm not really planning to say anything personal-personal here on this blog, instead I'm concentrating of personal opinions of professional things. So, although I'm avoiding the personal-personal questions, I'm very happy to list my three favourite websites:
  • KM4Dev is by far my favourite website. Well, perhaps I'm cheating here because it is an online community with a web platform. The discussion list is really terrific. Although I'm a bit of a lurker, deliberations on the discussion list inspire me every day.... I adore it!
  • My next favourite is iManagement, a Dgroup facilitated Tilly Minnee and myself which we use to keep in touch - and provide information to - KIT partner individuals and individuals in the South. I can't show this to you because it's a closed group but it's great and getting better.
  • I also really enjoy LEAP IMPACT, a community or practice also on Dgroups, which has been going since 2002 and is the platform of the community of practice behind the Smart Toolkit.

Well, I now see that I don't have favourite websites, only favourite communities. All three include members who are known colleagues and even friends. Strange discovery in a way... Next time, I'll try to review favourite websites and favourite blogs!

And favourite films (I can't resist adding this)...All about Eve, The last picture show, Rear window and Notting Hill.
