Blogging vs diary-keeping

I found a vacancy at Amnesty International today - they're looking for a data analyst to examine their fundraising activities and establish how effective they are - which is pretty much what I do at the moment for those nice vegetable people. Of course, I should say 'Well, actually I'm happy where I am, and there's a definite future for me in selling organic food' because I know a few people from work read this sometimes. But wouldn't it be marvellous to work for a charity that does so much good, for real people, with a tangible result to its work? Saving hostages, stopping persecution and torture, brutality and murder. In reality of course, the job would just be a matter of establishing whether guilt-trip TV adverts were more cost effective than charity-muggers, of course - I'm definitely better off with the carrots and celeriac.

Fundamentally, though, it was a good reminder that there's only so much one can say on a blog. Unless you keep an anonymous one of course. So if I run out of interesting thigns to say (whether I say boring things or nothing) don't judge me. Hopefully there's something really exciting I'm not telling you.
