Welcome to the homepage of Jon Robson, one of those web developer hippie types. I
currently live in London, work for Osmosoft and make things like the new ILGA website and Vismo. Here is the
place to find the majority of my contributions to the big thing we call the web. This is a blog and an RSS aggregator of all my feeds. I don't like IE6 but I like coffee. I believe Programming is an art.
Hope you enjoy your stay.
Catch up on what I've been blogging about in the BlogArchive.

Just been using Virgin's on demand TV service. Quite fancied Harry Hill's TV burp but sadly couldn't find it. It seemed quite a fundamental thing to me that on demand TV should have a search facility that you can use to find a specific TV show but alas not. As a result I am resigned to watching the first episode of "The Apprentice". It has got me thinking, would "The Apprentice" style of episode make a good business model? Get teams together, give them a big challenge such as "make us number 1 in X/ make me Y million pounds by the end of the week" and give them an incentive to do well at the given task (ie. I'll double your salary if you pull it of) but the only catch is "one of you will get fired at "close of play" based on performance in the task. I'd love to see the results of such a business model. High turnover of staff but would it get results.... mmm.
Thanks for reading this far. Did I bore you or interest you? Let me get better at doing the latter and focus more on working on the good stuff...
