Hi Daragh,
Really enjoying your blog, however after reading your book reviews it has come to my attention that you have not reviewed my book – Improving Data Warehouse and Business Information Quality: Methods for Reducing Costs and Increasing Profits.
I know you have taken some inspiration from my scribblings and I would be very interested in seeing your review of my book on your site.
Regards,
Larry P. English

Thanks for your comment and kind words.
I am planning to get reviews of your book and some others I’ve been reading and taking inspiration from posted over the Christmas break. I’ve had to neglect the blog in the past few months as I’ve been quite busy with day job and other projects. And my wife keeps reminding me that I need to make time for important things in life as well (like her).

It seems that your rss feed is not working…..
Hi Daragh,
I’ve been writing my blog, http://www.TheTannoy.com for the last few years. I’ve just added you to my Blogroll. I wonder if you could do the same for me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Darah,
I googled myself today and came across your blog and a quote you made about one of my blogs!
Inspired me to get back to blogging and followed up with – ( http://www.andrewbrooks.co.uk/2008/04/corporate_cancer_and_the_evolution_of_business_information.php )
Also reminded me to subscribe to iaidq – a discussion we once had at the CDI/MDM conference a year or so ago….
Bye for now,
Andrew
