It’s been a busy week at IAIDQ Towers, and in Day-Job Villas as well (not to mention that personal life I read so much about on Wikipedia - urban myth I fear), so we didn’t get around to updating the blog with the winner of our Travel Mug.
Thanks to Jim Harris of the OCDQBlog.com for [...]
Phew… it’s been a busy few hours.
First off, Lwanga has matched all the donations that were made between the 1st May and the 9th May, a total of US$430 (I’d chipped in $20 earlier in April to “warm the pot” just to clarify things).

A really big thank you to everyone who donated and shared kind words, and a particularly big thank you to Daniel Gent on Data Quality [...]

Apologies for the unplanned hiatus from this erudite blog. A combination of factors conspired against our regular news updates. But we return to the fray re-energised.
Question of the Week Results
The results of our last (increasingly inaccurately titled) Question of the Week further confirmed the priorities and assumptions of the CIQP Steering team in defining the [...]
There are certain principles we are trying to follow as we build the CIQP. We’d like to hear your thoughts on these questions this week:

The Question of the Week for Week 2 has closed recently. The question posed was
