Concerned that the new regime will seek new ways to shore up its &lsquo;majority&rsquo; over the next five years? <br />Well, worry no more, as the alliance&rsquo;s first job in office is to change the threshold for a vote of no confidence. That was fast work! Yay for Dave and Nick.<br />In the past, just in case you don&rsquo;t know the history, a no confidence vote could be carried with 51%, or what most people called &lsquo;a majority&rsquo;. However, thanks to swift work a vote will now have to carry 55%.<br />Amazingly, by total coincidence, the Conservatives have 47% of seats in the house of commons. This means, of course, that the LibDems have been shafted before Cleggs arse has even had a chance to warm the seat in the office of the DepPM.<br />Serves him right.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Apres Clegg le deluge</title><dc:creator>andy@channelle.co.uk</dc:creator><category>Personal</category><category>New Media</category><dc:date>2010-04-21T11:25:50+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.channelle.co.uk/blog/files/apres_clegg.html#unique-entry-id-4</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.channelle.co.uk/blog/files/apres_clegg.html#unique-entry-id-4</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[From all the activity going on around the <a href="http://www.arnolfini.org.uk" rel="self">Arnolfini</a> in Bristol - high concentration of TV people and police, divers swimming around in the river - it looks like this is the venue for Thursday&rsquo;s Sky-broadcast Leadership debate.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>I&#x27;m Rubbish at Computers&#x21;</title><dc:creator>andy@channelle.co.uk</dc:creator><category>Personal</category><category>New Media</category><category>University</category><dc:date>2010-03-24T21:06:07+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.channelle.co.uk/blog/files/a80847412ebeba22207a2d12d800be2b-3.html#unique-entry-id-3</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.channelle.co.uk/blog/files/a80847412ebeba22207a2d12d800be2b-3.html#unique-entry-id-3</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I work at the University of the West of England as an instructor in journalism. Most of the courses I teach on have a strong practice element, meaning a lot of computer use, and the majority of the students are girls/young women. I hear, almost on a weekly basis, the deathless phrase "I'm rubbish with computers." And in all but one notable case, this was uttered by a girl.<br />Where did this idea come from?]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Technology and not getting it</title><dc:creator>andy@channelle.co.uk</dc:creator><category>Journalism</category><category>Communication</category><category>New Media</category><dc:date>2010-03-24T21:04:18+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.channelle.co.uk/blog/files/db2b702fb1d6d3d4389aaf65b502045e-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.channelle.co.uk/blog/files/db2b702fb1d6d3d4389aaf65b502045e-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[When the editor-in-chief of the city's biggest paper begins a speech with the words 'I am one of the most internet and technology aware editors in the industry...' you kind of know he's going to spend the next five or ten minutes proving comprehensively through his words and responses that he doesn't have a clue.

That is, it would be as easy to contribute to a page as it would to consume. Early adopters were slightly Utopian believing the end of 'big media' was imminent and a new age of personal expression - to be inevitably followed by a new age of personal freedom - was there for the taking.]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
