I Found Cynicism at the Bottom of a Fondue Pot
October 24th, 2007
I have definitely suffered from the blogger’s paradox – when times are interesting, there’s no time to blog. And times have been very interesting, which explains why this post is almost a month late.
It actually all started with this blog of mine, through which I managed to attract the attention of Paul Currion, someone who has been working in the field of humanitarian IT since before the field really existed, and writes a blog on the topic. Through this contact I found myself invited to the Global Symposium +5 ‘Information for Humanitarian Action’, which was being held by the UN in Geneva. (Obviously there aren’t so many computer programmers working in the humanitarian sector.)
