@ChessbaseIndia @tatasteelchess Pausing the clock, calling the arbiter and claiming a draw is no indication that Pragg was "completely shocked". That's the process accoring to FIDE rules.

Disclosure will be excessively flattering? I doubt it. How much is the KC getting paid? #PostOfficeInquiry https://t.co/nbEsSDUe3y

Very good wishes Nick, for your new adventures!

Glad to see Knowledge Management Week is almost upon us (16th to 20th October 2023). On the one hand I'm almost overwhelmed by the efforts put in on behalf of knowledge management, on the other quite underwhelmed by the world's reaction. https://t.co/pyj30VvKcO

My idea of a perfect date is dd/mm/yyyy . I think all the other formats are confusing.

[Dion Lindsay @dionl]

When I was an employee, if I was told by my colleagues/bosses they wanted something to happen "this year" it tended to imply "because there won't be so much money for it next year". I wonder how much has changed and if the same applies to wars.

Bullying by senior people in the workplace. Is it the result of fantasising for too long about power before getting to a position of power and having to make it work, responsibility and all?

Don't miss the lectures by the current winners of the famous Tony Kent #Strix award, on Thursday 23rd February 2023. For more information see my next tweets, and #CILIP's link here https://t.co/xgwqPuFmUj

Observed over the holidays: the difference between want not and don't want. HypEG: "I don't want another helping" v "I want not to have another helping". Shame the first is the way of expressing the second. Confusing.

[Dion Lindsay @dionl]

What is happening? I'll tell you what's happening! People are resigning before investigations are actually happening. The best are deciding public life is not the place to be. And whose interest is that in? Ours? Or?

[Dion Lindsay @dionl]

Of the same ilk as "mispalling" and "onomatopissia". Any more?

Smart pun on cover of current issue of #InformationProfessional! Almost had me looking :-). Nice one, @CILIPinfo

‘Consistency is overrated. More than one personality is better than no personality.’ Splendid advice on savvy #socialmedia communications from @ned_potter. Be approachable but credible. Let your hair down and grab opportunities for engaging levity

And to be politically correct she wouldn't be Mistress Excel, she'd be Ms Excel. Spooky!

Often #brainstorming and #bulletpoints are hindrances to thought. The 1st because though it was designed as the start of a process it's often treated as the end, the 2nd because people think they're pithy but they show as sterile.

[Dion Lindsay @dionl]

Yep, I guess you've got the spirit behind robust and resilient right, there. Probably why resilient sounds at first hearing more positive than robust. Thanks - another pair of words rescued from near cliched obscurity. The distinction looks useful ok. Good luck with it!

[Stuart French @DeltaKnowledge]

@dionl That one is easier. Resilience is different from robustness. Robust systems a designed to not fail. Resilient systems are designed to survive failure and even improve from it. Resilience requires the ability to spontaneously innovate in the face of challenge.

[Dion Lindsay @dionl]

@DeltaKnowledge That's great, I can see now that innovation contributes to resilience. If you don't mind - why is resilience a form of innovation?

[Dion Lindsay @dionl]

I'm intrigued - why so?

[Stuart French @DeltaKnowledge]

Resilience is a form of innovation. Surprisingly, I suspect innovation is also a form a resilience.

“Without my past I wouldn’t be where I am today”. Respects to #MarcDiakiese, but isn’t that true of absolutely all of us? https://t.co/M5w8c2pGvV
