This is the main blog for Matt Jukes - I was previously blogging at http://jukes.jiscinvolve.org but as I have moved from the safety of the Uni of Bristol / JISC / HEFCE trinity I thought I had better move on..

I mainly blog about things that can be generally lumped together as digital communications - particularly around that little niche where education, the government, the web and users meet up.

These days I am doing some interesting freelance work while looking for something longer term that I can really get involved in.

Currently I am working for Jiva Technology mainly looking after the community aspects of Beanbag - a site that is a kind of dating website for tutors and parents!

I am frequently on Twitter - http://twitter.com/jukesie and also have a Tumblr tumblog at http://quickpint.org (which is my favourite domain name ever!) where I dump any links that I find interesting!

I am a proud Bristolian which comes with its own baggage - not least the stress of supporting Bristol Rovers, the boredom of watching Bristol Rugby, the fact that people fall for Baths twee image and of course the fact that I sound like Blackbeard the Pirate!
