I discover that Bryan Lawrence (head of BADC) has a blog: http://home.badc.rl.ac.uk/lawrence/blog. A mixture of climate and software... should be perfect for JF.
That's encouraging to see blogging spreading to the more senior ranks...there is always the worry that it is deprecated, at least at the "personal blog" level if not quite the RealClimate level.
Since I'm on the subject, do you get any official recognition for the RC stuff, or is it merely tolerated so long as you don't do it in work time?
It definitely won't be an output measure on my end-of-year report. I may get some credit from my immeadiate management, but on the whole I'd say it was more at the tolerated level.
