This time Mr Davies has excelled himself. He has made us a website for our diversity task force, which is henceforth to be known as IP Inclusive on account of that is our brand name and we have a logo and we have even done a trade mark clearance search. Not only is there a website, there is also a Twitter® handle, which is @IPInclusive, funnily enough. And our Twitter account has the logo attached too. It is amazing what you can do with social media these days. All we have to do now is finish doing the stuff we have been talking about doing, like the diversity charter and the support groups and the training materials and the videos to tell the rest of the world how wonderful it is having a career in IP. We have nearly completed these things. And we have the added incentive of a launch party to make sure we do. At that point, we expect an explosion of IP Inclusive logo-bedecked tweets. All of them from Mr Davies. I ask Mr Davies if I can have access to the @IPInclusive Twitter account too. He is nervous about this. I have a bit of a reputation when it comes to social media, because I say outrageous things that everyone is glad someone else said, apart from the people who would rather no one had said them at all. It’s OK, I say. Honest. I will not tweet anything outrageous. I will just tweet about launch parties and liquorice allsorts and stuff. Mr Davies replies with something that sounds like a Chinese proverb, and which roughly translates as “If someone else tweet from your Twitter account you in heap big trouble.” Really, I think he is being unduly sensitive. 30 July 2015 Now Mr Davies has excelled at excelling himself. He has spent all night learning PHP code, DNS setting writing, sub-domain creation and HTML 5. Or at least, that’s what he tells us. Personally, I have no idea what he is talking about; he could have been learning the ancient Japanese art of pastry origami for all I know. But as a result of whatever it is he was learning in the dead of night with a large whisky for company (and quite possibly he has simply copied it from a YouTube® video, and it had nothing to do with PHP sub-domain setting at all), he has created an online forum on our new IP Inclusive website, and on this forum we can all share our thoughts and our documents about diversity. Of course, his main reason for doing this is he wanted somewhere for me to put all my daft ideas that wouldn’t involve them clogging up his inbox every morning or covering his desk with fluff.
