Quote of the day: The fourth estate
Nineteenth century historian Thomas Carlyle referring to Edmund Burke:
Burke said there were Three Estates in Parliament; but, in the Reporters’ Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important than they all. It is not a figure of speech, or a witty saying; it is a literal fact, …. Printing, which comes necessarily out of Writing, I say often, is equivalent to Democracy: invent Writing, Democracy is inevitable. ….. Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures: the requisite thing is that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite.
Dear bloggers, ignore Blatchford. Welcome to the fourth estate.

Ha! I also still have boxes unpacked, and we have been living here for 3 years now. I am pretty sure they don’t contain anything that I need too necessary, though. – Or maybe I should go and have a look eventually… 🙂

Imagine a cast of Academy Award winners reviving Joannie Loves Chachi.I'm a cynic so I would not put it past anyone in the television industry to try such a thing.

that this is relatively onerous to use. »Not sure what those participants meant by « this is relatively onerous to use ». XBRL is a big world. Do they mean turning financial statements into XBRL is onerous? Or that using standard XML mapping tools to map from a database to XBRL GL to move data between accounting systems in onerous? Or that understanding the 150+ page Specification is harder than understanding the XML Schema or even XML Specifications?
