http://kiwi-et.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Reflections of a Kiwi-ET. An opportunity for Kiwi-ET (Errol Thompson) to express his thinking and reflections. If you want, you can comment upon them. Sunday, 25 August 2013. I have a dream or two or three. My biggest dream is similar to that of the Hebrew Scripture's Daniel or the writer of Revelations. This vision is to do with God's kingdom being put in place on earth. It is easy to say that but what does it mean? This assumes of course that money or some means of accounting value in transactions is r...

Reflections of a Kiwi-ET. An opportunity for Kiwi-ET (Errol Thompson) to express his thinking and reflections. If you want, you can comment upon them. Saturday, 4 April 2015. I have been playing a thought experiment with my problem solving students in relation to determining the impact on resources of constant growth. The scenario that I presented was:. Lets use a simple table to illustrate this:. 1,000,000 units. 1,000,000 units. 1,000,000 units. Let's assume that we have 1,000,000 units of our resource...

Representing Economic System Development. Gift or free exchange. Accounting for exchanges: IOU. Probably not although there may be some individuals who are now questioning the value of some of the IOUs they still hold. If we think about the starting point when the first IOU is issued, there is no certainty that there was any equality...

Reflections of a Kiwi-ET. An opportunity for Kiwi-ET (Errol Thompson) to express his thinking and reflections. If you want, you can comment upon them. Saturday, 21 February 2015. Who has the fresh vision? Why should its people have to carry a debt incurred through private banker decision making and a philosophy that newly created money (the property of the people's efforts) shouldn't be given to the government to spend into existence? Why can't Greece generate new money to clear internal debts or to pay ...

Reflections of a Kiwi-ET: Lairs or Slaves
http://kiwi-et.blogspot.com/2015/04/lairs-or-slaves.html
Reflections of a Kiwi-ET. An opportunity for Kiwi-ET (Errol Thompson) to express his thinking and reflections. If you want, you can comment upon them. Sunday, 26 April 2015. Are our politicians liars or slaves to an economic framing story? So what caused the economic crash that gave the Conservatives justification for their austerity policies? Wasn't it sub-prime lending by American banks and the purchase of these high risk debts by British banks or the interconnectedness of the banking system? There is ...

KiwiET Teaching Interests
http://www.thompsonz.net/work/teaching.html
My teaching focuses on the teaching of programming both declarative, imperative / procedural, functional, and object-oriented. The teaching involves the use of test-driven development and behaviour-driven development. The objective is to clarify the requirements through defining executable tests or behaviour specifications. In doing this, the initial design decisions are made. I see this as helping develop a programming process that aims to produce quality code. Tools to support teaching. Marton, F. ...

This is a record of Errol's cycling journeys as he explores the countryside by bicycle. Tuesday, August 7, 2012. Day Sixteen: Arrival - Brora to John O'Groats. Before I set out, I discovered the solo cyclist at our camp site had come from John O'Groats yesterday by the route that I planned to take today. He confirmed that the road was good and that the Cairns were interesting. When a group from the Helmsdale Hostel came out and cheered me on my way. It is nice to get encouragement along the way. As I app...
