I never really got BIM. I said to Charlie that Building Information Modelling didn't really float my boat. I thought it was about heating and ventilation, turning the lights on or off, that sort of thing. A visit to Ryders Architects in Newcastle showed me how wrong I could be. We were there as one … Continue reading BIM
Greater clarity
I need to provide greater clarity. I have heard this enough times now to know it's true. People are wanting more from me. I am in a bit of a dilemma though. I want to be clear. I want to give enough detail that provides direction but not too much to stifle creative thinking. Some … Continue reading Greater clarity
Apprentice video
I have never liked video. Appearing in one that is, rather than watching one. It is not my medium and so when I am asked to get involved I don't approach it with my usual enthusiasm. For once the gloss wears off on my type seven personality. I have only had one successful engagement with … Continue reading Apprentice video
It’s a broad market
Dynamo North East continues to go from strength to strength. Membership numbers are up and while there are still some big players yet to join, the organisation must represent the majority of employees in the industry across the region. This years’ conference, Dynamo17, will be held in Durham. It will be the fourth such conference … Continue reading It’s a broad market
Delivering the goods
Me and trains. I do like them, I confess. I outed as a train spotter a long time ago. In truth it is the engines, the locomotives that I like, especially diesel. Perhaps that is too much information. My fascination spills over into my television viewing habits. I enjoyed ‘A slow train across Africa’ with … Continue reading Delivering the goods
A nod to the clouds
I suppose it's been quite a day. There was no fanfare nor a round of applause but sometimes the big things happen without any razzmatazz. They just happen. I'll start by saying that this was the best ever strategic ICT Group I have been a part of. Not that the bar for that is very high. … Continue reading A nod to the clouds
Hacking for our people
I like working with Waterstons. I would have said I love working with them but my father in law used to say you can only love people not things. May he rest in peace. He is still remembered. I could say I love working with the people of Waterstons. Vic would be happy with that. … Continue reading Hacking for our people
26 Deadly sins Z is for Zealot
This is my last entry for this year’s A to Z blogging challenge. I think it is the fourth year I have been involved. I enjoy trying to come up with something different, yet the same, every day and the challenge reminds me of my enthusiasm for writing even if it is not that good. … Continue reading 26 Deadly sins Z is for Zealot
26 Deadly sins Y is for Youth
This is the last week of the A to Z blogging challenge. Only two days left. I don’t know how but I have strayed into the last Sunday. I have run out of days. Surely, blogging on a Sunday is not a sin. I have changed my mind about what do go with for Y. … Continue reading 26 Deadly sins Y is for Youth
26 Deadly sins X is for X Factor
This is the last week of the A to Z blogging challenge. Not long now. What words begin with X? They all seem to be medical conditions. The end of the alphabet sorts the wheat from the chaff. Throughout the month of April, I have been using the challenge to modernise the seven deadly sins … Continue reading 26 Deadly sins X is for X Factor
