Day 187 – 31 October 2014 I had a dream last night that I went to a place. I think it was called Lamely. It was a lovely old building with a walled courtyard and a gate in one corner. There were gravestones leaning at various angles. The place was boarded up yet I had … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 187
A year of work in progress – day 186
Day 186 – 30 October 2014 Apart from one meeting, I had set today aside to write some reports and documents. The meeting was with Justin about Dynamo and some work that needs to be done to move the group forward. I discovered that he has a similar penchant for hats as I do. I … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 186
A year of work in progress – day 185
Day 185 – 29 October 2014 At last, a cold start to the morning. It’s been so unseasonably warm of late. No wonder everyone is suffering from a cold. After two quite hectic days it was back to management Wednesday today. It feels like a long time since the Senior Leadership Team has been together … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 185
A year of work in progress – day 184
Day 184 – 28 October 2014 There was a good vibe at the Digital Durham board meeting this morning. It was the first since our triumph at the Dynamites Award evening (it was only two weeks ago). The great and good were there to see the certificate and feel the weight of the dynamite shaped … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 184
A year of work in progress – day 183
Day 183 – 27 October 2014 The last half term of the school year means I am getting ever closer to the end of this blog. There are probably only forty or so days left and so I suppose I ought to be thinking about next year. Half term should also be a relatively quiet … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 183
A year of work in progress – day 182
Day 182 – 24 October 2014 Coming in earlier makes little or no difference to the traffic around the Metro centre. I had an eight thirty start at County Hall and so left home just after seven. My sat-nav said that there was a half hour delay but I stopped at the usual spots and … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 182

Day 181 – 23 October 2014 Oktoberfest is either a) The world's largest funfair held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, a sixteen day festival running from late September to the first weekend in October with more than six million people from around the world attending the event and almost seven million litres of beer consumed … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 181
A year of work in progress – day 180
Day 180 – 22 October 2014 We had only got half way through the agenda before I had to leave last night’s Dynamo board. It was a shame because there were some things that I wanted to cover. We’d overrun because there were too many interesting things on the agenda. It is a young organisation … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 180
A year of work in progress – day 179
Day 179 – 21 October 2014 Today had touches of yesterday. There was another conversation about application mapping in the morning and more big data in the afternoon. There were differences though. There was no trip to Seaham for one. Instead it was the slow road though the Team Valley. The traffic seems to be … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 179
A year of work in progress – day 178
Day 178 – 20 October 2014 The tunnel saved me from the long journey to Durham. I should use it more often but I was starting at Seaham and I don’t go there every day. The cost puts me off as well. I never understand why we don’t have to pay to go over the … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 178
