This Guerrilla Working thing is catching on, at least in part. I find I can work more or less anywhere, with or without a wireless network. If I’m offline then I can catch up with all of the things that have been synchronised with my laptop, such as mail. I can do reports and presentations … Continue reading Unfolding plans 97 – chugging tugboats
Unfolding plans 96 – Phil Jackman Author
I am an author. I am a writer. I have written a book and it has been published. I doubt it is the best book ever to have been written and I don’t expect it to be in the best sellers list but that is not the point. It is published and a small number … Continue reading Unfolding plans 96 – Phil Jackman Author
Unfolding plans 95 – Spennymoor in the millennium
This postcard challenge is going to be harder than I thought. By day two I was close to throwing in the towel but my never say die attitude pulled it off in the end. It seems that postcards are only sold in tourist type destinations and are not ubiquitous. Why didn’t I think of that? … Continue reading Unfolding plans 95 – Spennymoor in the millennium
Unfolding plans 94 – exciting times in the North East
London is a hot place when the sun shines. On Wednesday it got well over thirty degrees. I think I was the only one in the capital to be wearing a jacket and tie but standards have to be kept. I had caught the train down (yes not up) to present at a conference on … Continue reading Unfolding plans 94 – exciting times in the North East
Unfolding plans 92 – what was I doing in Sunderland?
So what was I doing in Sunderland? You ask me? You know that I have an interest in regional technology and such issues as collaboration across the differing authorities so when Sunderland City Council announced that they were planning a market engagement event for a technology partner then I had to wangle a ticket. (Actually … Continue reading Unfolding plans 92 – what was I doing in Sunderland?
Unfolding plans 91 – What did Steven Kelly ever do for me?
What did Steven Kelly ever do for me? I’d come across Steven before but never heard him speak until Dynamo15. He was the Key Note speaker in his role as the Chief Executive Officer of Sage, the North East’s only FTSE100 company. I loved what he said. He was really inspirational and came across as … Continue reading Unfolding plans 91 – What did Steven Kelly ever do for me?
Unfolding plans 90 – The one I’ve been looking forward to
This is the one that I’ve been looking forward to, the broadband launch at Wolsingham. Finally we have made it to the places where they said it would never happen. I forget how long it is that I’ve been working on the problem of poor broadband. It could be as long as ten years. I … Continue reading Unfolding plans 90 – The one I’ve been looking forward to
Unfolding plans 89 – every other day
I do a lot of presentations. You know I do because I mention them a lot. It’s not true but it seems that I do one every day. I guess I’m always on show, always presenting and so in one way or another I suppose that I do. A quick look back, however, in my … Continue reading Unfolding plans 89 – every other day
Unfolding plans 88 – the Northern Institute for Technology
I want to be eighteen again and be packing my bags to go off to the Northern Institute for Technology. If I had my time again I would like to go back to college and study computer science or data sciences because there are so many exciting jobs to be had and so many interesting … Continue reading Unfolding plans 88 – the Northern Institute for Technology
Unfolding plans 85 – the one I never got to use
Dynamo 15 was a fantastic event. It was even better than last year’s and I’m already looking forward to next year. In one way or another I was quite involved in some of the breakout themes. I had a couple of talks prepared but Bob decided to do a David Dimbleby and go for a … Continue reading Unfolding plans 85 – the one I never got to use
