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

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

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

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

Day 177 – 17 October 2014 It was foggy this morning when I work up. Actually it was dark and foggy but by the time I drove down to Durham, later on in the morning, the sun had come out and it was a beautiful day. Have I ever said that I like to think … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 177

Day 176 – 16 October 2014 Wow! We won something. Perhaps my suit wasn’t unlucky after all. Digital Durham won Collaborator of the Year at last night’s inaugural Dynamites Awards Event held at Newcastle Civic Centre. So we won the first ever award at the first ever event. I was truly surprised (in a genuine … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 176

Day 175 – 15 October 2014 Today was always going to be a long one. Several months ago we agreed to a Dynamo awards dinner and today it has arrived. It seemed so far away at the time. It is called Dynamites 14 and is to be held at the Newcastle Civic Centre in the … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 175

Day 171 – 9 October 2014 Yesterday’s ICT Awareness Day wasn’t the rip-roaring success that I’d hoped for but it was far from a disaster. We had a fair number of people come through and some nice compliments. Bob said to me that if we can influence even a small number of people then it … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 171

Day 170 – 8 October 2014 Are you enjoying Customer Service Week? Today was another big day for us as we held an ICT Awareness Day in the Durham Room in County Hall. We kept the Senior Leadership Team meeting to a couple of hours to make ourselves available for the event but having a … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 170
