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

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 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
A year of work in progress – day 174
Day 174 – 14 October 2014 Today was supposed to be another strike day. It got called off, or rather postponed, at the last minute. Apparently there is a proposal on the table that is to be considered. Because of this I’d a few things in my diary that didn’t really make sense, things that … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 174

Day 172 – 10 October 2014 Life can only be understood in retrospect. You can extrapolate all you like but we live in a chaotic system and the past is definitely no guarantee of the future. Last night’s by-election results and the subsequent political machinations are testament to this. Because something has happened does not … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 172

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 168 – 6 October 2014 Happy Customer Service Week! It doesn’t seem five minutes since the last one. Each year the Institute of Customer Service holds a week of events to try and raise the focus on customer service. I think that similar weeks are held in other parts of the world as well. … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 168
