Day 91 – 21 May 2014 Thinking Digital is one of the highpoints of the year for me. This is the third time I have been (it turns out that there have been seven) and I would recommend it to anyone who has any interest in digital and the affect it is having upon all … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 91
A year of work in progress – day 89
Day 89 – 19 May 2014 Over the weekend I managed to finish ‘Managing the customer experience’ by Smith and Wheeler. It wasn’t one of the best for me as some of the stories related to firms that have now passed their prime but it has made me reconsider the relationship we need to have … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 89

Day 87 – 15 May 2014 Bob and I had another trip to Tanfield this morning for another two presentations. The rest room or canteen is never the best place to present as it’s not set out correctly and there is a lot of back ground noise from the factory. We split this site because … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 87

A year of work in progress – day 74 (Verbs)
Day 74 – 25 April 2014 and day 22 of the A to Z Blogging Challenge. For some reasons when teaching a language in this country we are obsessed with trying to conjugate verbs. Each language has a slightly different approach and mastery of these is seen as essential. Of course we learn to conjugate … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 74 (Verbs)

Day 71 – 22 April 2014 and day 19 of the A to Z Blogging Challenge. ‘I’ve bought this Dad but it’s a bit heavy going and I can’t get into it.’ My youngest daughter handed me a thin paperback as we made to say our goodbyes. ‘I thought you might like to give it … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 71 (Soft machine)
A year of work in progress – day 65 (Gestation)
Day 65 – 8 April 2014 and day 7 of the A to Z Blogging Challenge. It’s the panda breeding season. It’s the time of year when love is in the air for Tian Tian and Yang Guang, the Edinburgh pandas (and presumably all other pandas) and soon we may hear the patter of tiny … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 65 (Gestation)
A year of work in progress – day 53
Day 53 – 21 March 2014 There is more light than dark. Spring has sprung yet it’s not very spring like outside. It was cold and windy when I left home. First up was a meeting with a doctor from Dryburn Hospital to talk about Big Data. After I’d explained to him what the expression … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 53
A year of work in progress – day 43
Day 43 – 4 March 2014 I seem to mention Digital Durham all of the time and so I should. It is important to the region, not just the County and takes up a fair chunk of my time. It’s so important that it isn’t even on my ten things to achieve this year. There … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 43

Day 42 – 3 March 2014 It’s the start of another week and another month. It’s just a short week this time as I have a couple of days off at the back end. I’m catching up on the last of this year’s holiday. Use it or lose it springs to mind. My quest to … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 42
