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 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

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
A year of work in progress – day 175
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
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 173 – 13 October 2014 When you are reading a book there are three important parts, the first one hundred pages, the middle and the last one hundred pages. In the beginning you’re excited. You’re getting to know the characters and the plot is starting to reveal itself. The middle however is like rowing … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 173
