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 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 93 – postcards from the edge
Sales of postcards are going up, or coming down. It depends upon where you get your information from. Some publications suggest that people still like to send them as pastiches of their time away on holiday as they lend a more personal touch to their correspondence with friends and family. Others however claim that they … Continue reading Unfolding plans 93 – postcards from the edge
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 82 – live satellite feed
A year or so ago the North East ICT Managers group put on a very successful security event. It really changed the relationship that we had with central government over the Public Service Network in a good way. This year we’ve done something similar under the banner of ‘Enabling safe business’. I would normally chair … Continue reading Unfolding plans 82 – live satellite feed
Unfolding plans 81 – filling a presentation
How many words do I need to fill a presentation? I’ve never really thought about it before now. Normally I would get up to do a presentation and just get on with it. I know I speak too quickly though. I have been told before. It’s a nervous thing. It’s as if I want to … Continue reading Unfolding plans 81 – filling a presentation
Unfolding plans 80 – green shoots?
There was a real contrast between two of the meetings that I attended yesterday. At the ICT Services management meeting in the morning we had a dozen or so attendees. Each of them had a laptop or tablet with them and they were being used to take notes and share information throughout the meeting. In … Continue reading Unfolding plans 80 – green shoots?
Unfolding plans 79 – the Independent Chapel
Chapel Street runs from West to East across the top of Manchester. It is on the boundary between the city to the south and Salford to the north. I think it might be in Salford, which is a city in itself. I don’t know if it is eponymous but there is a chapel within the … Continue reading Unfolding plans 79 – the Independent Chapel
