Day 45 – 10 March 2014 I’ve been off-net for two working days. I haven’t looked at my email until this morning. I even switched off the synchronisation on my phone just in case I got tempted. And I did. Thursday morning was difficult and I must confess to feeling withdrawal symptoms. Two whole days … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 45
A year of work in progress – day 44
Day 44 – 5 March 2014 On Monday I left my pen at home. Yesterday I managed to go out with no money on me. No wallet, no credit cards, nothing. Fortunately I managed to get away with it but I think old age is creeping up on me. I need to do that thing … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 44
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
A year of work in progress – day 41
Day 41 – 28 February 2014 For personal reasons I worked from home today. I had a couple of reports to write anyway, one on a Digital Strategy following the meeting on Monday and a second which I had not expected at all. Apparently I had an update to do on Building Schools for the … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 41
A year of work in progress – day 39
Day 39 – 26 February 2014 I got up early this morning to try and stitch together a report that three of the Heads of Service had been trying to write. There are some things that I can’t put in my blog until they are agreed and this was one of them. Hopefully I will … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 39
A year of work in progress – day 38
Day 38 – 25 February 2014 Today I was mostly at the Education Development Centre (EDC) in Spennymoor. The morning was taken up by another of the Customer Services workshops that I described on day 19. The building was different but the format the same. The focus of the training was around the ICT Strategy, … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 38
A year of work in progress – day 37
Day 37 – 24 February 2014 This morning I woke up with the clock saying 2:22. I then woke up with it saying 5:55. How weird is that? I just had to get up. This morning started with a meeting to look at a Digital Strategy. This is something that I’ve been thinking about for … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 37
A year of work in progress – day 34
Day 34 – 19 February 2014 Last night I decided that I’m going to try and go paperless. I’ve been agile for some time and am obsessed with being more personally efficient yet I still hang onto the vestiges of the old way of doing things. I carry a day-book around with me in which … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 34

Day 31 – 14 February 2014 Valentine’s Day is the day when love hangs heavy in the air. What better way to spend the morning than with BT? We have a meaty contract with them to deliver the broadband infrastructure for the Digital Durham programme and so it’s important that we maintain excellent relations throughout … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 31
A year of work in progress – day 29
Day 29 – 12 February 2014 I woke up to snow today, the first of the winter. It wasn’t much, just a light dusting. We don’t get a lot of snow at lower levels normally but to have gone this long without any is unusual. It’s been an unusual winter for weather all-round though what … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 29
