This week I have learned: The temptation to make cloud like problems subject to clock like analysis is relentless in organisations. Two weeks left before Silicon Beach and I think I have my story straight. I struggle to understand people who don't understand that all politics is how suspended because of Brexit. Next week the … Continue reading Weeknote 353: user experience

One of the things I noted early on about my use of paper notepads was how it often serves the role of a mobile flip chart. I draw (not particularly well) to help explain or explore ideas with others. One of my big bugbears with using web conferencing services like Hangouts is the loss of … Continue reading The no-notebook experiment: day 5
This week I have learned: Migraines suck. I know this. I just get occasionally reminded of this fact. Marketing and communications, and change management are not one of the same thing. They are, though, intrinsically linked. I'm still not sure if I can go paperless, but will continue to experiment. Next week: Marketing plans
Following on from Wednesday’s experiments in marking up documents I think I’ve come to the conclusion that Evernote works better for me than OneNote. To an extent this is a choice akin to a Moleskine over a Leuctturm1917, mostly in the aesthetics. But there are a few points to rationalise it... OneNote doesn’t support the … Continue reading The no-notebook experiment: day 4
A couple of changes today. First of all, an upgrade of the iPad to iOS11 version 8, which adds in a bit more support for Pencil, and then a shift over to the Microsoft OneNote tool from Evernote. On the OS upgrade, I'm so new to the whole world of iOS that I'm struggling to … Continue reading The no-notebook experiment: day 3
A day of chugging along with Evernote today. A few more suggestions from others about alternative software, but for the most part they are all iOS or iOS/MacOS only, so fail on the multiple platform test. However, Mark Wilson reminded me that OneNote is cross platform. I'd also forgotten that, unlike much of the Office … Continue reading The no-notebook experiment: day 2
And so the experiment begins. A few waves of good luck from the Twitter masses, a few expressions of interest in the outcomes, and one person commenting that I'll be back on the PC before I know it (an interesting immediate misinterpretation of the word "notebook"). I fired up Evernote, swiped the Pencil across the … Continue reading The no-notebook experiment: day 1
The dog days of summer in the hills...
This week I have learned: to get my head around something of the complexity of modelling and managing geospatial information in the world of GIS. the higher up they are, the more likely they are to postpone. that I've missed spending time in the British Museum. that boats permanently moored on the Thames still move … Continue reading Weeknote 350: polygons
This week I have learned: Footie's back, then. To continue to value the conversations that start on Twitter and then go elsewhere I have missed out on about 10 years of listening to music by not having a decent set of loudspeakers. Foolish. I really need to knuckle down and write my Silicon Beach talk. … Continue reading Weeknote 349: Calcio
