This week I have learned: - I really do have quite a visceral, gut reaction to the concept of being measured in judgement by a third party (which in turn means you really should VOTE FOR ME) - randomly-plucked words can lead to some entertaining blog posts - as can a bit of self analysis - people … Continue reading Weeknote 230: making connections

So what's the point of all this social network stuff, eh? It's just sharing pictures of cats and avoiding doing proper work, isn't it? Well, for some that's undeniable. And for some of us, some of the time, it's probably true as well. But I thought I'd do a bit of an ROI analysis of … Continue reading The power of the network
What I have learned this week: - what one expects to be a relatively simple task can turn into a Herculean effort - I'm really rather proud of it, though... http://stampsocialceo.com/ - the soft stuff continues to baffle the logically minded - and I'm rather excited about watching Watford on the telly tonight. Which probably means … Continue reading Weeknote 229: letting the babies leave the nest
This week I have learned: - scheduling work is like a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces keep changing shape - security is a way of justifying just about any daft idea without thinking - looking back, there are (so far) two places that I have really loved working - life would be so much easier … Continue reading Weeknote 228: the pipeline

This week I have learned: - first weeks back are quite exhausting - scheduling work to jigsaw together is an interesting logical challenge - I've missed having days where I just meet people (rectified today!) Next week: more jigsawing
Another rollercoaster year, but 2014 was one where it felt, at least towards the second half of the year, like it was beginning to make some sort of sense. Business has started to pick up, and I enter the New Year with a number of things in the pipeline. That's very different from where I … Continue reading Yearnote 2014
Things I have learned this week: - I distinctly prefer working with people in the learning and development world than those in the world of technology - greatness is terribly subjective (and wonderful as a result) - there is a power in maintaining a consistent level of naivety (or maybe nativity...) - diary scheduling is … Continue reading Weeknote 225: crimble
Things I have learned this week: - there's an awful lot of (IT) history on my doorstep - most technology problems aren't the technology - most people problems aren't the technology - the same event run to different audiences can have remarkably different results Next week: the last working week of 2014
