This week I have learned: two weeks off at Christmas is a good thing. It gives a chance to properly stop, rest, and be refreshed upon return. Traveling and spending time with good friends and family helped too. the new year has started in a somewhat fragmented fashion - nothing bad, just lots of bits, … Continue reading Weeknote 663: back to it

This week I have learned: that Paul Armstrong does pull together the loveliest of events. This week's mini-TBD was great - a handful of fascinating speakers talking about an interesting subject, a few folk I knew, and a few I didn't. I'm constantly surprised by how many organisations still haven't taken to the idea of … Continue reading Weeknote 661 – TBD

This week I have learned... it hurts a bit when a client says that they don't want to work with you any more. Even if it's just economics. Even if it's not just you and other suppliers are also being shown the door. Even if it all makes some sort of logical sense. It's inevitable … Continue reading Weeknote 660: testing

Gabby, … Continue reading Weeknote 658: improvised

I'm obviously getting concerned about the way that technology might be … Continue reading Weeknote 657: planning to delegate

This week I have learned: when you get to meet with people who are just amazing conversationalists, it's wonderful. There were two conversations like that this week. I successfully used ChatGPT for something this week. It helped me to design a game. It made me realise that up until now I might have been deliberately … Continue reading Weeknote 656: chat

This week I have learned: I didn't have any 100 Coffees coffees this week. I had coffee (to drink). I actually had coffees with people. But none as part of the project. It feels odd. I'm tempted still by the idea of writing a book. It feels like my own personal Everest. But I don't … Continue reading Weeknote 655 – exciting

This week I have learned: a short break is as good as a rest, or something. Exmoor is very hilly It also seems to completely confuse Google Maps. There was a road closed in the middle of the National Park which seemed to put Google Maps into a complete tizzy. A 55 minute journey ended … Continue reading Weeknote 654 – Exmoor
