G’day

Testing… one, two… two, two…
Hello again!
Yes, I tried and failed miserably in resisting the urge to blog again.
So, here I am, having spent a few months settling down over here in Sydney and now I’m plugging back in. I’ve caught up with a few of the usual suspects over here, caught up with the Sydney […]

Over and out…

Thanks for reading!

When one door closes, another always opens.

Usually when I post it’s because I’ve seen something at work or on my travels that motivates me to pass on the information or share an idea or two with you.
Starting a post like this one is a little trickier because it’s got less to do with work and more to do with me. I […]

Twittervision

Hat doft (or curtsey) to Tim for this one. I’ve still not gotten into Twitter despite everyone else blogging and raving about it.

Back up and about

Thanks to everyone who let me know my blog fell over temporarily. Obviously the Small Business Forum that took place on Thursday overwhelmed it a bit too much so I’ve coaxed it back into action with a bit of TLC as well as a version upgrade.
Phew!

RIP Aibo

Some years ago, I joined my parents out in Chicago on the last leg of their holiday. I’d never been there before so I was particularly fascinated (and slightly disturbed?!) by the American Girl shop - we don’t have anything like that in the UK and if we did I would dread to think what it […]

Try something new

Did you know that it’s easier to peel a banana from the bottom up?
Never tried?
So how do you know whether what you’ve been doing up until now is the easiest way of doing it?

I met Ed Gibson…

I attended the UK & Ireland MVP Open Day today which was really interesting. To sit in a room amongst a group of passionate people from lots of different backgrounds and professions was pretty impressive and quietly I felt very overwhelmed. What inspired me the most was a presentation on security which was taken by […]
