LinkedIn 2008-10-20 02:23:39 So for the first time EVER I’ve actually decided to take a decent look at LinkedIn
.
I can see why people would find it useful…. it’s a great way to find out things about people you’ve just started working with, prospective employers and employees alike…. only small issue is that of validation, i.e. being able to [...]
Haiku, anyone? 2008-08-09 07:29:58 Occasionally I have a string of stupidly late nights, which coupled with an overabundance of Red Bull can lead to crazy eccentric rantings. Like haiku!
Energetic buzz,
Followed by total downer

Or how about some iambic octameter (in reverse!)?

Blackjack Windows Mobile Smartphone:

No title 2008-10-31 20:22:30 Jonathan Xavier Walker was born 2:41pm, 30th October 2008, at a healthy 3.84kg (8lbs 8 ounces for those of you still wallowing in the labyrinthine and archaic grasp of the imperial system!).
It’s been a LONG 60 hours. Krissy went into labour around 2:00am on Thursday morning, and then it was just all systems go from [...]
Certification, experience and the real world 2008-12-01 05:28:17 So I have an option to undergo a few new certifications.
I have a shortlist (of vendors, at least): Cisco, RedHat, Oracle, Novell. Not necessarily in that order.
I think one thing I’ve discovered is that being the jack-of-all-trades type is extremely handy because you’re so hireable for anybody who touches upon any area of technology you [...] Read more:Certification

Second-rate IT hardware and your business. 2008-11-17 00:28:44 If there’s one valuable lesson I’ve had to learn and re-learn over and over again, it’s that a business, fledgling or otherwise, simply must not skimp on some pretty crucial IT components…. so I’ve made a list of what sort of things the new or established business should look at prioritising, tech-wise (in no particular [...] Read more:Second
