Ciao, CIO 05 September, 2008 11:35:00

You Could've Been in Pictures 01 July, 2008 10:59:21
Once again I find myself on the road, this time with an itinerary that started with the long haul from Sydney to Finland by way of Singapore and Frankfurt - all of which translated to some 36 hours of time spent in the air and airport lounges - +

A Tale of Two Call Centres 04 February, 2008 13:18:44
Happy belated 2008. Holidays are over. School's back. Traffic sucks. The weeks off were not only welcome but refreshing, although I must admit there was the odd day or two that saw my "peace on earth, good will to men" disposition - well, shall we say - lacking - +

Since early October I've fielded at least a couple of calls a week from various PR people asking if I plan to do a year in review feature in my last issue of 2007 - +
Weary Traveller 02 October, 2007 15:33:37
I write this having just arrived on the US east coast after spending 24 hours on planes and in airports. I'm a tired and uninspired (in truth, jet-lagged and brain-dead would be more accurate) so this will be short if not particularly sweet - +
FUD 2.0 03 September, 2007 14:52:27
Last week I fired my entire staff. Why? Because - all evidence aside - they are obviously a bunch of slackers. I know it's true - even if my own eyes tell me otherwise - because there's research to prove it. An excess of research, in fact - +

I have a suspicion that life's not exactly a holiday on Primrose Lane for a fair few mid-market CIOs these days - +
Blog: Dancing With the Tsars 27 July, 2007 14:23:34
Welcome to my blog. And no, this doesn't find me polishing my black leather boots in anticipation of doing some Yank-Aussie hybrid of Cossack dancing.
