The second (and last I promise) in my series of shameless self-promotion; I just can’t go by without mentioning that I passed my PMP exam and am now a qualified Project Manager.
Many PMs that I know don’t put much emphasis on the PMBOK saying that its over-engineered and in some cases pointless. In a [...]
I had the great pleasure of graduating from Victoria University on the 15th. I love marching through town (my 3rd time) and wearing the academic gowns. Some may find it a little self-gratuitous, but if you spend 4 years of night lectures and assignments whilst working full-time you may want to as well.
Congratulations to VUW [...]
You send off an email to the customer services division of the company you’ve just bought an expensive dongle from. The product isn’t working as advertised, but you’re certain that the company can fix it via updates or advice.
They’ve conveniently left a nice big link on their website inviting feedback or support queries; something like [...]
If you’ve read my blog you’ll know that I’m a Palm user with a possible hankering for an iPhone.
RIM’s recent announcement could open me up to the world of the Blackberry however.
Is it just me, or does the Bold look like a cross between the Centro and iPhone??
I love seeing organisations embrace technology, I really do. The first time I saw a waiter use a handheld device to take my order and have it transmitted wirelessly to the kitchen, I smiled.
McDonalds has been using Windows Mobile devices for a while now with wireless connectivity. Staff run down the long lines, [...]
Picture this: you need some work done on your car. You don’t know anything about engines, or sparkplugs or alternators. You just know that the engine is important, and you need someone with specialised skills to fix or enhance it.
Anyway, you take it into a garage - one that you’ve used before so you trust [...]
Do you limit the scope of new projects based solely on the technology you’re comfortable with?
Think about it. You or your team are technical experts on .Net with SQL Server and you’ve been asked by a customer to come up with a quick, but functional solution for a website marketing campaign. You’d use .Net of [...]
If you’ve read my profile page you’ll see that I’m a PalmOS user through and through. There are reasons for this loyalty however, the most evident of these being:
1. Upgrade ease; Palm stores all my settings and software. If I nuke my device, or upgrade it, a first sync will bring back ALL my settings [...]
Thanks to my brother for sending this link to me - if only he could send me the real thing…

Good Design by Design
People can sometimes go on a little about their particular technology fetish. Be it Apple, Blackberry, Palm, Windows, its nice to see some passion out there.
One thing is always sure to sell though, and that is well considered design. I’ve posted briefly about this before (http://moses.net.nz/2007/12/20/everything-coming-up-apples/) when I got my Mac. Here’s a short follow [...]
