The Pernod Close
My first “proper” job after university was on one of those accelerated graduate training courses for a booze company. It was the kind of role where you worked in 6 different departments over two years and where you realise that every single one of them think that they’re “at the sharp end” of the business [...]

LazyWeb request for Twitter + Flickr replacement-type thingie
01.29.08 | Permalink | 8 CommentsWhen I was at CES a few weeks back, I used the MH Twitter and Flickr streams to post brief bits and photos from the show. I’m always on the prowl for a better solution, and while I think I’ve got something that will work a bit better for MWC in Barcelona, I thought I’d [...]

One Bright Spot In The Morass Of International Roaming Charges
11.30.07 | Permalink | 3 CommentsLike many other mobile bloggers, I’ve complained before about excessive international roaming fees. The issue isn’t that I’ve been hit with bill shock because I didn’t know what the prices were; it’s quite the opposite. I know what the charges are, and it’s appalling. While the operator I use, T-Mobile USA, still levies hefty roaming [...]

Mike on His Bike
My pal, Mike Rowehl, fellow AdMobber, blogger, MoMo’er and engineer extraordinaire has decided it’s time for him to leave AdMob. He explains some of his reasoning here.
It’s always a sad day when a valued employee leaves a company voluntarily and especially so when it’s the first time it happens. In Mike’s case, he was the [...] -

Mine’s Theonilla
11.12.07 | Permalink | Comments OffYou can forget Harry Potter - if it’s adult/child cross over novels, Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials is peerless. It’s on a different level altogether to the Hogwarts sagas - it’s like comparing a mediocre soap opera to Shakespeare.
Sure, Pullman’s trilogy has its fair share of rollicking adventure and suspense - witches, armoured and fearsome [...] -

Wired Editor Smacks The Bees’ Nest Of PR People
10.30.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsGoing to veer a little OT here… Chris Anderson, the editor-in-chief of Wired and he of The Long Tail fame, is fed up with PR people spamming him. It’s a frustration with which I can identify, as I get 15-20 PR spams per day, very few of them at all relevant and even fewer of [...]

Recall Email
09.28.07 | Permalink | 10 CommentsNothing about mobile really, but I thought I’d tap into your collective wisdom and see if anyone answer this.
Occasionally, you get an email, followed by another shortly afterwards as someone has an oh-my-god-did-I-really-press-send moment. The follow-up one says that:
Yada Yada would like to recall the message, “All you need to know about avoiding mistakes in [...] -

Back in the Saddle and Thoughts on Transport Technology
08.20.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsMany thanks to Carlo for holding things together while I was away for the last two weeks on holiday. I’ve been on an activity holiday, doing stuff like canyoning (that’s me on the right), white water rafting and kayaking. Sounds rather macho, except that everything I did, my kids did too.
On a more tech front, [...] -

8 Things
08.18.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI’ve been trying to come up with 8 reasonably interesting things about myself since Rudy de Waele tagged me with this meme a while back. I’m not generally too good at these things, so here goes with 8 semi-interesting things (hopefully) you didn’t know about me.
1. Despite having a solidly Italian name, and being born [...] -

DuMoMo - Mobile Developing
06.13.07 | Permalink | Comments OffThose of you based in Germany, might want to head over to the Dusseldorf Mobile Monday on 18th June, where the theme is Mobile Developing.
There’s a great line up of speakers, including heavyweights from Nokia, Communology, Siemens, Vodafone and Sun Microsystems, followed by a round of furious networking, as usual.
Make sure you reserve your place [...]
