I am invariably introduced to others as an ‘out of the box’ thinker. I am flattered of course, although I like to think that I am such a person. I consider this ability to be one of my strengths.
As with all metaphors, they conjure up various patterns of thought, depending upon who we are. One [...]

Agile processes that aren’t really agile…
September 26th, 2008 · No Comments
There’s nothing new about Agile development. Of course, it means all kinds of things to all kinds of people. Of late, I often bump into the idea of Agile business processes. Companies want to speed things up. They’ve heard of this agile development stuff and think that they can apply it elsewhere. Sounds good, in [...]

Personalisation and the long tail (of music)…
September 23rd, 2008 · No Comments
This week is Android week. I could blog in depth about it, but then that’s what everyone else is doing. I’d rather sit back and see where it goes. Google’s most compelling product and technology is search. I don’t see a ‘mobile search’ paradigm shift with Android - not yet anyway. One is surely coming, [...]

More ideas…where’s the bloody remote?
September 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Interestingly, I’ve had a lot of people contact me recently to remind me about, or ask after, those original 100 Ideas I posted on my website, which you can still find (and they went beyond 100) with the search box (try this). I apologise that I never got around to collating the first 100 ideas [...]

Slowing down, but only because I’m busy…
September 15th, 2008 · 3 Comments
I apologise for slowing down a bit on my posts. I’m busy putting together a brand new site to aggregate my blog with other resources and professional services that I offer or have access to, including a great new training course that was recently delivered to O2 Internet team.
Anyhow, for the new site, standard [...]

The sin of teaching trigonometry…
September 15th, 2008 · No Comments
Today I got busy teaching my oldest kids all about trigonometry. You know, all that stuff about Sine and Cosine and the hypotenuse, a word that we learn how to spell first
Typical KS3 and GCSE books (i.e. for UK maths syllabus) dive straight into all those stuffy formula about SOH, CAH, TOA, if [...]

Welcome to Skyfire!
Interesting browser solution that supports rich media (i.e. Flashed video, by the looks of it). Would be interesting to see more details on the features and things like Javascript performance. One to be watched.

Tips for micro-ISVs going mobile…
September 4th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Thanks to Bob Walsh of 47hats.com for inviting me as a guest blogger to offer some tips for Micro-ISVs considering going mobile with their products.
If you’re going mobile with your micro-ISV offering, then stop what you’re doing and think it through first. Make sure that it’s the right thing to do, that it really adds [...]

Google Chrome: and mobile to follow?
September 3rd, 2008 · 4 Comments
The cat is finally out of the bag about Google’s browser. Clearly, another step towards the web 2.0 ecosystem delivered by Google. What next? A mobile version.
Of course, it makes sense. The battle for the browser is still on. It never really went away after the IE v Navigator days. It’s all about the ecosystem. [...]
