Well it is really then end of another year, being 24th December and all. From today I will be taking a break until 3rd Jan, our holiday house has no telecommunications, besides a basic GSM mobile network (not even GPRS), which is fantastic as it forces you to take a break. Happy Christmas everyone andContinue reading “End of another year”

eLearing dead?
Interesting item from NetDimenions, a Hong Kong based LMS vendor who has a blog. The item was written by a guest author to their blog, Harold Jarche. Harold touches on some of the same topics as I have been thinking about recently.
True Aussie Esky
Being an aussie guy, who has been known to enjoy a beer or two I hope it is not too late to ask Santa for a new esky.
LaptopLane a good idea?
Maybe we need a few of these in Australia?
Corporate E-Learning
It has taken me about a week to get around to reading this item on elearning by Amy Gahran (from EducationNiche). What struck me about it is Amy is almost talk about a sophisticated RSS environment for learning objects. I have been thinking of how can we use RSS feeds to deliver learning content toContinue reading “Corporate E-Learning”
Heather on “The 17 Dumbest Things in Recruiting”
Ok, maybe she got them from Dr John, but I like her take on them. In the spirit of “eat your own dog food” ask your most recent Gen Y recruit’s what they thought of your process. See how many of the 17 they talk about. Then change your process.
WiFi & Powerpoints in Australian Cafe’s
Another interesting piece of info from G’Day World on PowerPoints and Wiki spots in Australia. Mitch Denny on the back of Cameron’s rant (?) has started a Wiki to collect this information, if you know of any update the list. Updated: Just realised the URL to Don’t Panic was buggered.
Coffee with SplaTT
Caught up with Mick Stanic aka SplaTT for coffee @ Starbucks in Darling Harbour, first blogger I have met in person. If you don’t know Mick is one half of the G’Day World podcast. I should of blogged about this yesterday, before he was on DSC and BBC now I just look like a groupie!Continue reading “Coffee with SplaTT”
I just quit my job
After many weeks of interviews, tests and a lot of hard thinking I have quit my job. I will be joining WMC in late January, based in Melbourne. For our oversea’s reader’s Melbourne is about just over 1 hour’s flight south of Sydney. I will no longer be working for a software vendor, back intoContinue reading “I just quit my job”
HR = Socialism?
This morning I have been reading an item written by Dr John Sullivan for Workforce and I agree with him to a point and this just could be a cultural difference (Australia v US) but I don’t know. If also could be because my brain is not thinking straight after spending most of last nightContinue reading “HR = Socialism?”
