Over the last year the train system across Sydney has been collapsing under mis-management and technical issues. Delays of 1 30 minutes are regular enough to cause major frustrations. Sometime it can take be 2 hrs to complete a journey that should only take about 45 minutes. Eventually Rebecca Tuner a legal secretary had hadContinue reading “Can one person make an impact?”

It is interesting to see the wave of public support for Firefox. I have been watching news articles pouring out all over the globe about Firefox and I personally now use if for most day to day browsing, although some sites do not support Firefox just yet. Chris Holland has a new term Firefox Advocator,Continue reading “Firefox Advocator”

I just finished reading an amazing story of Audion a MP3/Music player for the Mac (via Charles Arthur). Nothing to do with HR or HRIS just a really interesting story of how two guys in an appartment who’s software almost bacame iTunes.
Keep It Simple Stupid or KISS!
I wrote about Google’s current billboard advertising last month. This week I noticed something very interesting outside our local Holden (GM for those in the US) dealership. They are advertising for new technicans via a sign they have placed out the front of the dealership. Why is this interesting? Well directly opposite them is twoContinue reading “Keep It Simple Stupid or KISS!”
Want to go to Blogging University?
OrackeJack (aka Rob Williams) has put together an intro on blogging. I have not had a chance to review all of the content, however the bits I have looked at contain content from Rob and links to other sites.

While I am not sure I completely agree with the complete item it does raise in interesting perspective that we all need to face over the next 5 – 10 years. That is the make upContinue reading “Trade unions and Gen X & Y”
What’s happened this week?
This week has been a little quiet on the blogging front, there are a couple of reasons for this. First and the biggest time! Second I have not really had more to write about, maybe I am having “thinkers block”, or something. Anyway it is Friday and I think things are going to change todayContinue reading “What’s happened this week?”
Microsoft out of touch?
I was reading this item on Yahoo News and was amused by the comments of Steve Vamos and Ben English. Firstly Vamos is yet to use Firefox, I would have thought he would have at least been interested to give it a small go. However the bit I found interesting was the comment from benContinue reading “Microsoft out of touch?”
