Trackbacks

See, I’m growing up. This is my first trackback, with congrats to Ioannis on his weblog’s 1st birthday. I learnt about this from a link Ioannis sent me How trackback works. Although, after some more surfing it seems that trackbacks are not without their shortcomings.

Roses are #ff0000

I saw this t-shirt, a geek look at the popular rhyme.

Vibrant call centre

Our esteemed university’s Career Service has sent me another e-mail with jobs. One of them calls for a “natural-born salesperson” to work in a “Vibrant call centre”. Despite rumours to the contrary, my mother insists that I was natural-born. But as for a vibrant call centre, I’ll believe that one when I see it!

Anybody recognise the P of the USA saying “If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure”

Munich bound

Hey guys (in Manchester)! How about a weekend in Munich? Let’s have your comments. In case you need reminding, there’s a certain someone who lives there now, and (against his express desires) I managed to invite ourselves to a weekend there. There might be some festivals going on that we can time our visit to coincide with, suggests Jonny.
P.S. Munich is in Germany 😛

Priorities

“Never let the big things in life distract you from focussing on the inconsequential”. Which means I should be working on my dissertation at the moment, not wasting my time here.

Information is important

But is that just the info-centric view of us Information Specialists? (I’m using the term loosely here to include my humble self). Surely an accountant will differ. And I came across an article titled “What do IT specialists know about managing change” (Parc & Jutras) which is also related to the question of whether IS experts are in a position to advise managers.
