These days, it seems, the information highway is moving faster than ever and with it the need for 24/7 support for those relying on it more and more to connect to the world through the maze of online platforms. Like my mother. I was just sitting down to dinner on Sunday night when she reared […]
Many of us rely on smart phones these days, but if you live in WA you would be best to remember that it does not do to rely on them while in your car. There were a number of people sharing horror stories in the office the other day of people they knew who had […]
What with the terror of flying, the stress of leaving my dogs and the worry over my parents, one thing I had not concerned myself too much about was accessing the internet. My husband had travelled solo back to Ireland a couple of years ago and far from being the mind spa I had envisaged […]
It is good to see things from the other side occasionally, which is why I never mind helping out on recruitment panels. There is nothing like being on the judges’ side of the fence to remind you of what you need to do when writing a job application or being interviewed for a position. It […]
Yesterday I had twenty four hours to get my assignment in. I had honestly thought that I would still be working on it today but I reckoned without my own failings as a person. It is a very short assignment, only 1500 words and it is about me, although supposed to reference research that I […]
I spent quite a lot of money in quite a short amount of time today. I am currently typing this blog from the softly back-lit keyboard of a Lenovo Thinkpad 710S. My brother had brought his shiny golden one (GOLDen FINGerrrrrrs…. as Shirley Bassey never sung) over for Xmas and it was a nice looking […]
Well I finally did it, and it was not easy. I should have known it was going to be a wrench because the same thing happened when we bought our house. I opened a bank account with the Perth Building Society, or PBS when we first arrived in Perth in 1981. I kept it until […]
Like many people of my age, I am largely self-taught when it comes to technology. When I was at school I absolutely refused to do typing classes because the worst job that I could ever imagine having to do was being a secretary. Little did I know that despite my puny resistance, I would end […]
I walked back into the office today and it felt really weird. It felt like I had been on holiday, that is if you like to spend your holiday in a massive concrete area with no windows or clocks. People were going about their business and carrying on as normal and I felt like I […]
I have heard a bt about drones – not war drones bombing innocent civilians, but the latest craze in slightly elaborate model aircraft. I think the first time they came across my radar were when Amazon announced they were going to deliver books using them. It all seemed pretty far fetched at the time. Later […]
