  1. Here's a thought. As the Cloud expands, is the role of enterprise architect contracting until it simply won't be relevant at all in 3 years?
  2. @bankervision To you, too James. And rest assured, I'll be the first to shout about the positives as they appear!
  3. @bankervision Indeed - du Maurier wrote in Punch in 1895: "You seem to have a bad egg there". "No, I assure you its excellent in parts..."
  4. The biggest public sector since communist Russia and we still can't keep the private sector that sustains it moving. Now that is chilling.
  5. @bankervision Ahh, yes, Manchester Airport is owned by Manchester Council. Get used to public sector inefficiencies, James, its all yours...
  6. @bankervision Hey, my home turf. At the airport, the Radisson is great - or try the Etrop Grange - much less "flighty". 10 minutes away.
  7. Amazed why people still struggle with Exchange. Stick your head in the Cloud, open your browser and try Zimbra. You'll never look back!
  8. Anyone looking for the perfect antidote to Christmas (marketing) songs? try new Muse album The Revolution. Get the limited edition with DVD!
  9. I don't need this at 1:30am - a sloping and icy driveway and my car sliding slowly toward my garage as I walk away. Handbrake fully on.
  10. @philipnorton42 Ahhh! WordPress 2.9 requires MySQL version 4.1.2 or higher. My ISP is still on 4.0.27. Won't upgrade!
  11. Cheque not in the post: EDS/HP mainframe crash brings down entire RBS cheque clearing system. Let's hope exec bonus cheques are involved!
  12. HSBC now not to build data centre in York+100 perm IT+2000 construction staff. Will use existing facilities. Imagine savings from Cloud...
  13. Terrific. Just received an email from Dell. My order dated 27-Oct expected 30-Dec. third revised delivery date so far... Dell - WTF?
  14. Talking to RBS staffer this week who like to see the brand die and work for old Williams Glyns. Would you bank with a High Street spin off?
  15. @bankervision - absolutely true, but surely statute of limitations expired now on LBG - after all as 40% stakeholders we should be told :-)
  16. @bankervision You tell us what innovators shouldn't be doing, but nothing of what you're actually achieving. Mouth > trousers, Mr G?
  17. Motorola's Droid: A Milestone for Motorola or its gravestone, could poor marketing mean bye-bye moto? http://www.blog.lanzen.co.uk/?p=1923
  18. Take a look at PRO-Stretch. I've just re-branded them and taken them from SQL Server to SalesForce in the Cloud. http://www.pro-stretch.net
  19. Great! Some fresh air's just blown into banking. Boutique banks have arrived - Metro Bank's the first. http://www.blog.lanzen.co.uk/?p=1831
  20. Check out Google. Then look at Microsoft's bing. Is it fighting a battle that Google's moved on from? http://www.blog.lanzen.co.uk/?p=1726
