Office 2003 & 2007

If you want to install Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office 2007 on the same Windows 7 computer there are a couple of considerations that should be made.

Whenever I write anything on this blog I try to write as both the teacher and the pupil, why? The fact is that we are all both teachers and pupils deep down and this is a fundamental feature of humans. We have a deep need to learn things and a natural sense of curiosity. While [...]

Dealing with failure

I consider myself to be very lucky as I love what I do. Sometimes it gets a little frustrating when everything happens at once and there is just not enough bodies to throw at the problems but on the whole I *really* love what I do and the people that I work with. What I [...]

Insanity is only a state of mind

Are you getting what the IT community is about yet? A while back I wrote a post about the power of the IT community and what it can deliver to you, it seems so strange looking back that there was a time when I didn’t ‘get it’. Right now I am sat in a TravelLodge [...]
