What:
– A personal weblog to share, discuss and learn – Data Centres, Clouds, and Apps being the main focus.

Where:
– Onliiiine, ont’interweb, etc.

Why:
– This blog -> Learning, awareness, putting something back out there.  This blog is about sharing practical guidance gleaned from my day-to-day life.  My blogging past also taught me that it’s an excellent way to make sure that you know subject areas to a greater level of detail than you normally would… if you don’t, you wouldn’t dare put it out there to be repeated as fact or pulled apart! 😉  I enjoy writing, specifically ‘translating’ things that I feel have been made to look more complex than they are into something more consumable, meaningful and ‘real-world’/practical.  Also, perspectives, views, etc. = more to be respected, more to be understood, more to be considered!
– “Snapshots of Relevance” -> It was randomly blurted out during an appraisal, followed by “did I really just say that?” which then led to my boss taking the micky with the help of some others.  It stuck around.  I should never ever work in marketing.

How:
– Keep abreast of current and new technologies + solutions.
– Spot and assess current and future market dynamics.
– Awareness of sector and business-specific trends and needs.
– Mental discipline.
– Energy.
– Reduced sleep.
