Mr Angry’s rules for permanent employees working with contractors

This post in my series on contracting focuses on suggestions for non-management permanent employees working with contractors. The driver for this is that over the years I’ve worked on both sides of the fence and I’ve seen the sorts of preconceptions and misconceptions that can strain working relationships between permanent and contract staff. The sources [...]

An angry drive (part four)

This is why it’s dangerous to let me have a camera - I get a head of steam and don’t stop.  This one’s almost six minutes without an edit and includes my calm and measured attitude to 4WD/SUV owners.

The Malcolm Gladwell article I referred to in this rant is at the following URL:

Mr Angry on MySpace

This is another YouTube “response” video, answering the question posed by Mr Safety: What would people do in a world without MySpace?

Beauty tips from Mr Angry

This video is a response to one of the popular YouTubers, i.e. another desperate attempt by me to ride on someone else’s coat-tails. It also features the behind the scenes “making of” video of the first of my new t-shirts, courtesy of my wonderful, talented girlfriend. Bound to be the top fashion item of the [...]

An angry drive (part three)

This is a shorter grab from my angry drive that starts where the last ones finishes and ends with a frank and shocking admission.  I’m nothing if not honest.

I had to finish this at that point (although that’s a good finishing point) because after this I go on an uninterrupted chain of consciousness rant that [...]

An angry drive (part two)

Well, after a bit of editing, here’s the second stage of my drive to work.  I start off fairly philisiophical but then my mood degenerates pretty quickly.   In other words, it’s Mr Angry being Mr Angry.

For anyone who wants the URL, here it is:

An angry drive (part one)

I thought I’d try something a little different and do a vlog while driving to work. It’s a bit of a long drive so I’ve cut it into bite sized chunks and this is the first part.

Mr Angry’s rules for employing contractors

I previously wrote about rules I thought contractors should follow in order to have a happy life. Of course, contractors themselves are only part of the equation. Everybody else has their part to play. This post contains suggestion for people currently employing or planning to employ contractors. The rules covered below are based on my [...]

Technorati seems to be having some problems

I was doing one of my random trawls through Technorati (I’ve hit the top 50,000 by the way, woohoo!) instead of working and saw that they may have a few bugs to work out with their new-look site. For those of you who don’t keep track of things (99.9% of the human population) Technorati revamped [...]

A short video interlude

I am still deeply dissatisfied with my failure to dominate YouTube. Originally I was simply using YouTube as a tool to serve up videos for this blog but since seeing how many viewers a lot of the videos on YouTube get, I’m determined to get a bit of that action. It’s that whole world domination [...]
