Whose bright idea was scheduling?

I’m in the middle of a two year project to roll out a project management software package in a large construction company.  The first year was taken up with requirements gathering, writing specs, putting together a tender, sending the tender out to prospective software vendors, evaluating the responses, signing contracts with the successful vendor and [...]

YouTube trying to suck so hard that it’s impossible to ignore

This is a rarity for me, writing on the same topic two days in a row.  Rarer still, I feel the need to vent even more anger about YouTube.  I’m compelled to preface it all by saying yet again that the free, easy hosting and distribution provided by YouTube means I owe them far more [...]

YouTube provides variation in same old way of sucking to suck in a new way

I know if I really, really hated YouTube I should just stop using it but I’ve invested too much in it to give up now.  I keep getting invitations from other video sharing sites to join them but I really can’t be bothered at this point.  I’ll stick with YouTube for now but I wish [...]

You know what opinions are like?

My mind has been wandering a bit today as I consider what to write here.  I was toying with the idea of why we actually do anything.  From the mundane activity of going to jobs we don’t really  like to truly inexplicable things like why did millions of soldiers, sometimes tens of thousands in a single [...]

What’s your point?

Ever since I put up my post (and made a video) suggesting Sheryl Crow should shut the fuck up, I’ve been formulating what I want to say about climate change “skeptics”. Skepticism is a good thing generally, being naturally skeptical will protect you more often than it will hurt you. Blind faith is far more [...]

Welcome to stressvile – population: me!

It may not be immediately obvious to readers of this blog but I have a slight tendency towards obsessiveness (/sarcasm).  It usually helps in my work because my job is essentially to solve problems so an obsessive nature helps when you have to pursue a particularly elusive solution.  The trouble is, when I can’t see [...]

Pretty much everyone on YouTube can shut the fuck up now

I made myself a promise a while ago that I wouldn’t indulge in the pathetic, whiny negativity exhibited by so many on YouTube by making any videos attacking specific people.  Sure, I take a stand against what I see as negative behaviour (racism, general hater-ism) but I don’t single out individual people and say “you [...]

The winds of change

It’s amazing how quickly plans for where you’re going with your work can change.  It seems like every other day there’s a news story about thousands of layoff in some industry or other.  That’s at the really harsh end of change and fortunately I’m not being subjected to that right now.  No, right now I [...]

Internet Dating Tips

I actually posted the content for this video on this blog a long time ago but I thought it was time to share my internet dating tips with the YouTube masses.  Plus, the more recent arrivals to this blog won’t have read my relationships posts so this will be new material to them.  And maybe [...]
