  • Four speaking engagements coming up

    I’m just going to list them… This Saturday (July 18th), at Code Camp SA . I’m going to be talking about functions in SQL, particularly those that involve BEGIN and END. At the end of the month, at the ACS Branch Conference . I’m going to be part of a panel discussing Open Source v Closed Source. In August...

  • Code Camp hits Adelaide

    July 7-8 is the date for Code Camp SA. If you're superstitious and seven is your lucky number, then it might be worth pointing out that the date is 7/7/7. It's being organised by ADNUG, UniSA and the ACS, and you can find a full list of speakers here . I won't be there, but the Australian...

  • Paul Turner

    Paul Turner is an Adelaide guy I know well. He's been a trainer at Kaz for quite a while, is on the local ACS executive committee with me and has been involved in the local .Net user-group too. He's had a couple of major lifestyle changes in the last couple of weeks. Most significantly, he's become a...

  • Coffee and Community

    It's amazing how coffee can be conducive to community. Community is about sharing, it's about developing passion and enthusiasm, it's about friendship. And coffee is too. The age-old invite - "Let's do coffee" - is a great way to sit down with someone. It's cheaper and less formal than lunch, and it...

  • ACS BEC meeting

    Last night I attended my first ACS Branch Executive Committee (SA) meeting. It was certainly quite interesting. Great to meet the other people, even some of those who are stepping down from the committee now (presumably to be replaced by me!). The new chairman, Reg Coutts seems like a very interesting...

  • On learning (Calvin and Hobbes, the ACS and digital natives)

    Digital natives learn differently. How do we take advantage of that? The funny thing is that right away, I've written this from an external perspective, when I'm probably in a mixture of both camps. Feel free to consider me in either camp as you read this. At TechEd Australia this year, the keynote...

  • What's wrong with IT?

    To a large degree, it's the perception of experience. The IT industry has so many things wrong with it. It tends to be 'governed' (I don't know of a better word for what I mean there, 'run' would be wrong) by people in their 50s. It's also full of Cowboys and Indians (and...

  • ACS SA Branch Committee

    I've been nominated for the ACS SA Branch Committee. I've been a member of the ACS for a few months now - a Senior Member even. But it hasn't really meant a lot so far. As I want to be an influencer, particularly in regards to promoting IT in Adelaide (it's where I live, and I figure...
