It's all over now baby ... Orange

As the working year draws to an end, so too does my current employment contract, which started nearly seven years ago when I joined Freeserve - which re-branded to Wanadoo after France Telecom acquisition and then changed name again to Orange earlier this year.
Its been an interesting ride from fresh faced Dot Com to corporate monster. I initially joined Freeserve (after being pursued for some time by a rabid pack of recruiters) because it seemed like a place with pockets suitably deep enough to offer some shelter from the dot com bubble bursting. However, having made the transition from senior producer to Innovation and technology consultant early on in my tenure I must admit that it turned out to be far more fun than I anticipated.

But now, the time is right to once more venture forward under my own steam, so its back into the heady world of freelance consultancy and start-up stress.

So, I'm going to enjoy a Christmas break at get stuck in on Jan 2nd 2007 when the hang overs clear!

Here is a clip of us playing live on the London leg of G-Fest earlier this month.

Starting afresh

So, this blog seems somewhat sparse for 2010, thats the effect of a mixture my focus being elsewhere and the blogger service altering its range of publishing options and me only just getting around to switching. The blog has now moved to techiedog.blogspot.com . Still ... onwards and upwards.

OpenCoffee

The first Huddersfield OpenCoffee got off to a cracking start with 34 people passing through the event and a max concurrent attendance of 26. We plan to repeat the meet up on the Second Wednesday of every month. It was a great mix of Entrepreneurs, Engineers, designers, Investors, Legal peeps, and RIA types - a perfect mix. I managed to get around and talk to quite a few people but by no means all, but there were many active conversations happening.
