Embracing mobile, or am I?

by Ross Allchorn

Having recently been forced to relocate 1000 miles from where I’ve called home for the last 12 years, I’ve had to make some rather speedy amendments to my daily work schedule. The most notable of which is making far more extensive use of my Nokia e61i smart phone.

Relocating and struggling to get connected

by Ross Allchorn

Well, sometimes things don’t go according to plan. New offices lined up, huge amounts of effort on a house we were looking forward to spending a good while in and everything on the up and up… all changed in a phone call. That call came from my dad’s house, and it wasn’t my dad on […]
