Mmmm – Bombay Sapphire – the perfect gin. Mix in proportion with the perfect tonic, add ice, lemon and relax.
Try deep-freezing your gin. The higher alcohol Bombay Sapphire (47%) does not freeze; instead it turns into a thick, oily, viscous liquid – a little like concentrated sulphuric acid.

Way back in the Pre-Novell days I was amazed at the on-line porfolio of thevoid – a UK based new media company. They were in Manchester (or certainly “Up North”) – but now look to be based in London where the streets are paved with gold.
Some of the Flash-based rendering and animation seems old-hat now – and oh so smooth on a fast P4 – but six and a half years ago this was cutting edge:

I found Ishkurs Guide to Electronic Music online guide a long long time ago – and it’s recently been freshened.

We have both used various Mind Mapping Software in our various roles; I’ve used The Brain extensively since early 2000 and more recently been looking at Visual Mind
With a switch to the Novell Linux Desktop I’ve had to re-evaluate the tools on offer; also working with maps across a team means that some level of interoperability is required. Mark showed me FreeMind – and it seems to fit the bill exactly. Cross platform, Open and best of all Free
I’ll post some more on how I get on with this.

Dudes…
One of the best Mind Mapping toolsets on the market is Mind Manager developed by MindJet. Fortunately, I do not run Windows… only Mac OS and Linux in this guys house!!
Free Mind is a great tool to use to map out your thoughts and ideas as they are running through your cranium. Captured, on paper, ready to engage!! I highly recommend using this to keep your ideas organized, and to use during brainstorming sessions.
Cheers!!

My fourth visit to Lebanon, NH – and this time I can write about it!

The Tally Systems offices are in Lebanon, New Hampshire; it’s very different from the locations of other Novell offices I’ve worked in (Cambridge MA, Waltham MA, Provo UT, San Jose CA, Bracknell UK etc) – the setting is pretty rural in the Upper Valley in NH.
The weather this time is stunning – it’s warm and sunny; the views of the mountains and forest are incredible; and very different from Provo.
