If you missed our UK TechDays Online event a couple of weeks ago then don’t be sad, the content is now online, on demand.

Planning time has started at Microsoft. During the last couple of weeks people started to develop plans at all levels and those plans start to flow up, down and across the company. It’s an interesting process to behold, something that only happens in an organisation that looks at outcomes and considers actions. We all decide what we want to do to achieve the goal.
This weeks highlights:
Planning, learning, thinking.
Next week Andrew and I are presenting a session at Spiceworld (!), the community feedback on the session has been encouraging. We best plan it.

This past week has been mainly about being on holiday and spending time with the family, something I really needed to do after the TechDays Online week. That little week required five 12 to 14 hour days pull off and it reminded me somewhat of being “on call” back in the day. The other highlights of the week:
Lots of time with Lucy, mainly in her helmet, sometimes without.
Lots of time in Ikea.
Some thinking time – BYOD, Bring Your Own Device / PYOD, Purchase Your Own Device…two different things. Some thoughts on this courtesy of a paper by one of [...] Continue Reading…
Well Matt was right, it doesn’t take long to slip. This Week Note is being posted part way through the week because the end of last week was a mad dash over the line with UK TechDays Online 2013 – but a good time was had by all. Anyway these are the highlights and thoughts of the week. Most insightful thought, Matt Ballantine talked about consumerisation and used an analogy to a car…my thought, why don’t IT do annual check ups on your PC to keep it tuned. Perhaps they should. Producing and presenting a live event like [...] Continue Reading…
This week is inspired by the thought of proving Matt wrong and actually getting a second week note out the door. This week I’ve been mainly: Delivering a Windows 8 IT camp in Southampton, Chris who attended wrote up a trip report for the IT Camp on his blog. Funny story of the day was that we got internet just an 5 minutes before we went live. I say funny… I got two episodes of The Deployment Sessions out the door on Deeplinking on Windows RT and Windows 8 from Windows Intune. Preparations for Tech.Days Online UK 2013 [...] Continue Reading…
In this deployment sessions video I take a look at the Deeplinking process using Windows Intune to install an app on Windows RT. The deeplinking process essentially lets you place apps from the Windows Store in your own company store, or Company Portal… [...] Continue Reading…
