My new view


The view from my new office window. You can just see a bit of the harbour :). Hopefully though I'll be able to work much more from home or on the road so I won't have to actually be "in" the office a lot.

Funding confirmed


An exciting result from my trip is that we've just had funding confirmed for our next venture. So no holidays for me for the near future. We've also signed the strategic partnership we've been courting for our ICT partner and so that's all go. 2008 will be a busy year. On a side note I just ordered a replacement for the Fuji P1610D. It has served me well but I've finally committed to a new convertible tablet solution that will allow me to run Vista considering it's such a resource hog. I've ordered a LG P-100 Express Dual. With 2GB of Ram and a dedicated graphics card it should be able to handle Vista Business.
