If ever anyone needed a CRM - B&Q customer servicePosted by: Kelvin Lawrance Tagged in: just thoughts
|
Back in April I removed a dilapidated shed from my back garden and decided to replace it with two smaller bike stores. Two suitable bike stores were purchased but six months later one of them remains in pieces and I am continuing a battle with B&Q to obtain the missing fittings kit for one of them. This isn't a moan about quality of the product or price - with sheds I find you get what you pay for - but I have been stunned that in these days of technology B&Q's customer service doesn't seem to have anything more advanced than a scrap of paper and a pen on which to note my various enquiries.

How will Google Wave circumvent the challenge of the corporate firewall?Posted by: Kelvin Lawrance Tagged in: software
|
There is clearly a fuss about Google Wave. People appear desperate for an invite to the 100,000 user trial as they assume it will be the next big thing. For me it's a nice idea that will unfortunately not surmount my greatest issue for on-line collaboration - the corporate security policy.

Frustrating weekend - Adobe AIR problems on a Lenovo netbookPosted by: Kelvin Lawrance Tagged in: applications

I spend a lot of time on the train. Not as much as some but more than I care for. Anyway, when all the email is processed and I feel I can work no more I have been known to catch up on a little TV courtesy of the BBC's iPlayer. As long as I've remembered to download something of interest in the last 7 days I can pass the time with a little light comedy or something more educational. Or at least I could until the BBC felt the need to improve things and therefore upgraded the iPlayer Desktop.

If you're familiar with the criticism of some 'Z list' celebrities that they would turn up at the opening of a paper bag then you may think it applicable to my business networking strategy of old. If there was a networking event going on then I'd be there, even if there was no free lunch.

After recent articles in the press, I have become increasingly concerned about the security of data on my USB memory stick. To overcome this, I have started using TrueCrypt encryption software......
