After spending more than thirty five years in Information Technology, the whole industry still delights, amazes and frustrates me like nothing else. - Rodney Spaulding, Mangaging Partner - planetblu
I started learning to program computers using punchcards. If you don't know what they are, you'd better Google it. The first time I actually got my hands on a computer was at a nearby college that had an old Digital pdp 8. It's now in a museum. From there I saved enough money to buy one of the first TRS-80's that landed in Australia. And who remembers 'The Source' BBS system from Australia? Imagine being able to connect via a voice coupled modem to a mainframe.
Now we are in the age of the Internet. I believe Internet should be free, just like air. But then again, I think food and healthcare should be free too. I'm delighted when it brings people and knowledge together. I love the idea of working from a little apartment overlooking the Amalfi Coast in Italy, or from the deck of yacht in the Whitsundsay's. That's the way work should be done. Right now I'm pretty impressed with my new Windows 7 phone called the Nokia Lumina 800. In my mind, the Windows Phone has become the phone of choice for business.
As you can tell, I love gadgets, computers and related stuff and the productive things they can do. I'm not into computer games, except maybe Flight Simulator, which allows me to fly when I can't do the real thing. The best thing is I get to do this for work! I hope you enjoy my blog and I know you will enjoy the service you get from my team at planetblu.
