Node Six Season 3
First day at office for this year.
Well, technically we’ve been working from home, more like monitoring servers, but this is the day we officially started work.
Node Six is in its third year, and we’re gearing up for some fairly massive changes to the way we do things around here. Let’s just say it’s going to [...]
break’s over
It’s surprising how fast time flies. Two weeks ago we were breaking off and looking forward to the long festive season. And yet here we are, two days to the end of the break.
At least I’ve managed to get tonnes of much needed rest. Whether it’s been helpful or not remains to be seen, but [...]
yep, we made it.
Oh yeah, I made it!
Looks like you made it too!
Awesome!!
Happy New Year!
2009 is filled with so much optimism no?
I personally think it’s going to be brilliant.
And even though it doesn’t turn out to be what I hope it to be,
I’m still gonna have one heck of a good time.
But I don’t think I’ll forget, it’s [...]
merry Christmas toute le monde, plus an owl thrown in
First off, for those of you who think xkcd and Dilbert are riotously funny, I found another gem on the interwebs: Daisy Owl. Do Enjoy. You might want to start from the beginning.

And now, since most of you [may] be breaking off this Friday, and some of us will continue to monitor our servers to [...]
making your own luck
I know many people who seem to have an impressive amount of success at almost anything they do, whatever deal they touch somehow turns to gold.
Most of us would write them off as simply “being lucky.”
But I believe it goes further than that.
I believe that behind almost every legitimate success story, there are hundreds of [...]
may my works be pleasing in your eyes
While we’re still on the subject of being grateful, another thought for you to munch on.
A lot of the things we do in our different capacities are because we’re trying to please someone. Maybe we want to please ourselves, impress our friends or mollify our loved ones.
Maybe we want to get into the boss’ good [...]
the return of the rogue king
Wow. It feels like a lifetime since I last blogged or got online. How are you, good people?
It’s been a crazy four weeks, cannot even begin to recap. But, here’s a summary:
Kyebando - Nsooba
Last Friday, I finally left the family home deep in Kyebando. Don’t lie, you don’t know where that is. My work there [...]
bravery is not the absence of fear
The self evaluation madness continues. I know I have talked much about fear, etc, but it not the fear we all identify with, it’s a different breed of fear. Maybe The Apprentice and Mr B2B and The Emrys can identify, plus most of you anyways.
So.
Two profound things I’ve read on bravery and courage, one I [...]
shoshin - learn like you know nothing
Allow me to use and quote a couple of metaphors, borrowed from Zen Buddhism (no, I am not converting) to illustrate something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately.
Shoshin
From Wikipedia:
A concept in Zen Buddhism meaning “Beginner’s Mind”.
It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying a subject, even [...]
thank you, again
Abba, You pulled off an impossible miracle yesterday.
I almost cried. I love you so much.
Thank you.
