Spent this morning in Arif\u2019s studios filming a piece for our new web site. It really did bring it home to me how difficult it is to speak to a camera, even when it\u2019s a subject you know about and really believe in. But I enjoyed it, it was a good experience and helped me to realise what our customers have to go through when they are presenting.\u00a0 Doing the filming this morning with Arif and the team seemed to generate a load of positive energy which has carried on throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a busy couple of weeks really. And in the middle of a hectic series of six events, including Tesco and Unum, I\u2019ve just completed a charity function for the local church and provided a stage for the RAF Honiton Band to help to raise money for the church funds. To be honest I could have done without that this week but like the buses, they all seem to come at once. Anyway, it all went very well.<\/p>\n<p>Been experimenting with Skype for free internet based telephone and video calling. There seems to be a lot of people using it. We loaded the software onto Sandie\u2019s machine and found she already had 103 contacts in her address book already using it. So we\u2019ve been playing around this afternoon linking our machines in the Suffolk office with Hertfordshire. So far we\u2019ve got sound and vision one way but only vision the other, which is a bit frustrating so much so we\u2019ve even got to the point of reading the manual. We\u2019re three quarters of the way there, so watch this space. It could be a useful facility for our customers if they\u2019re interested in using it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday afternoon and I\u2019ve been in the office all day; only because I took the day off on Friday and now I\u2019ve got to catch up with the paper work.
