We all know and love our own favourite desktop photo editing & image manipulation software, for me it has to be photoshop. Now we are in the cloud there are other on-line versions when you just want a quick fix, gimp is a great example.

I was very privileged this week to be invited along to a talk by Dr Kieron O’Hara at the British Computer Society and I would like to share my interpretation, synopsis and thoughts on the talk . Dr Kieron O’Hara is a senior research fellow in Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, and a research fellow of the Web Science Research Initiative, currently on the LiveMemories project. He is the author of nine books and has also written extensively on British politics and political theory, and is a research fellow for the Centre for Policy Studies. His talk was based on a new craze still in its infancy called Lifelogging.

During the course of our projects, we often run into situations where our customer needs some massaging. Issues come up, problems arise that are the fault of the delivery team, budget overruns happen, and schedules slip. Rarely does a project team make it through an entire engagement without the customer being upset – often justifiably so – about something.
