Sustainability – Fifth Comms Network meeting

By Richard Hare ⋅ January 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The fifth meeting of the Melcrum Communicator’s Network London Group last night and there’s still not a snappier name for the group! McNelog, M.C.

When I met up with Tony Quinlan recently, there were two things we both agreed about blogging. One was that we both wanted to contribute something original and worthwhile.

Experiencing Scrum

By Richard Hare ⋅ April 20, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

“Oh, dinosaurs!” I should’ve got to grips with Quentin Blake’s book earlier – there’s a whole section on drawing dogs. I can’t imagine Hugh MacLeod is quaking in his boots. Across town to Microsoft’s Cambridge Research Centre on Wednesday night for April’s SPA CAM meeting. This month’s session was a workshop based around Scrum. If [...]
