Had to, no seriously... As much as it pained me (and trust me it did) to buy something that runs Windows mobile, in all reality I had to make a choice. Basically my trusty Palm, after four years of daily battering, decided to give up the ghost. Now I loved my Palm, it did everything I needed it to do but it also lacked in a few areas. My fault that it did, I bought it just at the wrong time, just as new PDA's suddenly burst on to the scene packed with features; I bought too early. Sadly it was soon overtaken by newer models but I stuck with it because it with a few tweaks and writing my own apps for it I managed to get it to do pretty much everything I had wanted it to do. The only thing I could never get it to do with was sync with my email and calendar at work and only because they refuse to support it (due to the email client we use).

So due to the fact I start I new job, one that will probably make me in to a meeting monkey and the need to be a lot more mobile, I decided to buy an iPAQ. I bought one because I know they're supported at my place of work and already I am enjoying the benefits of instant email via Wi-Fi (we have a massive network), contact back-up of my mobile and what not. I'll do a review with the model number when I get the time.

This has now opened another Pandora's box for me. I could really do with a Wireless router now... :)

Things have been somewhat, well, crazy at work in the last few weeks. Where I work has been starting the process of buying and implementing a content management system (CMS). Now in my current role I have been a part of that process by feeding in through various groups to get the job done. This has meant lots of meetings but it also meant two days away during the product selection process. Well we got through all that and selected a product. I can't talk about it and I won't because the first rule about tek's blog is you don't talk about work, you don't mention names, locations - you know how it works. Anyway suffice to say I'm happy with the selection and I think it'll do the job we need it to.

On top of that and this is where things started to get a little mad, I was in effect head-hunted by another section of where I work. From the 21st of May I will be part of a brand new team of people who are the implementation team. This will consist of a small (3 person) team that will oversee the implementation of the CMS in to our organisation. This might not sound groovy to some of you, but let me tell you it's a serious promotion on the ground for me (with a pay rise) and also it means we can do allsorts of things that I've been trying to push for a long time.

My role will be the technical side of implementation and advising the person (the only one) above me in the team who will be with us for two years, after that we're running the show. We will be hammering out a totally new web strategy and allsorts which is cool, no EXCITING in fact. Due to the fact that I don't go in to details about where I work and what sort of things go on it's hard for me to relay to you how truly awesome this is. Trust me though, it is!

Bring it on!

Picture of people with Gas Masks on in Military uniform

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
