Finally time for South Coast Summit 2025, always a nice buzz around the hotel the night before a conference starts, meeting old friends, catching up with fellow speakers, delegates, with everyone excited to learn.

Looking forward to delivering a workshop 3 months in the making on Microsoft AI!

Like all pilots today, thoughts are with the passengers, crew and families of Air India 171 which has crashed. Hard as a fellow pilot to know what was going through the minds of the flight deck crew. So many probably causes so let the authorities do their work

All this talk about waking from home. Worth remembering, in 1665, the University of Cambridge closed temporarily due to the Bubonic plague. During this time, Isaac Newton worked from home, where he developed what we know as calculus and formulated the theory of gravity.
