Effective Management Issue

Dialog between me and the manager that happened in the past. The department manager who reports to another manager who reports to director - all sit in the same office space and see each other well. Massive well-known company. Manager : You're gonna be careful. John The Manager said you spend too much time on Facebook. Me : I know, but I have been working on the marketing campaign that we are implementing using Facebook and that you approved last week for me to do. Manager : Hmm, good then. I will tell him. Thanks. Curtains.

Chinatown in #Sydney

The best place in #Sydney for a variety of food for reasonable price - Chinatown. Also a good indication of what language other than English has to be learnt.

Picking Mandarins

Such a great day at the mandarin orchard at Watkins Family Farm ! When I called them and asked whether cards are accepted they said: "We don't have electricity here mate" :) Awesome place.

iWork for iCloud - first impression

Today have got a hold of iWork for iCloud beta . I use MS SkyDrive and Docs for Facebook for online documents editing at the moment. So I decided to give iWorks for iCloud a quick try. Started with Numbers:  Browser is not fully supported: Checked, need Chrome 27 for full support I guess: However it still works: Tried to "Share", but received a message that iCloud Mail isn't set up: Does it mean that I can only share the link in an email? Tried uploading the working Excel spreadsheet: Drag-n-dropped: Here we go: Looks mostly fine, but got some formatting issue: Then tried Pages: Same message about the browser: $525,000?! Nice and clean interface: Tried some typing and found some minor issues: Have just installed Google Chrome 27 . Going to use iWorks for iCloud for some time to try it's features. Looks nice.
