I realised this morning that if I didn't carve out some time, then 2024 would have gone down in history as the year with the fewest ever entries of 'Big Picture' blogs since records began 10 years ago. I couldn't allow that to happen - so it now...

Let’s have a chat …

08/02/2023 by: Professor David Lloyd

Admit it. You've been curious. Wanted to know what all the fuss is about. I admit that I was. So, I thought that I may as well have a go. In answer to the first question that popped into my head, ChatGPT responded by producing a very feasible...

Calmly we walk through testing times.

I started writing this blog on the 22 nd Feb. I thought it'd be cool if I managed to post it at 22 minutes past ten pm. 22.22.22.2.22. The fact that you're only reading it now means I obviously didn't get it finished in time. I'm pretty sure that...

Signs of normal life

01/10/2020 by: Professor David Lloyd

It’s been quite a year. As Spring is finally sprung and weather assumes some semblance of normality following its celebration of Winnie the Pooh’s 90 th  birthday (that’s a very oblique cultural reference- points will be awarded to those that get...

UNIJAM: Shaping the Enterprise

03/06/2016 by: Professor David Lloyd

Well, we came, we saw, we jammed and jammed and jammed for 30 hours straight. And then we slept and suffered through withdrawal. Some of us sneaked back online to read and re-read the jammy content (the site is still live, in read-only form until...
