I’m Writing a Book

 I recently started a private blog, writing about things involved with running Software Testing Club and working towards my personal aims of running a flexible and sustainable business.  The highs, the lows, nitty gritty details that I normally wouldn’t write about online.  Perhaps an odd bit of Rosie humour in there too! It’s not something [...]

Customer Service That Matches The Brand

 For Software Testing Club stuff I use MailChimp.  And the Chimp is so lovely, almost makes my heart melt.  I wish I had one of my own! But seriously, in a non-serious kind of way it’s like I have been building up this relationship with a non existing chimp.  Everytime I login into MailChimp (sometimes [...]

5 Reasons Why Google+ is Better Than Twitter

 For the record: I still love Twitter, but in 2012 I’m giving G+ more of my time. Follow me @rosiesherry or add me to your Circle on Google+. 1. The search baby! The search on Twitter winds me up to the moon and back.  It’s so frustratingly hard to find previous tweets.  This is not [...]

Instagram didn’t anticipate so many followers?

 I’ve taken up using Instagram alot. Jamie Oliver kept cropping up as a recommended user. I like what he does, so I followed him. Then I noticed that each of his photos gets a stupid amount of ‘likes’ each time.  I wondered how many followers he had, but it appears Instagram is a bit confused. [...]

The Future of Education

 Interesting article on Forbes asking whether Education will be the next industry to be killed by the internet. Some valid points are highlighted on how things are changing with the likes of MIT and London School of Economics offering (or planning on offering) online content, education, discussions, certificates, etc and all free or at a [...]

Oh, what a horrible bug!

 I got an email marketing message the other day.  It was from a kids ‘educational’ games website that my boys are signed up to.  We’ve been signed up for a few months and I think this is probably the first marketing email we’ve had from them. It started out saying: “Dear xxxxxxx” Where ‘xxxxxxx’ was [...]
