So, I’m on my workliday. I’ve got a 11 month old baby, he’s difficult to get to sleep in a different cot and environment every few days, so we have been opting for the walking and getting him to sleep in the buggy. It has meant walking up and down a few hotel hallways. The [...]
About Rosie Sherry
I made it through the TestBash
Those around me know how much I wanted the TestBash to go smoothly. And it happened, and I’m so chuffed to bits. Awesome is a good word to use. A good size gathering, about 65 of us. Not too big, not too small. I met people! Like Phil Kirkham who has been helping out with [...]
My First Workliday Abroad
My work and home life very much overlaps. I do what I need to do to get things done. Sometimes this means working late. Sometimes it means having a lie in. Sometimes stress is included too – “like argghh, I’m supposed to be looking after the kids, but all this stuff is happening around me!” [...]
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 [...]
My online plans for 2012
Nope, this is not a new years resolution. Just my ideas at this stage which are likely to adapt and evolve. Blog more on Rosie Land I’ve been a bit slack here for the past couple of years. Part of it has been personal reasons. Other parts has been the ‘confusion in my head’ of [...]
Is blogging dead…?
A great post (Robert Scoble would call it a blog post) about whether blogging is dead or not. Both Facebook and Google+, this year, added the ability to do long-form writing inside a social network. I’d argue that’s causing a new age of blogging: one that is free of commercial concerns. How many of you [...]
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 [...]
