The world focuses so much on the success of extroverts that it is easy to forget there are introverts out there quietly plugging away at making things happen. I class myself as an introvert. Though am in my element when publishing and being online, does this make me an online extrovert?

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 [...]
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 [...]
The business of events, for mums…
This whole topic of juggling babies with modern day life has resurfaced itself for me. Obviously it is not a coincidence, it’s all to do with Sherry #3. And with a new baby I think again about how I can get out and involved with events. It’s always a tricky one, that is never [...]
Blimey. We pivoted.
Life changes sometimes. You think you want something. Then you realise you don’t or things aren’t quite working out. The challenge is to identify that life isn’t quite the way you want it and change it. Or pivot. This is what we felt a year ago. We pivoted to make a change in our lives. [...]
This year I’m going to be selfish
Life tests you out in so many different ways. Obviously this time of year is one for reflection I’ve spent the past 2 – 3 years putting myself on the backbench. Trying to do stuff and putting others first. Giving and not taking. It could have been the right thing within the right circumstances, but [...]
Blogging for Kids
We’re going on a long holiday soon. Not quite sure how long it will last at this stage…however it does mean that we are ‘unschooling‘ our two wonderful boys – currently aged 5 & 6. Aaron (our 6 year old) is starting to read and write. Ben still has a way to go, he [...]
Off on a Jolly Wicked Adventure
We made a decision a while back that we fancied doing something different. As things have evolved over the past couple of years we realised that we were no longer location dependent. This means I have relinquished all Werkshop responsibilities – so I am no longer involved in with The Werks or Lewes Werks. My [...]
