Guy Gadney versus the volcano – part 2: Travels with my iPad
In this guest posting, AIMIA president Guy Gadney continues his attempt to get back to Australia.
The global company Power Gen has offices in many countries and it localises its websites into different territory. Each local site has its own domain name, thus powergenuk, powergenfrance, and the unfortunately elided powergenitalia.
Guy Gadney's iPad lets the train take the strain
Gazing out of the train to Florence and thinking of this made me laugh out loud. So much so that the people sitting around me all gave weird looks. I got back to playing Flight Control on the iPad.
Really enjoying this series. Thanks for posting, Tim.
An impressive retelling of a skilled communicator. The highlight “The holyrecharginess”. If it was me, I’d ditch any notions of freelancing and remember what Karen Blixen (AKA Merryl Streep) said in “Out of Africa” – “Let it go, let it go. This water lives in Mombassa anyhow.”
>We also do not know the health impact of this cloud. I cannot believe that the health ministers are publicly saying that when tonnes of invisible particles of volcanic glass and lava descend back to the ground it will not have an impact on our health, as well as livestock and crops. While I am not holding my breath about making my flight back to Sydney on Wednesday, I feel that holding my breath is exactly what we should be doing normally. Should we be wearing masks?
Has anyone else dug out their copy of Nevil Shute’s “On The Beach”?
Sticking around in London would probably be the sensible option but Travels With My iPad will be far more entertaining if he carries on freelancing.
Forget fridge magnets and substitute with a bottle of Prosecco. I had a wonderful week in Fiesole many years ago – gotta love those italians!
The universe is telling you to go with the expansion option I reckon.
Guy – the whole journey was worth it for the discovery of the Italian telehone company: a bit like when Exxon wanted to go worldwide with that name, did exhaustive searches to make sure it wasn’t in use anywhere else and then, so the story goes, got sued for appropriating their name by a small pornographic cinema in N London. If there had been time for a poetic thought (not daunte-d on the spell correct), La Spezia has a monument that says, quite simply:: Lord Byron / Noted English Swimmer and Poet. Now there’s one way of getting home. Trust you have made it by now. London having been sunny whilst you were here has gone wet and rainy and there are many of us taking immense joy in not running the Marathon today. Warm regards as ever. Paul.
