Outlook expeditions the contract

End first.
Honour any terms in a the contract and pay it rather than argue the case for over a year and lose in court.

This is a summary of a large company which Celebes it had a case as to why not to pay up a cancellation policy.

It began with a bulk email from outlook expeditions – I’d just finished my MSc dissertation in January ’09 and was looking for work.
The email came out if the blue, a match made in Wales where we were in the depths of winter or a offer of work in Dubai a lot warmer than Wales.

Key phrase ‘attached contract as discussed’ – ca
E an email after a discussion .

Apple tablet and affordance

The proposed new iTablet/Slate/Pad is going to change the way we interact with applications/ programs.

The iPhone has led the way with affordance and application integration, easing the way we access information on the internet, its enabled fingers to be linked directly to actions with the screen touching the desired action be it opening up applications to typing on the virtual keyboard, I for one was now a fan of predictive texting and small keys on my old phone but since switching to an iPhone its changed the times I can keep up dating sites ( Joomla iPhone Application ) and keeping in touch with clients and friends.

The multi touch screens a revolution, its the past two weeks of introducing members of the local U3A to computers at Coleg Harlech WEA (N) that the disconnection between the hand and eye and ability to use a mouse that the value of touch screens can afford to users connecting actions to applications will enable people who can’t easily connect hand eye mouse and screen together.

So there are mouse exercises out there ( online) but if one can pick up a tablet and touch to open and double tap to zoom and pinch and expand with ease the days of the mouse and key are surely numbered .

I for one cant wait to get my hand on one of the tablets to see if the hype lives up to or even exceeds my expectations very soon.

As I have already said on face book bring it on Apple.

Iphone

Well it’s taken the release of the new iPhone 3gs to prompt my purchase of an iPhone – and what an experience it is like I have said on facebook I don’t know how I have managed for so long without one ?
The cost of ownership had put me off till now but thanks to apple bringing out the 3Gs the 3G’s are Ginger cheap, so cost of ownership is greatly reduced hence the phone in my hand right now, I d like the text input I find I’m able to type a lot quicker than on a conventinal computer keyboard, a limiting factor in not blogging often but no I have the phone it’s so much easier for me to keep the blog up to date on the move.

I’m on the process of applying for a Phd relating to community development online and offline, I’m trying to formulate the area of research and the questions I’m going to be examining, a task I have to fit in around my work at the college and on peoples websites at http://climb8.com
