At Tech World today at London eXcel. Mostly looking at data and AI. Mostly absolutely rammed! But this was very cool 🌫️

@geoffdoesstuff Show me someone who hasn’t and I’ll show you someone who hasn’t learnt something :-)

@darrengrimes Tell me you have parental issues without telling me you have parental issues

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

It has arrived! Hurrah! Thanks - got there in the end

[Geoff Lawrence @geoffdoesstuff]

@DarrenSolArch @Argos_Online @ArgosHelpers Hope it works out

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

@geoffdoesstuff @Argos_Online I had a nice chat with @ArgosHelpers and I’m a lot more confident I’ll have my order, but this is rubbing salt into the wound… 🤣

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

Shocker today from @Argos_Online. Placed order Weds eve, due in store for collection tomorrow morning. Text tonight saying problem, refunded. Item available for delivery Mon. Re-Order placed, apparently run out of stock. Confidence levels for Mon… near zero.

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

@geoffdoesstuff @Argos_Online Yes it is. Real shame, I understand these things can happen but it’s been managed terribly

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

Any chance of some reassurance, @ArgosHelpers 🙏🏻

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

How is this possible @Argos_Online in this day and age? Warehouse full of stock less orders equals stock available. Don’t sell if orders equal to or greater than stock available. Very poor.

A week for learning: az204 - let’s go!

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

@NorfolkBroads68 @FayRipley @MartinSLewis They said not to fix earlier this year. I wish I did. Fixed a couple of months ago at a not terrible rate.

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

@MartinSLewis “Thank you” for the news. I’m with EDF. Is now the time to fix? It looks like it

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

@Reltio @Gartner_inc Great demo - thanks!

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

Off to Gartner Data & Analytics Summit in London today - first work to to London for a while. Looking forward to more insights into my career shift.

“When selecting a product, don’t you just select something in the top right hand corner of the magic quadrant?”

No. That’s why I’m an architect and you’re not. #architectlife

@PearsonVUE my OnVue session hung after I completed my exam and it appears all your systems are down and I had to force close my OnVue session? How do I know if everything is ok?!

[Darren Hoare @DarrenSolArch]

Agreed! 😀

My first experience today being the other side of the interview process. I think I preferred being interviewed!
