The new cushions in the office have been very popular 😀 @HamillHimself

@Aldrin11Scott Hi Matthew, I thought of you last week, as I sat in a conference, listening to one of my colleagues talking about the benefits of a new system. I remembered that you’d started the work, and I hope that you will be very proud of the progress made. Keep going. You’ve got this. Tim

@mistyfell @cyclemeter Happy Easter - only managed a 45 minute walk with Lottie and Daisy this morning!

[Tim Mann @mantim]

@mistyfell Well done! Looks a bit cold up there.

Looking forward to the Royal Welsh Show this week. Great Yorkshire Show was really enjoyable last week! Stand was very popular.

Hope that snow over the weekend doesn't cause too much trouble on the journey into the office this morning. Great IT Xmas party last week!

[Tim Mann @mantim]

Really good presentations for the Dragon's Den last week. Reminder that we have some great people in the department.

[Tim Mann @mantim]

Very successful Planning Day yesterday. I think our story about Brilliant Basics for IT is a compelling story and really helping our cause.

[Tim Mann @mantim]

Looking forward to the Everest Fund raising Challenge today. Not too much cycling recently though...

[Tim Mann @mantim]

Last minute preparation for important planning meeting this week. We have two submissions from IT for 2011. First time through for me.

Great news from the BCS Awards dinner last night. Well done to all involved - more on this on Monday. Heard this from a potential partner!

[Tim Mann @mantim]

Back in wet and windy UK. Getting ready for Board Planning day on the 18th. Looking forward to O/S upgrade this weekend on GI platform.

[Tim Mann @mantim]

Stuck at the airport now due to high winds at Heathrow. Advert going out tomorrow and over the weekend for a new recruit into IT.

Just about every session has mentioned Social Media. Overall strategy for many is Watch:Learn:Engage. This looks pretty sensible to me.

Looking around this Gartner conference (3,500+ delegates) it looks like the iPad has replaced the laptop.

[Tim Mann @mantim]

Just wondering - can we get the whole department on Twitter and use it to replace Core Brief?
