How I Became the User a Tech Platform Didn't Expect

Last year, I signed up for a productivity platform because I wanted a better way to organize my work. Like most people, I started with the free plan and explored the basic features without expecting much. Within a few weeks, however, I realized something interesting: the platform had dozens of hidden capabilities that most users never touched.

The more I explored, the more I discovered that software isn't just about the features shown on the homepage. The real value is often buried inside documentation, release notes, settings, keyboard shortcuts, and workflows that very few...

The Future of Exeter's Walk-In Centres

I recently took up an invitation from North, East & West Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (NEW Devon CCG) to attend a “Have Your Say” community engagement event to help them look at the way they/we use out 2 Walk-In Centres (WIC) in Exeter – one attached to the Accident & Emergency Department at RD&E, the other on Sidwell Street in the city centre.

They wanted to know about how to make sure that we have the right level of service, in the right place, at the right time. And probably at the right price (but we’ll come to that later).

The incredible story behind a pair of blue boots

Authored by Marc Astley
Posted: Tue, 07/02/2013 - 8:30am

These are no ordinary pair of boots, and not for the reasons you may think.

The fact that they are blue makes them stand out from most footwear of a similar nature, for sure.

But what is quite extraordinary about this pair of boots is the woman who wears them.

Robyn Steward has a condition called prosapagnosia which means she does not recognise faces, but recognises people by their shoes!

Because of Robyn’s physical disabilities, she needs to wear boots, and her visual impairment makes bright colors easier to see, hence her bright shiny blue boots.

My response to today's Spending Review announcement

Authored by Ben Bradshaw
Posted: Wed, 06/26/2013 - 12:55pm

The focus of today’s Spending Review should have been clear and decisive action to boost growth and living standards this year and next year — not simply setting out cuts for two years’ time. David Cameron and George Osborne are failing to deliver on investing in infrastructure. In Exeter and the Westcountry we need that investment to boost growth and create jobs.

Exeter’s flood defences are in dire need of upgrading to protect homes, business and our rail connections. People desperately need more affordable homes for rent. As Ed Miliband revealed in Parliament today, only a tiny...

A message from the Founder of Mumazing Success, Lucy Flanagan....

Good Morning

I was talking to someone only the other day who saw the price of the day as...

"Children are still being mauled by dogs, assistance dogs are being attacked by out of control aggressive dogs, and innocent members of the public out walking their dogs are being intimidated by youths with the so called 'status dogs'!" says Tricia Wills, ( www.triciawills.co.uk ) a dog trainer and behaviourist, based in Exeter.

A government spokesman is saying that "urgent action" is needed to protect the public from dangerous dogs. But what is this all going to amount to?

Although the government plans to crack down hard on these grey areas (described here by the BBC on 9...

Correcting the blind spots between men and women

You already know from John Gray that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but do you know how to promote interplanetary cooperation at the office?

After decades of striving for gender equality in the workplace, you’d think the tough questions would be answered. You would be wrong.

According to a terrific new book by the two gurus in the field of male/female relationships, Barbara Annis and John Gray, there are eight gender “blind spots” between men and women in business. Work With Me addresses the issues that create tension between the sexes at work, resulting in...

The Candle Problem undertaken by Carl Dunker in 1945, where a candle and tacks were placed in a box with some matches on a table and those taking part were asked “how do you attach the candle to the wall, light it and prevent the drips from falling on the table”. It was reused by...
