In a few hours we'll have made it to our holiday close-down. Each year we have a barbeque and a few drinks after work on the last day, and, because we operate from three sites (Bindery, Lab, IT team, not to mention a few outliers), it isn't possible to get everyone together for it. Which is a pity, because it's quite an emotional event - and a bit greasy too, given I'm one of those that helps with the cooking!

Good morning. We’re moving QBY Connects from its previous home on blogger.com to WordPress. You’ll get re-directed automatically (if you're reading this on the site itself you're already there) but if you notice anything “broken” (links, images etc) could you please let us know? We're going through reviewing everything systematically, but it’s a big job and you never know. Cheers, Ian PS This shift will give us the opportunity to enhance the site over time. If you have suggestions, please let us know. To View More >>

I read Ian's post on the Kodak Carousel and immediately wanted to put my hand up .... (a sling back to the days of discipline at a Catholic school). I'm probably stating the obvious but I felt the message was SO important that it deserved emphasising.  Yes, I understand the business side of the message but there was this other thing that became important too.
