Week: Business Owner Geeks

By Nick Hodge | August 24, 2007

What a geek week. Face to Face present­a­tions to 120 people, focus­ing on this new world of “online”. Some­where around 6,700+ views of http://thegeekstories.com/ videos.

Ran into some old Apple friends (hi Tom!) and shared the joys of Frank­arr mov­ing into the US.

Tim, an old friend whom I owe much, a key share­holder in Next­Byte sold out to FoneZone. Con­grat­u­la­tions, and enjoy the rest, Tim. I am jeal­ous! Tim, an occa­sional com­menter here will now have time to become a real geek.

Telstra’s Geor­gia Lee says To grow a small busi­ness, it helps to be a Geek. In fact, Geor­gia is look­ing for Geek Stor­ies. Been there, doing that Geor­gia. Call me. We’ll do lunch.

Politi­cians just don’t get Wiki­pe­dia, and the trace­ab­il­ity of edit­ing on the inter­net — where people no know if you are a dog. Of course the PM doesn’t need to ask our pub­lic ser­vants from edit­ing Wikipedia.

Cleaned up some slack paper­work­ing on my behalf; and have some more to get through (I owe some people prizes: wait­ing on them to come in so I can send them out!). Paper­work has never, and will never be, my strong point.

Ques­tions from the week I am going to let settle in my brain, and answer next week. Tomor­row: BarCampSydney2. No videos, no laptop. Just pop­ping in with Liam to soak up the geek world.

 

One day, Liam will cre­ate his own geek empire. And he’ll sell it. And I can then retire. And join Tim.
