Who Is Nick Hodge?

Who Is Nick Hodge?
An interesting question, who am I? This is the question that we all must answer whilst we are on this small planet. It is right up there with "What is the meaning of life?" Maybe they are connected.

My Clone

He's even got my name! Although I am concerned about his Monarchic-tendencies. At least he is a Microsoft MVP in my favourite Microsoft application of the last 3 years: Excel. No seriously, I would not have survived in my last Adobe job without pivot tables, databases, named ranges.
Thanks for the link, Bruce.

A big thanks to Andrew Smith

Andrew Smith of Studio Solutions is a regular commenter here on nickhodge.com
Even when I was between jobs, he visited my site and kept an eye on me. He was "the guy" that ensured I was OK, and made me feel good. People like this are rare.
In a thankyou, I've decided to make Andrew famous:

Too Rainy for the Beach: off to educationau.edu.au

Spent yesterday at the Education.au conference "So What's New", I asked myself - so exactly what is new? I must admit to slight symptoms of intellectual stockholm syndrome. Agreeing with all points of view and resulting in a mush of thoughts, and no opinion.
Is Web2.0 new? Relatively. Is the Web new? Is TCP/IP new? Are [...]

First Day of Self-employment

About 21 years ago, before sitting my "final" exams I knew I had a full-time job. Thanks to Tim Kleemann now owner of Next Byte, the IT industry had sucked me in. January 6th, 1986. I was working for the man.
20 years on...and for the first time in my employable life, I am technically [...]

Adobe. 8 years. Yes, this post is going to be a little different.
On my -1'st day at Adobe, I jump on a plane and head to the US for Application Engineer training. Whilst some industries call this a Systems Engineer style job, at Adobe you are demonstrating and integrating applications. Along with a host [...]

Nick Hodge in Meego

Nick Hodge as rendered by Meego, a service I don't quite get - but it is all the rage with the Tech.Ed AU crowd... and for some strange reason, it doesn't like Firefox on my Mac. Booted up Parallels, ran WindowsXP and used the command-shift-4 to get MacOS X TO capture this off the WindowsXP [...]
