Who Is Nick Hodge?

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

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 LinkedIn Pro­file, and more formal resume: www.linkedin.com Pro­file: Nick Hodge
From a dur­a­tion on this planet perspective, […]

My Clone

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

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

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

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

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

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

Monday, July 31st, 2006

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 self-employed. […]

Hodge History goes Windows Live

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

Hodge Fam­ily His­tory in Win­dows Live Local Maps. Added some notes, for com­ments from those who might know more about the His­tory of Melville Hodge.
A pro­ject over the last 2 months has been to research the his­tory of one Melville Hodge. Born in 1803 in St Andrews, Fife, Scot­land (yes, this is the home of […]

Friday, July 28th, 2006

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

Friday, July 21st, 2006

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 […]
