Andy's keen eye..
I thought it would be a good idea to show a more human / normal side to the team in IBM ANZ.
One of my colleagues, Andy Rutherford who is based over in our Perth office has a rather unique take on IBM Rational.
This is cracking photo...who doesn't love toast, cereal, bacon, eggs, coffee and fruit?!
Chatting with Andy he told me this one was fairly easy to capture with some subtle lighting..not like the next one..just a....
This next shot was cleverly captured by a lot of trial, error and patience (something Andy has tonnes of: Error, trials and err..some patience too)..
He suspended a plastic bag full of water from a ladder right above a container, making a small hole in the bag to get a consistent drip.
Using a Rational poster, a bit of luck and three hours he managed to get this little nugget.
If you like these..there are plenty more weird and wonderful shots to see.

Rational Jazz on the iPad..
For my first blog....
I was pondering whether I could justify the purchase of an iPad. Like most people these days, they already have a laptop and smart phone that can sync email and calendar appointments and work on the move.
Recent developments in IBMs Rational's Jazz technology (that supports the Software Delivery Lifecycle) meant the value of using an iPad in day to day life is increasing. With the 3.0.1 release of the software, I can now access the Requirements, Planning, Development and Testing capabilities through the Safari browser on my iPad, tidy!
Although technically not a supported browser yet, you can see from the pic that I can now review Test Plans, browse Requirements and look at Development tasks.
