-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SH1T

Hello all - I thought it was time I gave you an update as I have realised that the numbers of people accessing my blog and commenting on my Tweets has really fallen off over the last two months - I think it must be due to some technical difficulties as I know that many people (thank you Tony R and Ian J) find what I have to say as very interesting.

I am aware that there has been some discussion about my using PGP recently - I have decided to continue using it as I cannot stress how important it is that people do not impersonate me. To be honest I had a bit of a run in at my previous place of work (I have just changed jobs - but more of that in a minute) as someone managed to hack in to my works lap top and make a post using the name "Lou Knee" - which was from the IP address which my works secure system had been allocated. This meant that it appeared that Lou Knee and I were one and the same. I must assume that it was the same person who wrote to head of security at my firm and told them some half-baked story. Anyway, I need to move away from that deceased equine and put down my stick and let people know that that unfounded accusation had nothing to do with my changing my employment. I have found that it is better to change jobs every couple of years at my own volition before there comes a pressing need from a different direction!! I think that Wilkinson's Razor is quite appropriate in these circumstances.

Anyway - I have changed jobs - I am not yet classed as a thought leader in my new chosen IT area (Cloud Cuckoo) but I have written to three CEOs and asked them to let me know if they object to my using their name, my name, and the words "thought leader" in the same sentence. None of them replied - so I must assume that they agree with me. (When I say none of them replied - I did get one response - but I think the letter must have been opened by mistake by someone in the mail room. The letter was quite rude - and just said "We suggest you seek professional help".  Unless of course it *was* the CEO and he thinks I need a little more training"!

Back to my new job: I decided to take a cut in salary - as I realise that material things are not the be all and end all of life - and consequently I relinquished my demand for a company car. I have however been able to find a very tidy Volvo V70 - which was probably top of the range when it came out ten years ago. It is an automatic, has electric windscreen washers, high level brake lights, a jolly good heater, and a very good three band radio. Finally - I need to share with you that fact that I met Andrew last week. I'll not give you the details here - but I will drum up some support for my blog - where you can find everything about the meeting. I think however, he may have forgotten me, as for some reason he thought my name was Jesus. As he left he said - "Jesus, I've just remembered you from the last time we met. Goodnight"
