  • NOT The Bell Way!

    OK I’ll admit to being more than a little angry with the way that Bell through up our ExpressVu (now it’s simply Bell TV ) Dish on the chimney. But comments left both on this blog and in the Flickr feed have been rather supportive and tend to agree with me on the fact they…

    I’ve been interviewing candidates for some job openings both for one of my teams and for a colleague’s over the last few months. Now when I interview, I tend to want to see many candidates. I want to be sure that the person I am hiring is not only a good match on paper, but…
