I’ve abandoned my blog; left in unloved and uncared for in a corner with no food and water

Will I be reported to the RSPCB, the new body for ensuring happy blogging worldwide?

In fairness to my blog, I have had a brief affair with another being; that thing called work. I think it best to confess all to my blog, seek pennitance and rebuild that loving feeling that we once had, but the magic sparkle in our relationship has gone…..

So what’s been keeping me busy? Well firstly back in September we had the happy arrival of a lovely girl - Eleanor Kate. For the first couple of months of her life she had taken precenence over blogging! Mind you, I’d choose blogging over nappies any day.

Also we completed the aquisition of the business and assets of Networks New media. Now I’ve bought and sold a few businesses in my time, but as an advisor I’d always walked away when the deal is done, leaving the management team to integrate things. Now that’s the really tough job, and we’ve been focusing hard on getting it right. This is a really exciting opportunity for bit10 and we’re really excited by adding value to the Networks customer base.

Also I’ve been continuing my journey into the excellence model, and I’m currently undertaking an assessor training programme. This is not for the faint hearted as it involves scoring a 100 page case study as “homework”. We’re really excited about achieving the standard “Investor In Excellence” standard - it will be hard work but totally rewarding. We’re working closely with Midlands Excellence and thanks to Judy Hart and Phil Sykes for all your help so far.

Anyway, back to the point. With life (hopefully) more under control I will return to love, feed, nourish and care for my blog. Am I forgiven?
