Andrew Prior IT and Values Consulting

What are my values? October 2 2007 How do I work out what my values are? We are not encouraged to think too much about our values.

Values are actions, not ideas... September 26 2007 It's not what we say that counts, but what we do.

Windows Update September 15 2007. Windows Update is very cool. It's Microsoft's way of getting all the latest security updates to our computers. And it works pretty well....

Where's the switch? September 14 2007 My first USB key was a Microsoft freebie in the days when they were still expensive. It has a physical write protect switch...

Love, Hate, and Wireless July 21 2007 I came home one day to be informed that the wireless networking in our house was "crap." "What wireless networking," I asked?

Why Windmills?

Behold! a giant am I!
Aloft here in my tower,
With my granite jaws I devour
The maize, and the wheat, and the rye,
And grind them into flour.

I look down over the farms;
In the fields of grain I see
The harvest that is to be,
And I fling to the air my arms,
For I know it is all for me.

I hear the sound of flails
Far off, from the threshing-floors
In barns, with their open doors,
And the wind, the wind in my sails,
Louder and louder roars.

I stand here in my place,
With my foot on the rock below,
And whichever way it may blow
I meet it face to face,
As a brave man meets his foe.

And while we wrestle and strive
My master, the miller, stands
And feeds me with his hands;
For he knows who makes him thrive,
Who makes him lord of lands.

On Sundays I take my rest;
Church-going bells begin
Their low, melodious din;
I cross my arms on my breast,
And all is peace within.

Longfellow
