What’s the most boring TV programme you have ever watched? It was probably on a Saturday night. Seems to be traditional to have boring TV on a Saturday night. I’d say it was pretty boring most other nights too but don’t let me put ideas in your head; thoughts.
You do have to ask yourself if the your most boring TV programme was that boring why did you watch it? You could have switched off and done something useful. I’ve just scanned in a hundred or so business cards using an App called CamCard. I bought the paid version for £1.90. It’s useful.
I’m gradually working my way through a thousand or so business cards I had tossed into a desk drawer over the years. Lots of them will now be out of date, especially those of sales people. I discard the obviously incorrect ones but scan everything else in. You never know when they will come in handy. Google contacts will probably provide me with updated data on people anyway. If you suddenly start getting emails from me you will now know why. Don’t worry there will be a fully functional unsubscribe button.
I’m checking out CRM and accounting packages this coming week. I want them all to hook up with Google Contacts. They also need APIs for interfacing with other platforms – MailChimp for example and WordPress, obvs. Not that I’m expecting to be doing many mass mailers though I can envisage a weekly digest of blog posts plus a bit of unique mail only content – for the busy executive who hasn’t got the few seconds to spare in the week to scan through a short blog post.
Ve shall see.
PS there is a TV in the breakout area down the corridor from my office. During the day people sit there watching daytime TV. Some people really need a life.

Look at Kashflow for accounts.
Do you use kashflow Tim?
Haven’t watched TV for years. If someone says a programme was good I have a look on catch up on the computer but its rare to agree and actually watch it through. Entertainment these days comes from youtube, real videos made by people, funny, informative, kind. TED talks. Instructional videos showing you how to do stuff. Spare time goes to the ether now, pull down not pushed at you. Films can be watched on any device in any place, at any time. Its the future innit?

If you have 16 minutes to spare this is better than TV shows! So nice to see a bit of fun in sport, you don’t get that on tv.
