Avoiding Petty Bureacracy with eBay

Apropos
ipod

I'm now the proud owner of an iTrip to get round the problem of our car not having a cassette player (the normal method of getting iPod music to a car stereo being a converter that pretends to be a cassette).

The fun bit is that they're technically illegal in the UK as they are supposed to have spectrum space allocated to them and be licensed to use it (at a cost of £339 a year). So major retailers won't sell them. Fortunately, there are enough people on eBay in the US who are very happy to sell and send one to the UK.

So, sweet music in the car again!

This is my site - here to tell friends, colleagues, clients and suppliers a bit about me and what I do.

The short version is that I work for IBM Global Business Services, project managing CRM initiatives for large clients.

I've worked for clients in the CPG and Government sectors, but I focus on the financial services sector.

In my Copious Spare Time™, I take photos, look after my youngsters, Morgan, Ruaridh and Orla and help Lucy run her Cloth Nappy Business.

For the longer version, well you'll have to email me, but while you're here, take a look at my Blog, read some of my articles, or take a look at my photos.
