FOAK: HCI schemes - good idea?

<fx: sticks pins into wax model of Steve Jobs>

 

I've just had my 7kg "laptop" taken away, so I'm now using a sub 1GHz
duron-based desktop PC.

My heart fucking bleeds.

I can't recall there being any mandatory £150 payments? It's simply what
you see is what you get, no add ons: A PC package including support for
about £20 or so a month.

 

HCI?

well, it's still a work in progress at the moment, it's really too
early to say whether the new model is "working". Certainly for the rest
of my team, they are much freer now to get on with their daily jobs.
However, this is partly because I have responsibility for a lot of
administration myself.

Mostly it's good though - I'm a good deal busier than I'd like, but
that's mainly due to having not having so-far recruited two key
positions in my team.

It's also proved very useful for me that, although my line-manager is
nominally the business relationship manager for our business-stream in
Paris, for day-to-day operational purposes I report direct to the head
of IT in London, effectively meaning I don't have to take any shit from
anyone in this office...
