Back to Basics

Having spent the best part of 20 years developing business software, it occurs to me that the business software industry, and the business users/consumers of the software, have (perhaps unwittingly) led us down the garden path. The idea of a computerised system that captures and models the very essence of a business, automating the decision-making process, [...]

Why Do We Wait For The Ducks To Line Up?

It’s true, humans in general (or should I say, inhabitants of 21st century westernised societies) have a tendency to over-plan, over-analyse and put off doing something until everything is in place. I often wonder if this is a throwback to the days of the Roman Empire, with it’s meticulously drilled legions, straight roads and urban [...]

A Bit About Avallach

For those not aware, Avallach is the name I chose for my business (Avallach Technology) and, in line with the way I view the world, it most definitely sets out to be a little different. The number 1 focus of the business is to cater for “the little guy”, now and into the future. To [...]

A Bit About Me

This is taken from the revised About page, and reflects the change in direction being taken with this blog/site… Most people would probably describe me as a geek, and that’s a badge I am happy to wear, if not a little misleading. Yes, my background is in software development, and yes I DO have a [...]

A lot of the overall concepts are captured on a blog post in a business networking site I belong to: http://www.thatsbusiness.net/profiles/blogs/seeking-partners Check it out!

Online Business Presence

Express Web is a new service now available via Avallach Technology. While this sort of solution has always been part of the plans, the actual details have been defined recently, and are designed to fix some issues I believe exist in this market. Firstly, while accepting that we need to be the “experts” providing web [...]

New Global Pandemic

I went to a dinner party last night, where I, and other guests, enjoyed copious amounts of alcohol. I awoke this morning not feeling well, with what could be described as flu-like symptoms; headache, nausea, chills, sore eyes, etc. From the results of some initial testing, I have unfortunately tested positive for what experts are [...]

Web Apps

Some time ago, on a previous incarnation of my blog, I mentioned the subject of web apps. At the time there was a lot of debate (and still is) about which technology was best for web apps. AJAX was really beginning to take off, Java was sticking firmly to its Enterprise world, Adobe were releasing [...]

Now For Something Completely Different

As you read through this blog, you will detect a heavy bias towards online business. This reflects my own personal interest in the subject, and efforts to assist others in achieving success. But online business is only part of the “Tools, Information and Opportunity” story that underpins Avallach Technology. My other burning desire relates to [...]
