Fire management, rehire Tony

Management not only proved themselves pompous, but incompetent. Ditch them and rehire Tony Carroll.

Power to the people - if you can find a spare socket

Whilst Travelling

In preparing to leave the US for a year in South Africa, i forsook my minimalist backpack for sybaritic luxury. I brought along a US 3-socket extension cord and three additional unwired sockets. Fortunately, almost everything is dual voltage: Macintosh, bluetooth mouse, razor, phone, etc. I bought a US-to-SA adaptor and although the maze of cables look messy, it's been very effective. I wired one of the US sockets onto a power cord which powers the razor and electric toothbrush. The dual voltage feature has proved amazingly convenient and cost saving. I've even lent out my Rube Goldberg (Heath Robison) cable so Americans and Canadians can charge their iPads, Kindles, and computers.
