Night at the sulky

30/04/2010

Sat down with Andrew today and sough understandings on how MaaX worked and how NSM were using it. Have to say that this is an amazing piece of software which can do remarkable things. The thing that impresses me most is the ability to really drill into detailed analysis about your query or get a more holistic approach of the same.

But, and this is true with any piece of technology, it is only as good as the person using it. Tristan is the super user when it comes to MaaX within NSM and he has been using the software for more than a year now and is really good at it. Will need to spend more time with him on Monday to see what quick wins we can get for NZ Magazines.

I also asked Chris to work through the project KPIs with me to ensure that I was going down the right path. He has kindly agreed to do that.

Sarah Sandley should be back next week so it would be great to spend some time with my mentor.

I am off to the sulky tonight and not as a spectator only but will also take part in one of the races. For those (like me) who didn’t know, a sulky is “a lightweight cart having two wheels and a seat for the driver only but usually without a body, generally pulled by horses or dogs, and is used for harness races”, (source: wikipedia).

Super cool way to end the week and catch up with some people from the Herald.

Have a great weekend… Catch you on Monday!




This is me on friday night at the Alexandra Park race course. We came fourth (Don't tell anyone that there were only four horses in that race)
