Yepp all is well, I'm now a Father of 3 (blimey), and I know for you being a father of two you know where I'm coming from. Work wise I finished up with Detica last year working on the Channel 4 project which was a real experience. Trying to apply UCD to an Agile development team (AHHH!!!), no really it was difficult but good. I'm now at British Sky Broadcasting designing a social networking site for public /wannabe journalists for Sky News. It's fun although I do miss the guys at Detica. Hope the recommendation helps, if it does you can buy me a pint, or repeat the favor one day. Auvoir Jim

Hi Jim, Well, I figured you could recommend my work at orange by saying you were a supplier or worked in different groups I forget the exact wording they use ... Not hugely fussed about the Nokia thing, i'm prob not meeting them in the end You might say how I was able to help a team composed of french product owners and a UK agency around a host of confusing interface issues to focus on user needs in order to end up with a great product But I'd be thrilled if you left a one-liner to the effect I'm not too shabby ;-) Thanks for this and I hope all is well with you (have Detica made you an honest man yet?) All the best, Dug

Hi Dug, Hope you and your family are well. Just saw your linkedin in request; about to write something but it's about colleagues, service providers or business partners, seeing I worked for you which slant do you want me to take? Is it to impress the guys at Nokia? do you know Thomas Foster? he works along side handset design + usability!! Regards Jim
