The Taite Guide to Project Management
Project Management Life as a project manager is comparable to a mountain climber's. The big difference being that when you get to the peak you find there is no safe way down. Whenever I get really down, my wife reminds me that it takes one women nine months to have a baby and no matter how you try it is impossible to perform the same feat in one month by impregnating nine women. It was a beautiful ...

The Internet Academy: An On-Line Syllabus for the Geeks of Tomorrow
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiakitnatahu is a real place. It is the name of an existing hill in New Zealand, or so the Internet claims.This comes from the same people who tell me that goldfish have a memory span of three seconds (how anyone measured that I don't know), and giraffes can't sing. The Internet is the basis for all our knowledge now. We have no choice but to believe...
The Taite Guide to Airports
We arrived at the airport three hours before departure time. My wife wasn't very happy about that fact but our previous holiday was all but ruined by the fact that the plane took off without us. This was the only time I can remember when my flight actually left when they said it would. We were late due to a traffic jam resulting from the collision between a truck full of boxes of adult Pampers and a semi-trailer...

Google Searching Taite - Come in Please!
Google is a great toy. You never know what you will find next there. I was wondering why my post 100 Things to do when You're Bored received so many hits from Goggle when I thought of checking the search keywords people used to get to my site (compliments of Google Analytics of course). Here are some the weirder ones. I swear they are all real. --- ...

If on a Winter’s night / Christmas in the Heart – Sting, Dylan and Rudolf the red nosed reindeer

Let me start off by saving that I’m a great fan of Sting and have been since Police, and of course Dylan goes without saving. Sting and Dylan have one thing in common, they keep reinventing themselves. Neither are perfect but both have brought us enough gems over the decades to forgive their faults. Now both have fallen into the well of kitch and can easily be mistaken for Bing Crosby. Is the world really ready for Zimmerman’s version of Have Yourself a Very Merry Christmas? or a caroling Gordon Sumner (yeh that is Sting’s real name). Sting’s If on a Winter’s Night and Dylan’s Christmas in the Heart are in my opinion wasted effforts. Rock and pop history has had its fill of Christmas songs – several being put together to help poverty, Bob Geldof’s Do they know it’s Christmas is one of the more successful ones. Still, every new album by these two megastars is a worldwide event, why waste it on a Christmas album. Leave that to Rod Stewart, he seems to own the kitch remake niche single handed (sorry Barry Manilow you’re only a close second). To be fair at least Sting’s effort seems to have some redeeming harmonies, Dylan’s fiasco is really one big joke, I would have much preferred yet another release on unpublished jams from the basement tapes. I am deeply disappointed.
