A diary based on my latest attempts to get a job; this time in Munich. I'm an engineering graduate (and chartered engineer) with more than 10 years' experience in IT. Over five of these years have been spent in team leading and project management roles both in the UK and abroad.

OneNuts

Nowadays, not only do I have a job but one which allows me to "try out" new pieces of equipment more or less as I wish.

So I am trying out a tablet PC, running Windows 8.

It's a Lenovo Helix and I am getting quite impressed with it.

And I am beginning to tolerate Windows 8 (tolerate meaning, in the case, not wanting to totally obliterate Microsoft).

And it has OneNote for Windows 8 on it (and I have been a fan of OneNote for years).

Which seems rather nice until you find out:

  1. it syncs automatically to Microsoft's SkyDrive which makes it impossible to use in a business context
  2. you can't print
  3. you can't do some other things you could do with earlier versions ... BUT YOU CAN'T PRINT.

If Dancing Monkey Boy Steve Ballmer wants to contribute to this job hunting blog he just has to contact me (and send a scan of his pink slip).
