4G 4Everyone

For those who wanted to dig into LTE I would recommend some good blogs:

1) http://ltewatch.blogspot.com/

This is for who wants to stay up to date with the roadmap and with what major player are releasing on LTE.

2) http://3g4g.blogspot.com/

I like this one as it often refers to other blogs which cover most specific part of the subject.

 

Finally, this one gets deeper into protocol and specs but sometimes it could be better to read specs directly as it seems to paste part of them quite often: http://www.3g4gtech.com/

Note: For those who can understand swedish there’s the chance for some drive test results too: http://4g-patrullen.se/

 

More useful than “so called” evangelists

I would like to recommend anybody (willing to have a look into mobile development world) the following quick developer guide from Enough Software team (http://www.enough.de/)

Yet another xls/ppt/zip attached? No thanks

The Giants (the way I call “huge” clients with structured organizations) usually have a huge amount of internal sw utilities and tools.

Web pages you can customize, teamrooms for sharing docs, customized planning tool, special tools for making presentations, even blog hosts you can use.

I noticed most of them are often unknown, misused, almost ignored by client’s teams. They probably paid for them some good consulting company who gave their best to leave a sign, so they can often be very innovative.

Learning how to make the most of them can be a real plus, keeps you insight and gives you tips for proposal when moving to a new client project.

What are you waiting for then? Skip out us the usual “excel attached mail” and Go find them!

Update your profile please

I am receving from time to time a mail pushing me for updating my profile in the company database.

These are spam generic mails, nevertheless quite unpolite, certainly triggered by an automatic detection system.

I wonder then why I should keep my profile up to date while nobody reads this (expect for the automatic script that evaluates the last saving date).

This made me think about what a good up to date “profile” should look like. Any congratulation/thank you/well done! mail should be somehow archived and zipped to enter the “profile”.

Every project report should be in, not the file but the pdf imported signed document. Every acknowledgment, every good idea, every single good tip who lead to project success should be in.

This requires an effort from you, but next time the bell(mail) rings you can get back with quite a password zipped stuff. Only a human will recognize it and ask  for the password, then you’ll make sure this will be read!
