Is it time for “Choose Your Own Device” (CYOD)?

Posted on June 20, 2020 by wally

I’ve posted over on LinkedIn an article asking the question: “Is it time for Choose Your Own Device?”. Spoiler-alert! I really think it is. Let me know what you think!

George Floyd, 1973–2020.

Posted on June 7, 2020June 8, 2020 by wally

Until writing this, I have made no public reflection on the death of George Floyd, the continuing situation in America (and by extension the UK and so forth), or the trending topic of whether black lives matter. Update: It has come to my attention that there is a subtle but crucially distinct difference between stating […]

Posted on June 1, 2020 by wally

Read my article over at LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-can-technology-delivery-teams-learn-from-spacex-demo-2-hall While watching the Demo-2 SpaceX/NASA launch on Saturday, I started to develop a number of lessons that technology delivery teams can learn from this historical event. I’ve started with 10 lessons, which you can find over on LinkedIn.

Ubiquiti networks – Unifi-ing our house…

Posted on May 17, 2020May 18, 2020 by wally

Prologue. So, I finally broke. It was one too many WiFi drop-outs on a day when I just really wanted to be able to watch a TV show without having to fiddle. And I guess that’s where I should start. 10 years ago, our house would be “far from normal”. It’d be modern, edgy, technologically […]

What actually is the Bible? (pt 5 – God’s message)

Posted on April 13, 2020April 14, 2020 by wally

We left off the last section saying we’d look next at how to protect against heresies and controversy. Spoiler alert! I am about to argue that the single most important thing a true Christian can do here is know how to handle scripture correctly. This is another enormous topic – so as in all the […]

What actually is the Bible? (pt 4 – Kidneys.)

Posted on April 12, 2020April 14, 2020 by wally

In the previous part of this series we looked at three major translation theories – and looked at the complexities of translating even a simple word such as “flesh”. A few times I’ve found myself in a discussion around how ‘Pauline’ missionaries (like New Tribes Mission) handle translating words into very rare languages (like those […]

What actually is the Bible? (pt 3 – Bible Translations)

Posted on April 12, 2020April 13, 2020 by wally

At the very start of this series I said we’d answer three questions: What actually is the Bible itself (the “canon of scripture”)? Where does it come from? How is it in English? What is a Bible translation (what we have in English today)? Does our choice of Bible translation matter? Is there one “perfect” Bible translation […]

What actually is the Bible? (pt 2 – Dictated? Greek?)

Posted on April 12, 2020April 14, 2020 by wally

Last time we left off with an unanswered question: given scripture is written or spoken by prophets, apostles, scribes, and “apostolically[sic] approved” people – then in what way is scripture divinely inspired? Does this not leave us with yet another book written by the hands of men? Question:Is the Bible simply dictated by God? Some […]

What actually is the Bible? (pt 1 – An introduction)

Posted on April 12, 2020April 14, 2020 by wally

A couple of years ago I ran a 2-part series for our church’s Wednesday evening bible study titled “What actually is the Bible?”. The goal was to answer three essential questions: What actually is the Bible itself (the “canon of scripture”)? Where does it come from? How is it in English? What is a Bible […]
