Russell Square, Bloomsbury, London
It's Monday morning and I am about to skype John Beer back in the UK. It is a deja vu moment.
John and I used to meet at the cafe in Russell Square for breakfast on Monday mornings when I lived in London. It enabled us to cover off the upcoming week's activities and co-ordinate our diaries. Nothing has much changed except now we communicate on Skype and of course it is still Sunday evening back in Blighty.
Skype does make a difference. Recently, I have been involved in a project that has been using the resources of HBI Software in Bangalore as well as an application architect in France. Skype has enabled us to hold three-way conference calls and bridge the global divide.
This morning's call with John will do the same. Except that unlike 3 years ago when we met in Russell Square, toasted bacon sandwiches and cappuccino will definitely not be on the menu.
