Still alive

Yes, I'm still here. No the domain name isn't fixed yet, and for that reason it's highly unlikely that there's anyone reading this anyway, but here goes anyway!

In case you've been missing me, I've just finished the Graduate Academy course. That involved 4 weeks of work experience with Hubbub-Farsight in Cardiff. It's a great little company to be involved with and I found out lots of useful stuff, and hopefully I'll be working with them a bit more in the near future.

Another group that I'll be working with a bit more is the Air Training Corps - or the Air Cadets if you prefer. This group of young people are looking for a bit of media exposure... and I'm not doing much at the moment, so put one and one together and what do you get? an opportunity. Just waiting on the nessasary forms to be processed and I can take a bit of a bigger role. I don't think you'll be seeing much ATC stuff on the site at the moment though, but I'll put a link up. Whilst not doing media stuff, I'm working on a Motorsport project, and also music as well... all fun.

Other than that, I'm back into job hunting mode. If you're a member of the industry reading this, then watch your post box, as it's likely to recieve something from me soon. I'll also be updating the main site when it returns with the latest projects, although there's no new video just yet.

And if you want Music, then why not try my good friend Ulrich - he's got a new website too : www.ulrichwehner.com

Domain name problems...

Seems that sorting out the domain name is going to take much longer than I'd hoped. It'll be sorted soon [I hope!] then things will be back to normal.

And no, I didn't get the letter I had hoped for. No trip to Abu Dahbi for me!

Bye Bye Lampeter.

Well, that's it for Lampeter. It's a lovely little town, although, having said that, there's not really alot here it seems. I haven't had too much time to get out and about mind.

I'm typing this in my halls room on the hill overlooking the campus. It's pretty basic, but never mind that. This is my first experience of living on campus - previously I've lived at home - and I've really enjoyed it.

I've also found out a few things about myself, that'll be useful, and have now got 3 assignments to get done during my 3 weeks at a production house in Sunny Cardiff [you'll have to guess which one]

Things are, in other words, looking up.

But first, time to get home. I wonder if there's a letter from BARC inviting me to somewhere nice and hot?

Temporary Glitch

Right, number one, I'm in Lampter at the moment on the Go Wales Graduate Academy, and it's going well - re learning all my business studies from ages ago!

The problem is that not only has my main domain name apparently now succumbed to the cancellation, but neither does the other url I have for it work!

I won't be able to sort much out from here, so I'm afraid that if you're reading this, I'm sorry but getting at the main site is going to be rather tricky for a bit.

Unless you've got here via the main site, in which case, this could be complete rubbish!

Update : Site is still accessable via this link : http://www.mcmullin.plus.com/Kevin/index.html

Will be negotiating a new domain name very soon.

Reminder

I'm away from... well now, until the 19th of July. I may have internet access but the best way of reaching me will be via mobile phone.

See you soon!

Project Management Wales 2009

The video me and Ulrich shot for the Project Management Wales Conference 2009 is now online on the University of Glamorgan Commercial Services website. I'll be putting a copy of it up online here too as soon as I can. This may be some time!

http://www.ugcs.co.uk/pmw/pmw-highlights-2009.asp

Problem...

If you've got the main site bookmarked as www.kevinmcmullin-tv.co.uk, can I suggest that you change it to mcmullin.plus.com/kevin instead. I have chosen not to renew my domain name with the current supplier and will be trying to sort out the situation soon as possible, but in the meantime it won't be renewed at all.

Secondly, I've sorted out mobile phone wars. They saw my point of view, and now I'm on Pay as you go again. which is great. Because now I can get rid of it at any point I like. Phew!

Thirdly, I will be unavailable between the 3rd of July and the 17th of July. This is due to a) being in Goodwood for Lord March's fantastic festival of speed over the weekend, and then b) being in Lampeter for a 2 week management course.

Unless everything's changed... again.

Warning to reality TV show contestants

... and it's a warning that everyone in broadcasting is aware of by now : Don't forget that your audience could be antyone and everyone. Including government officials:

A Leicestershire 73-year-old who wowed audiences by breakdancing on Britain's Got Talent has had his benefit stopped.

Fred Bowers said the allowance he received for a leg injury has been suspended while the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) investigates.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/leicestershire/8103153.stm

the moral of the story is that if you're doing something that you shouldn't in front of a diverse audience, don't be surprised if someone, somewhere has some kind of objection.

What an interesting weekend!

If you do have to go all the way to London [150 miles away from home], then you may as well make a weekend of it. Turned out to be a weekend of amazing co-incidences.

For a start, I arrive at the location of my job interview [that was the entire point of the trip], and whilst waiting a rather familiar figure comes out from his interview...

Only Boris Johnson himself!

In case you're wondering, the interview went rather well. Don't want to reveal everything here of course.

Saturday turned out to be the trooping of the colour, something that I hadn't seen before and it seemed a good chance to join in the festivities. We got a good spot in the Green Park, enjoyed the music, got a glimpse of a live Broadcast for BBC News, and turned out that we'd put ourselves right on the flight path of the Fly past! Doesn't get much better than that.

Meantime, now I'm back home, I've got the Supply Chain Wales conference to edit... watch this space

Busy times ahead

This post is almost an apology for some extended inaction over the coming weeks... but I've got a lot to do!

Firstly, having filmed the Project Management Wales conference for UGCS earlier in the year, I'm back at the Celtic Manor on Wednesday to film Supply Chain Wales. Hopefully you will be able to see the result on the UGCS website once it's finished.

The day after supply chain Wales it's off to London for a job interview on Friday, can't actually say who it's with though. Then a couple of days out in London as a small holiday, then back home to do the edit on the supply chain Wales conference, couple of weeks off, then off to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed, followed by a course in Lampeter for a couple of weeks...

So I may be going a little quiet, but I will be back. Just like Arnie

Oh yeah, whilst I remember - what was 4-10 motorsport [and is now Paul Gardner Race Tech] had a bit of a torrid time at Anglesey on the weekend with the car being destroyed in a nasty accident. Paul got out ok, but for some reason I'm glad that my camera was not fitted to the car at the time!
