The story of The Hound of the Glasgow Ville
08 January 2009 12:13 | Glasgow Community and Security Services, dog fouling | Permalink
I thought my readers would be amused to see this dog, which is strategically located in the offices of Glasgow Community and Security Services.He has pride of place by the lift and I literally bumped into hin, while liaising with staff on the 6th floor. When I enquired about him, from staff, I got a somewhat mixed reaction. One officer told me that it was a school project to tackle ASB - Dog Fouling in particular, and was clearly impressed with the efforts of the children who had created this human-sized monster out of papier mache.
The ladies, I was actually going to see seemed rather less impressed with the work of art, and suggested I might like to take it away!

Christmas Cheer

Christmas coming... then it will be time for new year's resolutions. Mine, is to ensure I do at least one blog entry each month - whats yours? You can tell me by clicking the comments box, then you will be committed.
The Caseworks Newsletter is going out soon, with a rather impressive picture of Christmas in Glasgow on the front page. It seemed a good idea to include it here, to cheer up anyone feeling a bit depressed by the Credit Crunch. Whatever the weather, and whatever the financial situation, Glasgow is determined to have a good Christmas, and I have no hesitation in recommending readers to come here for a Christmas break Check out their website to see the rest - http://www.winterfestglasgow.com/
mmm, has this got anything to do with HUBSolutions or Caseworks or are we going a bit off message here? Well slightly. I have been spending most of my time in Glasgow for the last six weeks, so when I say the city, shopping, night life, cultural events and surrounding countryside are great, I am talking from experience. More importantly, I have recruited our first Scottish employee to help me out with the volume of work.
There is quite a lot of job satisfaction up here right now, with Glasgow Community and Security Services expressing delight with the new Mediation Database and other goodies which my colleague, David, and I have delivered. Then South Lanarkshire has gone live with the Mobile solution, and yesterday declared it to be a success worthy of publicity. I am hoping to get a photo of one of those wardens working in wintry conditions, keying some vital piece of information into his smart phone, for transmission to Caseworks Notify and Respond. All credit to my colleague, Krish, for this achievement, having taken the prototype Mobile solution to pieces and rebuilt it as a completely robust and sophisticated piece of software.
