No problems with power in the hotel room this morning. Quick breakfast of muesli and orange juice (no, not mixed together) then off to the ‘Shared Technologies’ site, also in Stockholm.
Sat through two ‘sprint’ sessions which was a fancy name for progress reports on two of the ABLOY Cliq projects the development teams were working on. Firmware updates on the Cliq hardware and changes to the software etc. Some of the changes were demo’d, such as adding the ability to copy the access rules from one key to another (more interesting than it sounds). Had a couple of short meetings, one an introduction to HiO and the other a run down of the software tools they are using (which are hosted at Volvo IT). Interesting morning.
Toasted salami and cheese (mozzarella and cheddar I think) wrap from 7/11 for lunch.
Spent the first afternoon session with Helene Strom discussing some of the Group Tools – Helpbox, IRIS, Group Directory, OneWeb etc. Really enjoyed that session, hope to meet with Helene again. Final session was with Anders from Insight, who’s really the SNOW software licensing contact. Went through the tool, knew most of it already having worked with it before. Discussion ended up back on the unsolvable issue of how to distribute costs to the various business issues. Glad I’m not too involved in this one!
Jens took Guido and I for another walk around Stockholm city. We went to a snow gear store (Jens is looking for a new jacket) and I found the prices to be much the same as Australia. Checked out some other stores, kind of like Myer and David Jones and a big sports store. No buying, just looking. Caught the train to the airport around 8pm – took 20 mins and got up to 205km/h. Dinner at MAX, the biggest Swedish hamburger chain. Decent burgers, better than Sibylla, that’s for sure. Flight home left at 9.30pm and I walked in the door shortly before 11.30pm.
Happy to see that Heidi (my landlord) had cleaned my room and done my washing while I was away. Not bad service! Pretty tired now and due in the office at 8am tomorrow so definitely time for bed.
