New Team Member
I started working with computers a long time ago, then realised that “The Engineers in that office over there” knew how to design solutions and maybe I needed to “go back to school” and get a degree (something I had avoided after finishing my A-levels).
A few years later, owner of a Bachelor of Information & Computer Science degree, I drifted into a job as an instructor at the university until after a few more years I realised that that would also be a dead end unless I carried on and studied for a PhD, so I took a job in the software industry.
Several years later that led me to working in the Air Traffic control sector but, after an engagement of roughly 7 years , my contract was suddenly not renewed and I found myself once again at a crossroads.
Almost accidentally I moved to the Isle of Man, supposedly for six months, but I’ve been here ever since! In fact, I’ve lived here for almost twice as many years as in any other country in my entire life. I have lived in four different countries not counting the Island, but I’m a lousy tourist and only seem to go to foreign lands on a one-way ticket!.
Once again, following a chance accidental meeting, I started working on Microsoft Windows software, and that in turn has now led me to Synchro.
I have to say that I love the commute, and the job is certainly challenging –I suspect it will only become more so, and I’m very happy that I skipped over the fine print where it says “Be careful what you wish for”!
So here we are, and before long I hope to become a valuable and trusted member of the Synchro team, and with luck maybe meet up in person one day.
Looking forward to working with the Team.

Vinuela
Vinuela is a municipality in Southern Spain – not too far from Malaga.
Apart from the scenery the area is dominated by a large man made reservoir known as Lake Vinuela. I believe it was made about 50 years ago by damming local rivers.

Shane's Blog - September 2016
Howdy once again from Texas where it’s blazing hot, so hot they are melting iron in the parking lot and the local pancake house is cooking eggs on the hoods of cars! What the heck, one wouldn’t expect anything else in Texas this time of the year other than lack of rain and excessive heat. Myself, I’ll take the heat over the cold anytime as we have chilled air in Texas!
SYNCHRO ERP’s global implementation manager was recently flying from Seattle to Newark and I tracked the flight using the wonders of the Wild West Web. Sometimes we just need to sit back and reflect on all the wonders of what the internet has brought to us. Not that long ago, if one wanted a flight status; the only option was to call the airline. Today, with all of the interconnectivity of the “dots” everything is seemingly in real time.
