Prepare to be Festive!

Posted by: Emily on 10 Dec 2008 @ 12:46 pm Category: Inside Ireckon

We will all get sick of it very soon but as Christmas is still a few weeks away I’d like to bask in some child-like excitement for a moment. When I think about Christmas I remember all the typical Christmassy experiences; spending hours working on my ‘Christmas wish list’, going to find a tree, decorating mum’s lounge room to look like some tinselled wonderland, leaving a letter and...

A Philosophical Rendition

Posted by: Dominique on 21 Oct 2008 @ 5:25 pm Category: Inside Ireckon

If I could provide an analogy to wrap up my time at Ireckon in a holistic perspective and describe the impact my accumulated experiences have had on my life thus far I would use this:

My time at Ireckon is like the first chapter to a J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy novel. The tip of the ice berg to a very long and epic adventure that provides excitement, introduces some fine characters and provides...


Breaking Wine Glasses - How To

Posted by: Emily on 7 Aug 2008 @ 9:15 am Category: Inside Ireckon

As I have recently proven – it’s quite simple to break a wine glass. Glass goes on uneven surface, or out of view, glass is knocked and falls to the floor. Easy. What’s not so easy is cleaning up the spills – especially as I have a soft spot for red wine.. but I’m not here to talk about cleaning products.

So ultimately there are several factors at play here; gravity is the obvious one,...


Training - Back to Basics

Posted by: Craig on 21 Jul 2008 @ 11:49 am Category: Inside Ireckon

I have been involved in training in one aspect or another for the majority of my career. You gain a lot of knowledge that way - before you can train others you have to fully understand and have a good grasp of the subject matter yourself.

However having worked at Ireckon for only the past 2 months has given me a unique view of having "the shoe on the other foot" so to speak. This industry...


Projects in the Oven

Posted by: Dominique on 10 Jul 2008 @ 9:30 pm Category: Inside Ireckon

After having the pleasure of working on various projects of different sizes and complexity, I have progressively come to find that project development has incredible similarities to cooking.

You’re probably thinking - what a peculiar notion those things are nothing alike! Well you’re probably right, but I’ve had some time to somewhat dissect the two and I managed to find some common ground...


Almost Perfect

Posted by: Andrew on 7 Jul 2008 @ 9:35 am Category: Inside Ireckon

We recently signed up for a second internet connection for our Ireckon office in Brisbane.
For this connection we decided on ADSL2 from Internode for many reasons, mostly because of their reliability but also for the ADSL2-AnnexM service they'd be able to provide us.
Our office is very close to the Woolloongabba exchange, so I expected great performance from the connection. What wasn't...


What's the Point?

Posted by: Thorsten on 30 Jun 2008 @ 10:05 pm Category: Inside Ireckon

As you may or may not know, I had a car accident about 2 months ago. Luckily nobody got hurt, and my car wasn’t a total write off. It was however quite inconvenient. The car was un-drivable, as the steering column was quite bent and the front wheels were pointing away from each other by about 10 degrees. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I couldn’t drive it, and knew I had to start...


Systemizing is good!

Posted by: Narelle on 16 Apr 2008 @ 11:38 pm Category: Inside Ireckon

Having good systems in place is a must for businesses of any size to ensure they can grow and operate as effectively and efficiently as possible. It's especially useful if you are a small business used to doing everything yourself, but are looking to expand and add more staff.

Soon after I started with ireckon and we were talking about systemizing the business, I was shown a great example...


Our new site

Posted by: Darryl on 27 Mar 2008 @ 11:32 am Category: Inside Ireckon

Well it was a Good Friday this year. My great team helped launch the new ireckon.com website.

So if you are reading this it is because of a huge effort leading up to Easter by the team here. Like a plumber with leaky taps our old portal site has been in need of a makeover for many reasons. Well we got it done and we are very happy with the results.

More importantly though we have already...
