So I'm coming up to my last day as the inaugural IT Survivor for VMWare and it's definitely been a very interesting experience. Despite buggy internet at times, beautiful and sometimes distracting scenery and curious locals, we were able to film all the sequences required for the challenges set for me during the week. I even managed to get my own work sorted out at the same time which was definitely the more important of the 2 things.
In any case I definitely learned a lot whilst there and would do it again if given this kind of opportunity. Maybe next time they can do a 'versus' kind of challenge where hardened IT veterans do battle against each other where the winner gets fed and the loser gets fed.... to the sharks.
Anyway, remote working is something that in itself is a challenge because a lot of traditional business is done face to face. I've learned this week that more and more, the walls of being able to do so are being broken down and the level of engagement that you can have with customers in non face-to-face environments is ever increasing.
Check out the rough mobile phone videos that the guys from VMWare took:

The actual film done by the professional crew is going to be cut and put together to coincide with VMWare's vForum across Asia Pac - http://info.vmware.com/content/virtualizationforum_WW
Can't wait to see how it turns out!
