Firstly, I realise this post is a little bit late. New Year posts generally tend to come out on New Year’s Day, but as usual, I’m not one to stick to traditions like that… This year is going to be a big one, I can feel it. I have a lot of plans for a [...]

London-Bound!

Well, this week I did something I wasn’t entirely expecting… I attended the .net Magazine awards 2010 at the Ministry of Sound. I didn’t win anything of course. but that’s a moan for another day… Richard Keys offered to take me as his “+1”, and with me being such an easy date, I accepted without [...]

What is Foursquare?

I used to ask this question myself, it seems to be one of those social media phenomenons that’s taken over the other side of the pond long before it’s engulfed the UK, very similar to the way Twitter started if I remember rightly… Anyway, I read up about it for a bit, and I thought [...]
