Changes are afoot
Since leaving Digerati Studio in June, I’ve been picking up odd bits of freelance work but not yet really enough to provide a decent income for my family. I mentioned on Twitter on Friday that I’d had an interview and … Continue reading

Horizons
It feels quite weird to be writing this, but I’m leaving IOP Publishing after nearly eight years: my longest-running job by a country mile. I’m going to Digerati Studio, a Web agency in Bath; no more train-induced commuter stress for … Continue reading

At the company Christmas meeting/lunch/disco in 2006, I had the pleasure of sitting at the same table as one of our directors. During the meal he checked his email on his Blackberry (nicknamed “Crackberry” due to the addictive nature of … Continue reading

The wheels on the bike go round and round
I like cycling, if only because it’s not jogging, an enterprise I find tedious in the extreme. I’d much rather be playing football (that’s soccer for any Americans reading this), but you can’t thusly commute to work. We had a … Continue reading
