The TweetUp at the Burlington was a great way to avoid the spectacular thunderstorm last night. Organised by Mark Ford, with a bit of input from myself, it was a great start to what will hopefully become regular informal new media and small business meetups in Worthing.
Mark’s is a more complete account of the evening, [...]

If you’ve been on Twitter over the past couple of days, it would have been hard to miss the iPhone madness that’s engulfing the world. 50% of the Tweeting population seems to be in a queue for a 3G iPhone, heading for a queue or Tweeting from their newly-acquired gadget.
You’ve got to admire Apple for [...]

A couple of weekends ago, Sam and I stayed at the Park Plaza Riverbank, a nice modern 4-star hotel in London, by the Thames, just a bit upstream from the Houses of Parliament.
We booked from LastMinute.com and got a double room for a mere £93 for the night. I completed the field for special requirements [...]

Sam will be walking a 13.1mile (half a marathon) route through Worthing going from Worthing Leisure Centre to Brooklands Park and back again onJune 21st 2008 at midnight!

Anyhow, I couldn’t survive another [...]

I just realised that Waltz for Dubbya on oud-player Rabih Abou-Khalil’s album Morton’s Foot is a play on Bill Evans’ Waltz for Debby.
Duh! (And ouch!)

I’m really enjoying using the Evernote beta. I have 10 invitations here if you want one - just leave your details in a comment.

I recently reinstalled my main PC, and wanted to rationalize the number of media players I have installed.
Windows Media Player sounds best, to my ears, so I use that as a default, but it doesn’t allow me to play FLAC, Ogg, Monkey’s Audio and some other formats. I have to have iTunes installed, as much [...]

When I go into Brighton, there’s free wifi in almost every pub and café - not too much of an exaggeration. But I’m struggling here in the People’s Republic.
My requirements, in addition to free wifi are simple (at least, I think so):

Wifi that works and is reasonably fast
Good espresso
Fresh orange juice that’s not in one [...]
