10 Things I learnt from Glasto '09

Back from glasto.. after getting tired/wet/sunburnt all at once I've made a list of ten... exciting huh...

I can stop myself mid-sneeze with only an odd squeeky noise emanating out instead
I don't enjoy beard rubbing as a salutation
I should definitely stick to seeing bands I want to see, rather than bands I think I 'should' see
If I leave anything around the campsite I should expect it to be taken from me - but probably not too far from me
Extended time away from computers is definitely a good thing
If you eat too much junk food from the same vendor he will begin to learn your 'usual'
If a guy standing next to you dancing manically asks for a sip of your drink - it may not be to help a paracetamol go down
Feeling bad for someone can make you sit through something you really probably shouldn't
Leaving a gap in the middle of your tents, but not putting a gazebo in it will ultimately lead to someone else putting their tents in it
Wearing wellies in the sun, although stylish, is actually painful

Pick of the weekend? dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip. So glad I finally got to see them.

The Barn site is live!(3rd April 2012)

For the last few weeks I've been pulling together the concept of 'The Barn'. Ostensibly it's a company blog, but to me it's a bit nicer than that.

Barcamp Bournemouth 4(7th March 2012)

Having made the trip twice before I was looking forward to Barcamp Bournemouth. It's probably my favourite small event. Partly because it's so close, partly because it's a great venue but mainly because there's always something interesting and new (at least new to me) going on.

WP7 vs iPhone(16th February 2012)

Ok so if you follow me on twitter you may know that towards the end of last year I took part in 'Alphalabs'. Organised by onedotzero this was a competition aimed at encouraging developers and artists to work together on the Lumia 800 platform.

Apparently doodling can be good for you. Although when I do it, it's not so good for Ed Merritt.

Why you should try to be a middle class developer(16th August 2011)

You may not know this but this blog has been xml based since its inception (in fact there's a longstanding, not yet achieved, task to 'replace' it with a 'better' persistant storage mechanism -- clearly I must agree then, that the perfect is the enemy of the good). But anyway... don't worry. I'm not about to do anotherblogaboutxml.
