So yesterday I posted my slides from barcamplondon5 to slideshare and as cool as they indeed are I’m pretty sure that the serious points are easily missed without some supporting information - which is why I am writing this post right now.
The main point I was trying to get across is that the web contains [...]

My weekend was spent in Richmond at eBay’s awesome offices at barcamplondon5. It was nice to attend a barcamp again after organising the last one in London and always fun to present (my talk notes and slides will be up soon).
After the general (and totally) unrequired hoo-hah from people regarding the ‘keynote’ I hoped that [...]

Just a quick one but after the two days I have had at work (I thought they would be nice and easy but was very wrong) I just wanted to say something about the use of third party services and open source software projects and that is BEWARE!!

OK guys, I’m pissed off, really pissed off in fact - had one of those days at work yesterday where absolutely nothing goes right; everyone who thinks they know anything about the web starts telling me how they think it could be made better, I prepare for a 6 hour meeting about a database system [...]

Well yes - that was certainly a very, very good way to spend a weekend - there is so much that I could be talking about that I have split the weekend into three bumper packed fun packed posts - I WILL waffle so bear with it, it will be worth it!
This first half is [...]
