barcamplondon5 = win

Monday, September 29th, 2008

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 [...]

@media Europe - round-up

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Another year, another great @media conference!

d.Construct - the food

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

As I had the weekend in Brighton I wanted to make the most of it by indulging on yet another of my passions - good food!!! I had heard that Brighton had a number of good places, some had been suggested to me, others just looked nice and others I had seen on TV. I [...]

d.Construct - the socialising

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

After stretching my legs (believe me I needed to after being scrunched into those wee seats (I’ll stop mentioning them after I get blood flowing through my feet again) I made my way down to the after-party which was being held on the beach front via my lovely hotel.
The place to be was The Terraces [...]

d.Construct - the conference

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

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 [...]

off to d.Construct

Friday, September 8th, 2006

Hooray - what turned out to be a little drink turned out to be a rather large one - this is why I am up at 2.15am trying to write and also trying to pack my bags (which I had hoped that I would have done beforehand but of cause as I fell asleep about [...]

backnetworking and after conference drinking

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

With just about a week to go before the much mentioned d.Construct get under way I want to thank the maker (Glenn Jones) of the d.Construct backnetwork - it really is a thing of beauty. Not only has it allowed for me it see what other people have written about the conference but also [...]

I’m off to the seaside - and a conference!

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

As I have been booked up to attend d.Construct for well over a month now I think its about time that I actually said something about it. In a nutshell I am rather excited. I have always been a fan of coding up things (mainly because I can’t design for toffee) and all the recent [...]

@media - day 2

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

After the exploits of the night before and openning day of the conference I arrived at day 2 certainly in not the state I would have hoped for; lets be honest I was fucking hung-over and the walk to the venue hadn’t helped clear any cobwebs! However with a packed day ahead of me I [...]

@media - day 1

Friday, June 16th, 2006

For me (and quite a few other people it seemed) @media technically started last night at the pre-conference party. As usual I did rather over indulge in the old drink so while I was extremely keen to I couldn’t actually do any kind of review of the event, what happened and who I met - [...]
