This week: beard week
Just for a laugh this week, we’ve decided to have a ‘beard week’, so no shaving from last Friday to see who can come up with the best beard – we’ll have marks for colour, length, style, funniest looking and density.
We’ll let you know the outcome!
Next week is vinyl week, followed by old photo week. [...]
That takes the biscuit
Some of the really clever stuff we do here is quite difficult to explain, and technologically, even more difficult. We are _not_ web designers.
Sometimes whilst down the pub, I get asked what I do. Depending who I’m talking to and in what context, it’s sometimes easier – and a bit of fun – to use [...]
The BBC launches new iPlayer in beta
The next version of the BBC iPlayer has been launched in beta, with changes to the user experience, more personalisation, and integration with social networks.

Saturday Celebration
Saturday January 30th…
…is DOUGS BIRTHDAY! I think many beers are in order, for the 24th anniversary of Dougs birth should be an important day in everyone’s calendar. The more the merrier!
Mad Friday
Mad Friday (18th) is coming! The plan is to head into town for beer and curry after work and the more people who attend the better! – in fact I do believe (and fervently hope) that everyone is coming. Merry Christmas.
People don’t believe corporate web-sites
I’m just starting a project with a well known UK medical company around the popular topic of “user generated content”. Aside from intensively disliking the word “user”, I wonder sometimes how big corporate Britain is going to survive the next stage of e-growth. We have have blog, forums, social networking and now so much activity [...]
