Blogging is something that can be really hard. Sometimes the topics come thick and fast and we have too much to write about, but often we sit down in front of our site and stare at the last post from more than a month ago while we beat ourselves up about how we need to […]
Thank you. That’s how today ended, with a rousing applause of Aral Balkan’s day long speaking workshop he finished with a simple thank you. The conclusion tied the day nicely together though. Speaking isn’t rocket science, but it is a science. There are things that you can do to prepare and make the entire experience […]
Today’s weather might be grey but I’m in a good mood. Today I’m not taking my usual journey up the Northern Line to Old Street, instead I’m on the train in the opposite direction down to Brighton to attend the Slide & Stage one day workshop with Aral Balken. A few years ago I made […]
Holy F&CK. That is the message that I sent to my pregnant finance just after I picked up the award for Best Side Project of the Year at the .net magazine awards ceremony. A quick snap of the side project and award together on the train up to Leeds. As I write this I’m on […]

I’ve decided to test out New Relic for no other reason then I’m interested in what the server is doing and it’s something that I wanted to know how to do. It has nothing at all to do with the free trip to New York they are giving away this month. Nothing. Honest. One of […]
Eighteen months ago I put together a very crude webpage that used iFrames to preview a few of the popular viewports as a quick and dirty test for a responsive project we were working on.
