Talks and Travel
August 03, 2007 | CommentsAfter a quietish summer, I'm on the move in the next month or so.
- In a couple of weeks time, on 14th August, I'm giving a talk at the £5 apps event about the gritty realities of setting up a software company;
- I'll be stepping in for Joh and hosting the Coding Dojo on 22nd August, at Future Platforms' offices in Brighton.
- Then I'm skipping across the pond with a trusty band of pals to Black Rock City. Can you tell how excited I am about that? ;)
- We get back from the US just in time for dConstruct 2007, which is looking absolutely fantastic;
- Swedish Beers follows on the 12th September. FP will be shouting loud about something then too :)
- On 18th September, I'll be panelling at Mobile Web 2.0 on the subject of "defragmentation";
- 25 - 29 September, I'm in Amsterdam for Come Out And Play and PICNIC07
- 14th October, it's the Future of Mobile conference, where I have the pleasure of speaking about mobile user experiences with Marek Pawlowski :)
So a busy couple of months... and closer to home, we have the lovely Loop Festival arriving in Brighton on the 18th and 19th August. And rumours of an interesting name in the Aikido world who might be paying us a visit in September - I'll post more here when I can.

Sorrell: "anyone who says that the small screen on a mobile phone is a problem is suffering from old man or old woman syndrome"

This is going to be fantastic :)

Very nice. Wonder how much of the rest of the iphone interface will be cloned in software...

"My name is Mohammed Sokor, writing to you from Dagahaley refugee camp in Dadaab. Dear Sir, there is an alarming issue here. People are given too few kilograms of food. You must help.” Wow - see http://www.tomhume.org/2005/10/are_these_proto.html

Agree with some of the sentiment, though not sure how lots of Web 2.0 screenshots demonstrate it, and physically gag when attempting to say "Brightoncisco".

I ought to know better, but find this kinda amusing...
Technical Writer?
August 02, 2007 | CommentsIf anyone's looking for a Technical Writer, drop me a comment or an email. I have a friend who's a freelance technical and science writer, hoping to escape the commute. Much of her work is based in London and she's looking for local business to expand her portfolio: articles, reports, jargon-free summaries of technical documents and web-copy, clear corporate or employee communications, etc. She has specific experience in science, medecine, game and web development, and would be available on a project- or part-time basis. Special rates for Brighton businesses that can spare her a train journey ;)

Oooh, looks very interesting
On the subject of the US...
August 01, 2007 | Comments...I'm going to be in San Francisco for a couple of days either side of our trip to the desert later this month. If you're in the vicinity and fancy catching up, leave a comment or drop me an email. I've only been to the US once before, so (the customs experience aside) I'm getting very excited :)
