The Webbys – A Trip Back In Time
Nik’s written a piece on why he likes the Webbys over here. I like the Webbys too. For me they’re the awards that get closest to recognising the important things online (in the English speaking parts of the interwebs anyway). It tends to…
Arrested for Broadband Theft
Blimey! From today’s Argus Lite (the Brighton equivalent of Metro)…
Work Naked
Whilst I’m all for working naked (or at the very least in underpants and socks). This ad struck me as rather odd. I’m cool with people working nude at home but I really don’t think we should be encouraging it out in public (using mobile…
The Slowternet
I’ve been using a ‘high-speed’ Internet connection in a Romanian hotel. Thing is, it’s not really high-speed at all. I hadn’t realised just how much I take broadband (at decent speed) for granted. I’ve been trying to think of a good way to…

Virgin Media Really Sucks
Above you can see the promise made by Virgin Media on their website. Below you can read about my experience and how it differs from the above. I know Virgin Media is new, and I know it’s bound to have teething problems. But there’s only so…
Virgin Media – Customer Control?
Well, Virgin Media launched today with a big old shout: a full wrapper of the Metro and putting Richard Branson in a box in Covent Garden (as only he would do). I like the way they’ve simplified some things, and all their talk of customers…
Growing pains for social bookmarking?
Broadband Stars – Covering the social media revolution: Growing pains ahead for social bookmarking? Interesting comment on the growth of web 2.0 apps and how the democratisation of them may ultimately lead to problems. Also refers to the…
