Anyone who has not been on twitter is fortunate not to have their time sucked into more social networking, on the new service called Twitter www.twitter.com.

When ever you have a minute you can add a twitter comment to your profile using IM, the web or a mobile device. Or perhaps all 3 thruout the day depending on where you are at.
Its a ruby on rails based web site, and lets you remind friends, and even yourself what you are doing and what you did last night (thank fully theres a remove twitter function).

Following on from some good resources from Dave Child, I thought it would help to have a handy reference guide of shortcuts currently used for Gmail.

I know there are older versions on the web, however there are a few new shortcuts included here.

When I first started freelancing in the UK, I found it hard to figure out which recruitment agencies I should be approaching.

It can be a lot of time wasted if you spend your time approaching the wrong agencies rather than working for a client and getting paid. My saying and maybe a lot of other people – “it’s a full time job, getting a job!”.

Since I moved to Brighton 4 years ago, I have been wanting to learn and develop specific hobbies.

1. hand drumming
2. dinghy sailing, and
3. open canoeing

hand drumming, well, the first one should have been easy considering I have a djembe already, and I have never played it in a group. considering how many workshops there are in Brighton we are lucky to have the skills and talent in Brighton, however the days/dates always seemed to clash.. finally tonight I have been to my first class > west african hand drumming by Batafon Arts.. fantastic, and i can still use my hands to type after nearly two and a half hours.. in the beautiful unitarian church.

Living in Brighton, my work takes me to London around 3-4 months a year. As a freelancer im always looking for freedom in travel and getting from A to B in the most efficient way without compromising the environment.
So when southern railways introduced their ban on bicycles across their network last year I, probably as well as others started looking for alternatives to this. The only way to take bikes on the train is to have folding versions. Expensive, it took a bit of time to get used to paying up to £500 for a bike.
