10K Geekathon, in pictures

Just to prove I actually did it, in true geek style, I twittered my progress (perhaps to the annoyance of my followers, but since when did that ever stop anyone twittering anything? 🙂 ) So far I’ve raise £675 which is absolutely AMAZING! And £75 away from my target, so please sponsor me if you […]

Reprezenting the Flash crew at the head conference

Hehehe sorry about the z in reprezent. I couldn’t help it. You can take the kid out of the streetz but you can’t take the streetz out of the kid. Or something. But in my case we’re talking about the “streetz” of Lower Morden, so it doesn’t really count. Ahem. Anyway, I had a great […]

Give an infinite amount of coders an infinite number of laptops…

… and you should get the Flash equivalent of Hamlet. Well that’s the theory at least. However we only had seven coders and seven laptops, so we ended up with seven different types of crap. 🙂 At tonight’s FlashBrighton session we had a Flash Pass-the-Parcel, where we all got 5 minutes on each computer before […]

Meet Carlos Ulloa and me at the Magic Circle

I was always interested in magic when I was a kid. And last year I started rediscovering my card tricks; imagine my disappointment when it turned out I’m actually quite crap at it!? 🙂 But that doesn’t stem my childish excitement at the fact that I’m going to be at the Magic Circle’s headquarters on […]

John, Andy and I thought we’d chuck a little something together for Keith now that he’s 44, (or 14 x Pi if you’re talking his language). Happy Birthday!

My stuff any use to you? Pay it forward for cancer research.

Have you ever found any use for any of my stuff? That nifty particle effect on your game? That 3D Papervision website? Or perhaps you’ve just found my wry sense of humour somewhat amusing? Now’s your chance to thank me! But I don’t want anything from you. No, I’m asking you to pay it forward! […]

Adobe MAX speaker expenses – still no joy

I just realised that I kinda left this thread hanging – the truth is I’m bored with this fight! (And the discrepancies with european prices too). I tried but failed to figure out whether their “free gift” for speakers would be something I may actually want (thus making up for the flights), but apparently that […]

The FOTB08 carnival leaves town

The conference was pretty damn amazing, and it was incredible to catch up with my great friends Mario, Ralph, Keith, Rob, Jeremy, Carlos, Chris and the many, MANY […]
