I had a lovely long weekend with my family and we were busy every day. I have to make the most of it as I only see them three or four times a year. Good Friday, 18th April On the Friday, we all...

So I've been greedy this year at work and asked for tickets for Download Festival, Sonisphere AND British Summertime Festival. Well the line ups for all three are pretty epic and I couldn't choos...

Today I started reading a book I'd bought ages ago called "Start Your Business Week by Week." It goes through a list of things you should be doing each week in the run up to going live. It has 26...
