Links – 26th October 2008

A selected list of links below. The recent paucity of posts, along with this going out on a Sunday, should indicate that my recent schedule hasn’t been too forgiving.

Links – 27th August 2008

Another shorter list. Rather than my getting more clinical in pruning bookmarks, I believe the main reason is that the Internet gets a bit quieter in August (and I’m posting this earlier in the week).

Links – 4th August 2008

Part 2 of my link update. These are edited highlights of my delicious (look mum, no dots!) bookmarks, which can be accessed via the link on the right hand side of this blog. If you ever look through those, you will realise why I don’t automate every bookmark to appear here.

Classic blog posts #1: Russell Davies on how to be interesting

This is intended to be the first in an occasional series.
Unlike the links post that I aim to update every Thursday or Friday, there will be no schedule to this. They will appear whenever I am too busy/uninspired to write original posts. (the former is the case this time – I’ve just got back from a long weekend [...]
