How to get in touch with me at SXSW

I’m all hooked up with a US mobile now (you’ll find out exactly how in an upcoming All About Symbian Video Diary), but the good side of this is that I am now far easier to reach while i am in the US, and around the conference halls and clubs of South by Southwest from [...]

My Starring Role in Twitpanto

Later on today I’ll be starring in my very first Pantomime, and you are all invited! It’s going to be on Twitter, and following on from the success of last year, the 2009 edition of the Twitpanto is going to be great fun (oh no it isn’t! etc).
This year’s production is “Robin Hood – Men [...]
