By way of an update: I’ve been away from Twitter for one week. In the two weeks prior to quitting, I wrote 30 pages of the screenplay I was working on. In the six days after I quit, I wrote 45 pages. ‘Nuff said. Between now and Christimas, I have to write a major re-draft of [...]

I'm still arseing about with the design of this website so if it looks weird as you're reading this, it will only be temporary. Please don't comment on the design yet as I won't know which version you were looking at. I'll let you know when it's done and you can feel free to mindpuke all over it then. Fuck y'all.

The delightful Mark Boardman, who I met on Twitter some months ago and whose company on there I’ve enjoyed ever since, has written a great piece on social networking (that just so happens to mention me once or twice along with Sarah Pinborough – who she?). Read it now… The Yellow Blog Road

I’m dicking around with the layout of the Brain a little bit today, so apologies if you stumble upon this site and find it looking weird – it’ll settle down again in a few hours. UPDATE: I have not settled on this design, I’ve simply parked the process because I have other shit to do for [...]

Thanks for all your emails and comments. You’ve all been really nice and overwhelmingly supportive of my decision to leave Twitter. When I say “all”, I’m obviously not including @misterdevans, whose comments on the subject have marked him out as the kind of twisted shitbag I’ll be very glad to see the back of. Not [...]

So I’ve been gone from Twitter for an hour or so now and it is weird. Something came on the TV and I opened Tweetie, without thinking, to let people know about it. Tweetie told me my account no longer existed. A strange feeling. I think it will work out though. The half of me that [...]
