I know, I know, the title of this post makes me throw up in my mouth a little too but you have to get those search engines wet somehow… Anyway, I left Twitter. That’s not news to anyone. What may … Continue reading →

Hack the world…

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 … Continue reading →

It’s all about me…

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 … Continue reading →

Taking the red pill…

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 … Continue reading →

A few more thoughts…

Best Desktop Twitter Apps

This is not quite the post I was promising. I said I was going to review a variety of desktop applications for Twitter, draw the comparisons and give some idea of which were the best. At the time I meant it. Now I've done the research and I've had a better idea. For "better" read "easier". Continue reading →

Following my previous post on the subject, lots of people have sent me links to various things Steampunk. I've spent a little time trawling myself, as well, and so here are a few more links for your delight and delectation:

Sifting through the crap, so you don’t have to…

Julian — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:44:20 +0000

Morning! My trawl of the web over coffee this morning has revealed the following... The Oscar and Bafta nominated short "The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello" is now available for free on You Tube. I found it on Boing Boing. Check it out... Continue reading →

TweetDeck

Julian — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 23:11:21 +0000

A very short message to say if you're using Twitter , but not using TweetDeck , you should be. Once in a while, a killer app comes along that re-defines how we interact with each other online. TweetDeck, designed by Iain Dodsworth, is just that. Go get.

A new radio job

Julian — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 18:40:49 +0000

Following a really good meeting with some independent radio producers this morning, I can tentatively announce that I’ve been asked to write a brand-new, updated episode of “Journey Into Space” for BBC Radio 4. Originally broadcast in the 1950s, JIS … Continue reading →
