Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

In honour of International Pixel-Stained Techno-Peasant's Day (which serves to remind people that there is an online marketplace for work, and publishing content for online rates, or even free, doesn't damage the market - it just makes it bigger) here are a handful of book reviews I wrote for SFX, way back when.

These days I regularly have my journalism published online - you'll find all my pieces for The Guardian on their website, along with work at The Register and IT Pro.

It's probably interesting to note that online writing pays better than paper these days, at least for technology journalism. This is not a zero sum game - it's creating a market where there wasn't one before.

Anyway, enjoy.

In all the hectic and inevitable chaos of the last few weeks I seem to have missed this here blog's fifth birthday.

So that means in all, I've been blogging for seven years or so in various places (and writing about using and building your own blogs for eight!). Not bad when you consider that what's probably the original blog just celebrated its tenth anniversary.

In other news, I seem to be 18 entries away from my 3000^th. I wonder what it'll be about...
