  1. Haddock Events

    We’ll be using a Upcoming group (private membership, publicly viewable) to collate interesting events. Feel free to let me know if we miss something.

  2. Schneier on Security: The Future of Ephemeral Conversation

  3. Outlet PHP ORM - Welcome

  4. Remember to breathe: Catching up a bit

  5. Friday’s Newspaper Front Pages | UK News | Sky News

    Gallery of (some) UK newspapers, with permalink to the day. (For current day go to UK News, then see link under ‘UK News in Pictures’ on right.

  6. PressDisplay.com - Newspapers From Around the World

    Today, more things have gone wrong for me than have gone wrong in the combined lives of you and your last eight direct ancestors.

    This week I have worked harder than you. My work has been to a higher standard than yours. My week has been longer than your week.

    I've just bought something that you'd want if you'd heard of it.
