It’s official: 3′s data network run by hamsters; string [Fixed]
I am now regularly based in Richmond-Upon-Thames. And what a flipping nightmare it is from a mobile connectivity perspective. Vodafone struggles to get anything more than Edge.

MIR is no longer hosted on the Rackspace Cloud
For a good few years we’ve been hosting Mobile Industry Review (“MIR”) on the Rackspace Cloud. I’ve loved it. The concept is this: You pay $100 a month minimum. That buys you 10,000 ‘compute cycles’ and a ton of diskspace and bandwidth. For a reasonable sized site like MIR with around 250,000 visitors a month, [...]

Is giving a prize to celebrate follower numbers really silly?
I’ve got a social media question for you this evening. Have a read of this tweet from MotoMobile: We’re nearing the 20,000 follower mark! To thank you for your support, we’re giving a Moto device to our 20,000th follower! Now the chaps behind the Moto twitter service are really smart. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying what [...]
