Byte Night update #2

September 23, 2009

Hello folks, I’m thrilled to be able to say that (at the time of writing) I’ve nearly reached 2/3rds of my initial fund-raising target of £500. I’ve also got some cheques coming in, so the fund-raising continues! :-D I’m really happy about this, but am keen to collect as much money as possible. [The widget [...]

Please help Fat Frog design the SCL identify & branding

September 11, 2009

This post describes the work around the new SCL identify, and how you can get involved. Introduction I’ve asked Steve and the Gang at Fat Frog to draw up the identity for Souter Consulting. I had thought of putting the work out to Crowdspring, but that could have been a bit too hard and difficult [...]

Byte Night update #1

September 10, 2009

Umm, I’ve been seriously slack in getting myself sorted for this – mega :$ However, I’ve resolved to do a ‘multi / social media’ sleep out, basically because I need to rev myself up, and also rev up my fundraising activities, because I’m so behind schedule. So, the idea is that you join me in [...]

Please help me raise money for Action for Children #bytenight

August 10, 2009

I’ve decided to take part in Byte Night, a rather good Tech Industry fund-raiser, probably because I’ve seen photos of Jenny Agutter in Computing each year, and think it might be a good laugh. Speak it softly, but I’m sort of looking forward to donning a whole load of technical gear, as my interest in [...]

Justin in Virtual Worlds

June 19, 2009

I was thinking that my activities relating to Virtual Worlds are beginning to bear fruit, in that I can go to business development meetings with potential clients and be able to talk VWs with credibility. I’m blowing my own trumpet here [er, I think that’s called Marketing – Ed.], but hopefully you will find the [...]
