[BNM] Farm - freelancers networking on Wednesday evening

[Paul Silver]

The weekly new media freelancers & small business 'Farm' meet up is
happening at the Battle of Trafalgar tomorrow (Wednesday) from 8pm
onwards. Anyone who's a freelancer or in a small business is welcome to
turn up for a chat or to tout themselves about. If you fancy going
freelance and want some more info about it, come along and pick our
brains. We'll be in the beer garden if the weather is good.

Note: the Battle serves food until 9pm.

A big hello to the 15 people who turned up last week, this is some of
the things talked about: I remember when all this was fields (websites
pre-tables), 2D vs 3D design, The Werks, AIS Sim card router, Will it
Blend?, Looking for Joomla people, Work / life balance, Taking weekends
off, Ruby on Rails plugins (rock!), FB fund, Building to scale, When not
to normalise, Flickr setup, Fixing old cars, Weird ended screwdrivers,
He bought a Mac so he could run XP, Laptops for meetings - not too
crappy, not to expensive, Going through customs with a lot of kit, Solar
chargers, I need an iPhone for user testing (honest guv), Capitalising
on memes (icanhaz.com), Stupid children's names / George Carlin, Yo Mama
joks, Is 'biscuit' funnier than 'cake', Real Media Player sucks, Beer

Directions: from Brighton  Station look right as you come out of the
station and find Grand Central pub,  go up the hill between the pub
and cafe (Guilford Road), the Battle is a  little way up on the right
past the chippy.

Cheers

Paul
