[Paul Silver]

The weekly new media freelancers & small business 'Farm' meet up is
happening at the Hampton Arms 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.

Group spotting help: I'll have the APress book "PHP 5 Objects, Patterns,
and Practice" on the table (cover:
http://www.apress.com/book/view/9781590599099 ) Matt, the author, might
be along if you want to hassle his jetlag addled brain with PHP OO
questions.

These are some of the things talked about at the meeting last week:
Mootools Javascript library, Laptop problems, iPod Touch unlocking, PHP
frameworks, PHP IDEs, Networking events, Silverlight/Moonlight, BarCamp
Brighton 2, London work, Nokia chargers, Project managers are so
necessary, IKEA, Contracting rates, NHS Connecting for Health costs -
why so much?, E-commerce dodginess, phpBB security (ha!), Contracting
rates reprise

Directions from Brighton Station: come out of the station and walk
straight down the hill, turn right at the Clocktower. Cross at the
traffic lights, then turn right up the hill at Costa Coffee (Dyke Road).
Turn left at the traffic lights in to Upper North Street, the pub is a
little way along on the left next to a church.
