Engaging Young People in Technology - Talk at Liverpool LUG

I am going to be speaking on Wednesday at the upcoming meeting of Liverpool LUG

"This month’s talk will be given by Tim Dobson from DFEY-NW. He will be talking about what "Digital Freedom in Education and Youth (DFEY)" is all about and how free software communities can engage with young people. He'll then open the floor to questions. This talk will be filmed and posted online under a Creative Commons Licence.

"Tim is an active member of the Manchester Free Software group and is well known at many other technical events. Having just finished his A levels, in his spare time, he enjoys dinghy sailing."

The meeting will be held on

Code Computerlove's 10th Birthday

Jun 28

I recently went to Code Computerlove - one of Manchester's large web agencies, Tenth Birthday Party

I spent a lot of time hanging out with Dave Bird as I hardly knew anyone else there but it turned out to be a cracking time with of mingling, drinking and retro Mancunian dancing...

Code's people took some photos of the event but I also took some photos and bad video of the event:

I'd be this Boyfriend...

Jun 25

I don't usually have any time for this sort of thing. I rarely read the irritating chain-note-thingys that seem to be common on facebook these days.

However, a friend of a friend recently posted this to facebook.

I thought it was neat, sorry if you think it's lame. :-/

I'd be this Boyfriend...

When she stares at your mouth
Kiss her

When she pushes you or hits you like a dummy cause she thinks she's
stronger than you
Grab her and don't let go



Kids & Code - Does it matter that they use computers but never see the programming? - Matt Edgar - Barcamp Leeds

Jun 22


Matt Edgar hosts a discussion on whether it matters that kids use computers but never see programming.

Unfortunately, I missed the beginning of his presentation however I think pretty much all the points are there and the discussion that follows is very insightful...
