I got a graduate position earlier this year in an ad-tech company, coming from 10 years in a completely unrelated industry and without a degree (I'm 33 and in the UK). I worked through some Codecademy courses, developed my own site and

I'm always fascinated by images from NK, bit of a shame in this case that the captions are plastered in the middle of them.

I unplugged my N5 this morning at around 07.00, it's now 16.30 and I'm on 80%. Did some web browsing on the train into work, have been messaging on and off all day. Lowest I've seen on a weekday for me was about 40% by the

Agreed, I have no motivation to create a new account just to see what they've done with it now. I used Delicious for many years, but they just seemed to completely lose direction. All I wanted was a simple bookmarking tool and Pinboa

I set-up TTRSS ( http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki ) on my own server. I didn't like that Feedly requires a browser add-on, as I'm not always going to be able to install that on every browser I might use.
