[...] Jennie Lees started to make the connection between the exploration of abandoned places in the physical and virtual world (a lot of my comments there re-emerge in this article). Urban exploration typically involves accessing disused buildings, underground spaces, or tall structures. Activities range from historical interest groups, through games like Russia’s Dozor, to trespass-based exploration. Below is Ali_Explores “On ur counterweightzz”. [...]

Comment on How to recruit programmers for your Exciting Business Idea by Richard

This is not the author obsessively checking back links or anything like that, because that would be pretty sad ;-)

Thanks for the plug – and I agree with your suggestions of meetups as a good place to go and look for programmers.

It always makes me chuckle when I go to business/technical events (90% non-technical) like minibar and see people looking for programmers. There would be a much, much greater hit rate at places like Flug which are 99% technical.

It requires greater tolerance of technical presentations (but, hey, you might learn something… dependency injection is pretty interesting) and careful observance of etiquette (these are not networking events as such) but as long as you are doing something interesting people will talk to you about it.

Interesting article, I certainly smiled at the bit about specs saying”I just need”. My current fave is “isn’t it just a button?”.

Comment on Freegle: Don’t throw it away, give it away by jennie

James and Mark,

Thanks for making the distinction clear, I’d edit but I think you say it better than I could. I guess I was speaking more from a ’specific user’s experience — my local Freecycle group became Freegle — and wanted to make it clear that Freegle sprang from Freecycle, rather than being a totally new thing.

Hi Jennie
Lovely piece…thought you might like to know about a show on ITV tonight at 8pm
“Throw Away Future: Tonight”
FREE Giving, Locally, Easily
ITV1 Friday 27th November 2009 20:00pm

Jonathan Maitland continues his ‘living for free’ series, and attempts to renovate a deserving family’s home with discarded furniture. Following his campaign on food waste Jonny Maitland turns his attentions to furniture.

Every year we throw away 10 million bits of furniture and it’s mostly destined for landfill. That’s the equivalent of almost 30,000 pieces of furniture every day.

The show was made with the help of Freegle volunteers from the south east coast in England and highlights the fantastic contribution all re-use groups make to reducing landfill. I think the biggest advantage with Freegle groups is that you know that they are definitely run by real local people from your community who are a veritable font of local resources and information and will be familiar with local nuances. With almost 1 million registered users Freegle are not short of members, but no matter what name group you can access, the best thing…. is simply reducing our landfill fodder by re-homing tonnes of useful stuff.
