Ratatouille screening tomorrow!

Tomorrow evening I’ll be in London for an exclusive press screening of Pixars new animated movie Ratatouille, and I just wondered if anyone else had been invited to either tomorrows one or another one?

Thorpe Park here we come, but first how!

A couple of weeks ago myself and my friends from University decided that we would organise a trip to Thorpe Park for all of us as it’s rarely we all get the chance to go out together all at the same time and have some fun, originally it was just 5 of us and then it went up to a

Microsoft UK Regional & Local Press Releases on Windows Live Hotmail

Last month I was contacted by Microsoft’s Press Office here in the UK asking me if I was interested in taking part in the Windows Live Hotmail celebrations, by speaking to the local media (newspapers/radio stations) to highlight the crucial role I had taken in developing Windows Live Hotmail. This of course sounded like a great opportunity, so I agreed
