Also can’t tell: arse from elbows, news from garbage and – funnily enough – real world from fantasy.

You file copy on time, get through some features that were surprisingly troublesome, a phone call from an old friend overseas, pictures featured on The Guardian, and get t0 meet the founder of Ushahidi  after a great Hacks and Hackers event in Brighton. Which also inspires a ton of new ideas for features and projects.

I do love my job, despite any appearances to the contrary.
