I have an apology to make. My Xoom arrived on Thursday, at which point I tweeted I would post a review of it after 24 hours. Well, I’ve been a little busy getting to grips with it and making it fit in to my daily workflow that… ah, who am I kidding. I’ve had days of e-books and Angry Birds. This thing rocks!

I posted the following whilst on the train in to Manchester today:
Possibly a little flippant, but touched on a nerve that effects a lot of freelancer – poor payers. Every freelancer has good payers and poor payers, and the poor payers are a continual fly in an otherwise quite pleasant ointment. My little remark must have sounded a note with my freelancing brethren, since as soon as I posted it, my phone started buzzing with people (manually) re-tweeting.
And with Twitter’s native re-tweet function, it’s just hit 95 from 91 whilst I’ve typed this post. That’s not an epic amount of traffic (not even close), but it’s enough to make you think.
Update
@technicalfault just spotted I’ve got a “Top Tweet”. Awesome.

Kian Ryan is a .NET and Android coder, runs Orange Tentacle and tends to get involved with community stuff.
When not doing all that, he gets time dress up in leather and get people to hit him with metal sticks, goes climbing up bits of rock and plays guitar (badly).
