Notes From FOWA London 2009
Had a great time at FOWA London last week. Thanks to Ryan, Jo and the Carsonified team for hosting another superb event.
Rather than listing everything that was talked about over the 2 day event I’ve put together some notes on things that stood out.

10 Web App Tips From 8 Inspirational Speakers
This is a long overdue roundup of FOWA London 2008. I was looking through my notes and decided that rather than giving a general roundup (as you’ve probably already read or seen all the talks online) I would share with you my 10 favorite points from the 2 days.
Why it’s good to work on your own side projects
Whether you’re freelance, employed or a business owner, we each have our own daily routine, which usually involves doing work to please someone else, whether that someone else be a client, end user, reader etc. But every once and a while I think it’s important to work on your own projects.
As I work on my major Masters project (due December), and while doing the odd freelance job, I take inspiration from the likes of Carsonified and Contrast who have been known for their ‘drop everything else for a week’ approach to work on other projects, and I work on my own side projects.
Their approach to taking a week to focus on 1 new project (from start to finish) is great but working 1 or 2 hours a day on a side project is also beneficial.

I’ve compiled a list of Mac Apps I have in my OSX dock that I use on a daily basis and should be useful to other Mac users and/or web designers.
