"Thanks Karen - it's been great fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with your photography, yet from a little bit further away... :-)"

"Hi David, thanks - could you be a bit more specific on the errors you are getting? I've just typed in that postcode and got a Ladywood ward page back. It's on an odd cloud-hosting environment and occasionally comes back with obscure errors. Also - I just upgraded the search to web_solr, so it does now return results for that (and many more) searches: http://bccdiy.com/pages...]... Please bear in mind that we haven't written _any_ content on the site yet - this is the point of the hack day, and turning the site into a wiki. If you (or anyone else) could give me a list of the top things you'd want to do on the site then we can design around those needs. Thank you Stef"

"Hi Edgar - I'm trying to do a very similar thing: write a backup script that automatically uploads anything with a 'star' and not the tag 'backedup' to Amazon S3. Automator would then handle the upload and set 'backedup' on the successful images.I can't believe I'm finding this quite so difficult however. Let's share results - let me know how you get on, good luck and thanks for the script!"

An overview of conversation about the word serendipity and how it has been watered down over the years. Do we need a new word to describe the original meaning that bypasses the new-age connotations that have been attached?

"Yay! Another apologist for irritating phone calls irritated. No - obviously I didn't know that and why on earth should I when the phoneline I get sounds like the audio equivalent of sucking a heavily frozen McDonald's milkshake in one of their restaurants in Mumbai?"

"I think I might have even forgotten to put 'the team' in my 350 words but you are absolutely right. I see a pattern emerging here... :)"

"I love the idea of an agile business plan. I was thinking that my next business plan would actually just be a wiki. But you're right - finding an investor is difficult enough without adopting those kinds of methods. But with the right label and justification for that approach you could make it more palatable to banks, surely?"
