Google Calendar has gone live, it seems to be running very slow as I write this, this is probably due to influx of users signing up to it.
The layout is familiar to users of Google products such as Gmail. It has some nice features such as friends invite in which you can either let them invite more people or just let them view the guest list.
Matt Cutts has written a good review with more insight into the Calendar and its features.

Reported by the BBC News. Talk Talk by Carphone Warehouse are to be giving away broadband to its customers. Its not reported if its to exsiting customers or new ones, but i would think its just the new ones as loyal custom doesnt get much return these days. As the Talk Talk website is down at the moment and is advertising a new website launch this week (Tuesday 11th April) i would have guessed that would be the same time as the launch of the free ADSL.

OK, so it has been months since i last posted, ok it was last year.
In that time i have lots of things stopping me, but the main one is work.
I have been working for Google (freelance) since early last year, but at the beginning of this year i have put Google 2nd best and only work for them at weekends in favour of a company called Big Agency.
One of the main clients and sister company is Great Hotels Organisation which also provide Great Hotels of the World, of which i do all of the front-end code.
The projects i am working on are very demanding but worthy as they will be pushing the limits of what is already out online. Hopefully they will be turning some heads as soon as they are ready for public beta. My favourite has to be the Hotel booking engine G-rez, which will be a fully interactive one screen solution to booking all parts of the Hotels, this will be run on the front end with some snazzy AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML).
