I currently have the ability to charge my phone in most rooms either by docking it in an alarm clock, or in the front of a TV, or just by putting it in the dock connected to my mac. The only problem with the ones I have is, a, they aren’t portable, and b, the sound quality isn’t that great.

As you may know, I’m joint owner of the “company” Fictionshed. Myself and Tony Lunn have a number of projects we are working on together, and a couple of months ago, we decided to create an umbrella company to bring all the projects together. The final piece in the jigsaw was to merge the forums, as we had each one for project with a handful of members and staff in each. This weekend, I’ve finally done it, I’ve merged the forums, and things seem to be picking up nicely. Feel free to pop in and say Hi Hyperlink Here 😀 Continue reading Fictionshed Forum, up and running.
