So I sadly missed the moment we got the 5000 argument posted on aMap.  However, I looked back and found out it was a real corker.  Really well constructed, and really great content.  So thank you Lorenz (from CCJH) – I really enjoyed your argument!

We’re super pleased to announce that aMap  has hit its 4000th argument!  If you haven’t played around with aMap before, aMap’s a fun little widget that lets people make and share arguments with other people.  It’s an argument starter.  But a starter of *good arguments*.
By *good* I mean well-formed arguments, as aMap is structured around [...]

So since our online launch back in Feb, we’ve been busy beavering away developing up the aMap product ready for full launch in to shops.  One of the key things we’ve been wrestling with is our “point of sale” device – or as we like to call them “Argument pods” – which we plan to [...]

Until today.
After finally finding out of how to make book barcodes, and buying the software to create them, I then discovered that there are two types of barcode, and wasn’t quite sure which one to [...]

1) I’ve spent the last 2 weeks in the US indulging in sun, steak and Obama-mania
2) We were hit with a “where the f*ck do you get a barcode from” problem

Anyways, we’re slowing getting back [...]

So here we go.¬† This about the 8th blog I’ve set up and contribute to – which kinda begs the question of when do I have time to write anything or more importantly when do I do any proper work . . .
The answer is – THIS IS MY WORK!
From now on this blog will [...]
