The Griffiths diaries

Diary 1:  The first 10 weeks as a freelancer for all those who might be curious or rash enough to consider it as an occupation. Written autumn of 2000.

 Diary 2: The first 3 months of going broadband. In 2002-2003 the UK went from a 1% household penetration of broadband to over 25%. What's the big deal and why can't those who have switched bear to be without it? After all it costs a lot more than basic internet access and its faster and always on. So what? Written spring of 2003.

 Diary 3: Using a PDA. Or where the 2002 tax rebate got spent. This filofax wielding planner decided to see what all the fuss was about and bought a pocket PC with all the bells and whistles: bluetooth and wireless. Worth a ponder since mass adoption of these technologies will take mobile communications far beyond those annoying SMS messages telling you you've won a holiday for 2 in Tenerife so call a number that costs a £1 a minute to claim your prize. Written summer of 2003.
