Comment on 1 year with a Kona Dew FS by Dave

Well I bought one last September and have been commuting on it since some scumbag nicked my motorbike! Really liking the Dew but it looks like the Lands End will be postponed due to the guy I was riding with being ill. It will give me longer to train for it I suppose! And you’re right about the speed, I’ve been passing guys in Lycra on £3000 bikes. Thanks for the review!

the instructions are now quite out of date – they might get you pointed in the right direction, but will need tweaking to work with current versions of Drupal and WordPress…

Thank goodness a real human being (not a nerd) has written such an easy to follow guide.

You could be a real life saver. Many thanks indeed.

it’s a pretty wide range of things – mostly revolving around social media and content creation. there are 2 days of sessions – the first is an unconference called MooseCamp, where anything goes. there have been hands-on photography workshops, art projects, etc… The second day is the Conference Proper, and topics range from intro-to-blogging/etc… to hacking code to more social aspects of stuff. It’s not an education conference, but has a strong edu- leaning. It’s not a tech conference, but is tech-oriented (but people of all backgrounds come, that’s what makes it such a great event)
