“If you can identify what are the valid criticisms of your code or your ideas or your writing, and who are the trolls, and which are the other people just being temporarily stupid obtuse geniuses-in-waiting, you can parlay all that valid feedback and move from fool to slightly less fool in quick time.”

“Freelancers are unlike normal people and will automatically know where the printer is. Though, of course, your computer won’t be networked to it. It will take IT three days to attach you to a printer named after a celebrity.”

“The importance of comprehending context - circumstances and conditions that surround a place, thing, or event - within the mobile environment cannot be overstated. Your content is of little value to users if it ignores the context in which it is viewed, manipulated, and processed.”

““If you’ve got a list of 20 things you should be doing, pick the most important one or two and then just let go of the rest. You will never upload your music to every one of these sites. You will never contact every person. You will never enter every contest. Just take the one or two things that would make the biggest difference in your career, do those one or two, then stop. Turn your attention to the next one or two most important.””

“I didn’t RTFA, but I for one welcome our new, naked Natalie Portman and grits overlords, to which CmdrTaco replied, “you must be new here.” He’s a Twitter sock-puppet, but so am I, you insensitive clod! In Soviet Russia, the only way to be sure is for orbit to nuke you with a beowulf cluster (yes, it runs Linux!). ??? Profit! I am trying to condense Slashdot down to a fine extract. Anyone else want to see if they can perfect it?”

Malcolm Middleton & Alan Bissett - The Rebel on His Own Tonight (1,141 plays on Last.fm)

A collaboration by erstwhile Arab Strap member Malcolm Middleton and Falkirk-based author Alan Bissett, from the Chemikal Underground Records compilation Ballads of the Book.

AL Kennedy on a collaboration between Scottish writers and musicians:

Lyrical folk, politicised rage, a shattering meditation on death, a chat with Jesus, love, hate and Calvinism - it’s a varied compilation with an underlying commitment that makes it curiously unified, and not a Scottish cliché to be found.

“Mix tapes mark the moment of consumer culture in which listeners attained control over what they heard, in what order and at what cost. It liberated us from music stores and radios in the same way radios and recordings liberated generations earlier from the need to be present at the performance of live music.”

- From Mix Tape, edited by Thurston Moore.
