We love Fudge Restaurant

Fudge Restaurant has been a local neighbourhood favourite in Princes Avenue, Hull, East Yorkshire for the past 6 years, and we are very fond of them too! A small independently owned restaurant with a passionate team (known to the regulars as Team Fudge!) the restaurant has an addictive personality, a friendly feel and is driven [...]

Moving on from MobileMe

I was a MobileMe user up until about eighteen months ago. I used it for syncing calendar entries, addresses and email between my iPhone, Desktop and Laptop. Largely, it all worked pretty well, though there were a few things that I thought felt dated. The major issue however, was that every few months something ‘weird’ would happen…

Isolation is not good for business

Hull has always been different and this is by no means a criticism. We must celebrate diversity and difference, it’s what makes us culturally rich however points of difference should be communicated, debated and argued in democratic society even if concession and compromise result. And it is through this discussion and debate that ideas are formed, circulated and agreed upon. Sounds sensible doesn’t it?

Windows 8 – Metro vs Desktop

by simonhudson

Recently I was sent this YouTube video about an old bloke thrown in to using the new Windows 8. My reaction to this type of ‘journalism’ is fairly scathing. My measured response is that the example in the video is neither a fair test since the unsuspecting suspect was given no guidance at all on [...]

There has never been a better time to start a digital business

by pdyson

Ask pretty much any politician what the key to getting ourselves out of the current economic mess is and they’ll say “business growth”. Ask them where that growth is going to come from and they’ll say “Small- and Medium-sized businesses”. If I’m feeling generous I’d say that the credit crunch and the global recession have [...]

Hull & The Knowledge Economy

by John Connolly

I’m passionate about Hull and its future. I was born here, educated here, returned after University, and have been running businesses in the city for the last eleven years or so. Hull’s been in a tough economic situation for many years now. The reasons behind this and the associated social impact are complex. What’s clear [...]
