It will get you away from what you have known previously and and help you to de-institutionalise yourself. I found that it helped me to better understand what I wanted out of life and that working for other people or organisations was not going to take me where I wanted to be. I hope it works for you. The Bit Torrent search engine sounds interesting. Might I ask how it would differ from typing 'filetype:torrent xyz' into Google? You mentioned a handover to your former colleagues at the BBC. Who is the contact now to get prototypes listed on Backstage? Also, if you hear of any projects in need of some Virtual Reality, please let me know :) All the best Ben I found it beneficial to hang out in nature away from technology, and what a great time of year to do so.

I have just finished university and for the first time in 3 years I don't have an assignment to do or a lecture to attend. It is a bit disconcerting. You could always watch Countdown and Deal or no Deal..... I know the feeling.
