Dissertations, surgery, new home, new jobs and graduation are just a few examples, but I want to tell you about my new BUSINESS.

The Lincolnite is a local news and events website for the people of Lincoln: whether they live, work or study there. We have an office not far from the University so are very central to our new output.

It’s all good so far, we are inundated with company’s press releases, and are starting to get requests for advertising and tip offs from the most unlikely of people.

The best bit has to be when speaking to people, 5/10 say “Oh, I know you, nice site!” which is good to hear after just 3 months.

It was about time Lincoln got a new news output, and i hope the people will enjoy reading it as much as we do writing it.

As a director of its media group, Stonebow Media, and the Associate Editor of The Lincolnite, I’m keen to see it flourish.

If you have anything you think would make a great story, or would like to advertise with us, don’t be a stranger and drop me a message.

Twitter users blessed with the new Retweet functionality, as explained in our visual guide, will be logging in to find that the new beta feature is no longer available. The removal of the new feature comes only days after it was introduced, with Twitter putting the removal of the feature down to numerous bug errors.

Up until last year, US rock band From Autumn to Ashes had been very quiet.

This may have been because of the departure of their vocalist, Benjamin Perri. However luck was on the band’s side as drummer Jeff Gretz stepped up to front the group shortly after 2007’s album Holding a Wolf by the Ears was released.

Since, the band has been growing from strength to strength, touring the world. Bandidge speaks to FATA’s Brian Deneeve (guitar and vocals) on gigging and …erm… tampons.

There are not many musicians out there who have come out of Lincolnshire. However, there was one band, I Was A Cub Scout, who looked set to change that. From playing to crowds at Leeds and Reading to the duo’s quirky music videos on MTV, it was going well. Until they split.

But drummer Will Bowerman, 21, didn’t give up there. Now he has worked with the likes of Panic at the Disco and Babyshamles, and is currently drumming for electropop newcomers La Roux.

When doing typical tasks such as browsing the Web or writing a document, there’s nothing more annoying than Apple’s new multi-touch gestures on the MacBook Pro trackpad.

Ryan Jagger

Here is an interview I did a couple of months ago with a local RnB musician Ryan Jagger, written for The Linc. Currently I interview local bands once a week to give them some attention on the website or even in the print addition.

Ryan Jagger has created a bit of a stir in the quiet town of Cleethorpes. Just 21-years-old, Jagger has written, recorded, and is in the process of releasing his pop-RnB style music onto iTunes. He is being helped by J.Milnes, the man behind Jamelia and the Sugababes, and has played to crowds of 8,000 people.
