    Falling for your coworker? Risky.

  14. Mike Little: the British co-founder of WordPress you’ve probably never heard of (but should)…

    In the story of WordPress –the tool that powers 45% of the web, including 10s of 1000s of film sites– Mike Little is Steve Wozniak to Matt Mullenweg's Steve Jobs. Matt polished the interface, the marketing and curly quotes – while Mike added the blogroll, rebuilt the code, and added the one-click easy-upgrade that's been central to its success. But unlike Woz, Mike never had shares in Matt's $7bn business – or even a job there. He didn't know you could make a living from WordPress until he turned up at the first UK WordCamp. He hasn’t been knighted or hall-of-famed, and isn’t known outside of old WordPress developer circles. Is this because he’s a cheerful and easy-going northerner from Stockport? Because he didn’t have a degree? Because he’s black? I don’t know. All I know for sure, is this is someone who anyone in tech, or who uses WordPress, should know about.

  21. David Nicholas Wilkinson: before Creators, the original filmmaker-as-distributor

    45 minutes of one man speaking isn't what today's web video looks like – even peppered with clickworthy stories of giving Kenneth Branagh his first TV job, giving Antony Hopkins his first directing gig, the director confessions of John Schlesinger or the origin of Phil Colins' music career. But what David has in common with the modern web's Creator universe is he started distributing his own films – long before that was a thing. He pioneered making films he would also sell and find an audience for, while resolutely avoiding Hollywood and sticking with the stories and people he believed in. This interview follows David from paper-round to model, actor in London's West End - bullied for his working class background - then on to production as the BBC's first indie producer in the 80s. Then in the 90s, after unintentionally inventing the Special Interest video genre distributing his James Herriot's Yorkshire –which made back its investment 15 times over– he became a distributor. He's now finishing his fifth feature documentary as director/distributor about his experience of - and learning – around bowel cancer.

  22. Web pioneer Cath Le Couteur on digital utopias, closing Shooting People, film collectives & the future.

    > "I'm not an anti-tech person. Shooters was built on technology. But I am mindful that we want technology that doesn't extract, technology that enables people." Long before social networks and smart phones in the mid-90s, Cath entered the world's first cyber-cafe in Soho, London to message a cyber-girlfriend in Australia. There she met Cyberia's founder Eva Pascoe, and joined the woman-owned company that shaped the early-90s UK web-scene. Next she went to BBC Online, still a quirky start-up at the BBC figuring out How To Internet, befriended the late Jess Search who started producing her films. Using London Filmmakers Coop to borrow their kit they have a Big Idea – what if the film coop culture of filmmakers helping each other, met the Usenet lists, forums and chat-rooms Cath encountered at Cyberia? So together they founded Shooting People in 1998, a daily email bulletin running on GNU Mailman. It began with 60 email addresses and grew…
