Tim Southwell

Tim Southwell is the co-founder of loaded magazine, launched in April 1994.

Biography

Along with James Brown and Mick Bunnage, Southwell helped create the men's magazine phenomenon of the 1990s. Previously to loaded, Southwell founded Zine Magazine (along with ex NME writer Iestyn George), a forerunner to loaded in terms of its empathetic style and homage to gonzo journalism. He then worked for Record Mirror, Smash HIts, iD and NME before teaming up with Brown to create loaded.

In 2003, Southwell set up his own publishing company, Keep Yourself Nice Ltd, launching Golf Punk, 'The Golf Mag For The Rest Of Us' in 2004. Tim was named Editor Of The Year at the 2006 BSME (British Society Of Magazine Editors) for Golf Punk, and also IPA (Independent Publishers Association) Editor Of The Year that same year.

In 2007 he set up Mind How You Go Media Ltd, producing Sony Magazine[1] (sub-contracted by Haymarket Network) for the electronics giant, and launched www.showmethegolf.com. Show Me The Golf TV was launched on Setanta's Golf Channel as a half hour weekly studio show in January 2009.

In July 2011, Mind How You Go Media Ltd started supplying premium content to GolfPunk's publishers in China, Singapore, Germany and Czech Republic. Later the same year the company attained the IP for GolfPunk in the UK.

August 2012 saw the relaunch of GolfPunk as a digital only magazine. The magazine has quickly re-established itself, and now features a host of rich media to complement the traditional magazine content. A unique readership of 43,000 was recorded for issue one and the magazine was shortlisted for Launch and Sports Magazine of The Year at the 2012 Digital Magazine Awards, despite only one issue being eligible for consideration.[2]

gollark: > Modern SIM cards allow applications to load when the SIM is in use by the subscriber. These applications communicate with the handset or a server using SIM Application Toolkit, which was initially specified by 3GPP in TS 11.14. (There is an identical ETSI specification with different numbering.) ETSI and 3GPP maintain the SIM specifications. The main specifications are: ETSI TS 102 223 (the toolkit for smartcards), ETSI TS 102 241 (API), ETSI TS 102 588 (application invocation), and ETSI TS 131 111 (toolkit for more SIM-likes). SIM toolkit applications were initially written in native code using proprietary APIs. To provide interoperability of the applications, ETSI choose Java Card.[11] A multi-company collaboration called GlobalPlatform defines some extensions on the cards, with additional APIs and features like more cryptographic security and RFID contactless use added.[12]
gollark: Yes.
gollark: But instead they're actually quite powerful things which run applications written in some weird Java dialect?!
gollark: Which could all be done in Software.
