if you've already told the HMRC that you need to self-assess, you need to complete the form online by the 31st Jan, or incur penalties.
If you haven't, you can defer your SEIS relief until next year. I would recommend that course of action as it's pretty late in the game now to get registered/activated on HMRC to self assess for this year.
If you have registered to self assess and have not yet done so, you will have gotten a letter through the post reminding you to do it by the 31st Jan. Follow the steps in that letter to get your activation code etc - do this now, as it takes up to 7 days to get your activation code.
In the meantime, gather together all of your relevant information (P60s, any interest from bank accounts, SEIS form, etc).
Once you have everything together and have your activation you can do your return. Mine was very straightforward (single employer, PAYE, a few other investments) and took about 15 minutes to complete. Just follow the instructions really. -

My SEIS3 from the initial round arrived yesterday.
The link above ^^ talks mostly about the requirements for the company rather than the investor.
The below links are a bit more useful for investors, about how to claim relief.

Slightly off topic, but I find login with persona a bit clunky.
I'm always logged in to gmail/google with my primary gmail address, but I use a secondary gmail address for forums (and now for microcosm). I use POP3 to check my secondary email address via my primary, and have various filters in place to only see the good stuff, so I never log in to secondary directly.
When I try to log in to microcosm via persona, it throws a wobble because I'm not logged in with my secondary address. It wants me to logout of my primary, which isn't going to happen.A way around this is to use 'Add Account' in gmail to add my secondary account, so that I'm logged in to both at the same time. I'd rather not do that, as it sort of defeats the purpose of having the secondary address.
Am I unique in this, or is this just something to live with?

building communities, online
that's much better. the fact that it's on a computer is largely for convenience rather than being integral to the end goal of building a interest-based, relevant network.
relevance (lack thereof) is something that i hear facebook users moan about, so that may provide a valid contrast. where you may have facebook friends that you had common interests/experiences with at some point in the past, your microcosm networks will always be relevant to your interests, and if your interests change, make a new microcosm.
