    2018-10-16

    October has been manic and I've been down on my content-production. Here's a quick summary in projects, posts and pins!

  • Beat the Street – tinkering with a virtual version of the game

    2018-09-29

    In Swindon at the moment there is this brilliant “game” called “Beat the Street” intended to get people out and about and walking and cycling.

  • Do website owners need a “drivers license”, or should websites be more “self-driving”?

    2018-09-11

    Surely many of the things that I set up on new WordPress sites with plugins and settings tweaks are solved problems now. So why do I have to add them myself?

  • Charging up the SchoolBot

    2018-09-11

    I've been gently nudging SchoolBot development along in my mornings and evenings the last week - here's where it's at.
