Creativity, curiosity, and code
I’m a far-from-compulsively over-organised person and I like to think that I’m quite balanced: we need to be organised to get things done, but being TOO organised can, in my opinion, hinder your work. But…it’s gotten a little too chaotic around here. I’m not overloaded. It’s actually been quite quiet of late. But with working […]
The weather this spring is good and fuel prices are high, so it's the ideal time to consider the question "Could I cycle to work?" and, if so, what sort of bike should I get?

All sorts of things are ‘speaking’ to me at the moment. I’m not sure if God is talking louder in this uncertain time or if I’m listening better. Last night we did a bit of TV catchup and saw the jungle episode of the BBC’s brilliant ‘Human Planet’. And while the programme as a whole […]
