Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

Madeira (Escaping the Rain)
Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

Novartis and Roche are headquartered there.…

Desk Job
Exactly how long can you write about four hooks for? Well reader, you are about to find out. Stick around for a wild ride! First I’d like to ease prospective readers in. Here’s a picture of my exquiste lunch on Monday. It’s a buffalo chicken hot sandwich from Rhubarb & Mustard in Plymouth. For those…

Robot Arms and Alan Wake 2
Robot kits, Indiana Jones, and Alan Wake 2. Robotics 101 Taking a stroll round the charity shop after leaving off a donation is always a risky prospect. If you’re unlucky, you end up walking away with more than you arrived with. Knee and elbow pads. A pair of WiFi plugs. And a robotic arm kit…
