I do hope the information they're farming is free range organic stuff.

Looks like my #SRECon talk is up, in case people wanted to hear me witter on about how resiliency isn't straightforward.

My first #SREcon was a great experience and I've come away with a tonne of things to think about. Thanks to everyone who helped make it so good!

A packet of Tyrrell's crisps which proudly and prominently  proclaims "Now Made With 25% Recycled Plastic" just above the actual product description

In an Internet rabbit hole about public holidays, and discovered that St Patrick's Day is one by law if it falls Monday to Friday, or Sunday (subbed by the Monday).

If it's on a Saturday though, it's not covered by law - so they just bodge it and have the Monday proclaimed as one by the king.

Discovered over the weekend that my wife's family don't have pigs in blankets at Christmas. Guess at least I've got time to solve this problem.

Nothing quite like waking up thanks to dreaming the sound of your own doorbell at 6am. Thanks for that brain.

Liam Neeson is starring in one coming out next year, so I guess you got half of what you're suggesting there.

This is what this place is for right? Especially seeing as we don't get many days like this in London.
