It was my birthday on Saturday and in true geek style I decided the perfect way to spend my day would be to pay a visit to Bletchley Park. This blog post was intended to be all about my visit but unfortunately I heard some bad news this morning so that’s on hold. Tony Sale
Weight Loss For Geeks
Last time I talked about my recovery from my knee surgery I mentioned I thought I’d gained about a stone in weight. Losing weight is never something I’ve really had to worry about before. Despite having a predominantly desk based job for most of my working life my weight has always stayed pretty constant. Growing

Andrews and Arnold–Deaf Accessibility Done Correctly
Just a quick one I wanted to share. I frequently moan on my blog (and in person if we’re being honest!) about how Deaf accessibility, especially when it comes to technology isn’t something that’s taken into account often enough so it’s nice to be able to praise someone when they do get it right.

Book Review – Eastern Standard Tribe
Another Cory Doctorow book! This book was another that I’d actually got on my Amazon wish list before I realised it has also been released under a creative commons license. It took me quite a while to get into this. I read the first half of the book with a frown on my face as

How NOT to do customer communication
One of the simplest ways to improve your customer service is to think about how you expect to be treated by someone offering you a service. Mrs P and I recently decided we needed a new front door so turned to the Internet We posted a job on Rated People with an outline of the work
