September 2024
Pupdate The bad/sad news at the start of the month is that Milo’s back on chemotherapy; though it seems to be going well, and we’re already almost at the end of the first cycle. Apart from that the boys enjoyed some long walks before the weather turned. Navy Reunion It’s been 35 years since a […]

June 2024

October 2022
Pupdate The boys were too frequently pulling on their lead when wearing harnesses, so we did a bit of slip lead training, and now they’ve got collars and they’re walking much more nicely :) New VPS I’ve mentioned in past posts that I run a handful of VPSs so that I can emerge from the […]

Background A travel router has been part of my kitbag for many years, starting with a D-Link DWL-G730AP back in 2007. More recently I’ve been using a few GL.iNet GL-MT300N (v2), as they’re small and cheap enough to have in my work bag and my travel bag. I wasn’t particularly worried about speed, as I […]

Zurich to Munich by Bus
TL;DR If you happen to be in Zurich, and you want to get to Munich (or vice versa), then it turns out that the Inter City Bus (ICB) is probably the least worst option. Background I was in Zurich last week speaking at the Open Cloud Forum hosted by UBS, where it was my great […]

The best conference bag
I get to go along to a lot of industry conferences, and goody bags are pretty standard fair. I expect that most of them quickly find their way to landfill, which is always a shame. A couple of years ago I was visiting somebody who I’d met at a conference, and I had one of […]
