My latest: Move over bat tunnel, here’s the wild story of how HS2 were forced to build a multi-million pound bridge for a road that… doesn’t actually exist.

I'm on the agenda for the #ukoug conference 2025.
9:00 a.m. on Monday morning (I tell myself that that's to encourage people to be on-site early enough to attend the opening keynote afterwards)

For the past 6 months I've been anonymously mailing collage cards i made to a café/art space in Nebraska. They're in a town with 40 people. I don't know them and I've never been there. I put a code on the back of the cards. If you figure it out it's my email address. They finally emailed me today!
