I am not planning to do a travel blog for every holiday, but this one seemed worthwhile. Sometimes familiar countries are more different than you might expect.

Artificial intelligence coding agents are cutting off our pipeline of new software developers. That led me to wonder if I am the last person to will ever learn Rust?

Honest reflections on my project to rebuild my website publishing software in Rust from scratch. All based around my git commit logs.

Our much used and cherished Q Club snooker hall is threatened with closure due to a bid to build more student flats. I share the letter I wrote to the Glasgow Herald.

As a latecomer to the Artificial Intelligence party, this blog describes my progression from ignorant naysayer to impressed realist and my Five Stages of AI acceptance.

My reasons for embarking on a journey of learning and enlightenment with Rust after years of writing Java & Python.

Ridiculously happy with my new shelf for biking tools and supplies. Simple thing, but actually a game changer.
