I’ve got to order a minimum of 25 of these in order to get some made. If anyone else fancies a cotton version of this shirt, then please comment below with your size.

If I get enough interest, I’ll sign them off to be created.

“To have compassion (co-feeling) means not only to be able to live with the other’s misfortune but also to feel with him any emotion-joy, anxiety, happiness, pain. This kind of compassion therefore signifies the maximal capacity of affective imagination, the art of emotional telepathy.”

- ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’, Milan Kundera

[Flash 10 is required to watch video.]

This video was taken as I was on my way to Hyderabad Airport in November 2009. These boys were collecting plastic bottles and other small plastic items to resell.

Some people may look at this in pity; but these boys are making the best of what they’ve been given. Aid to developing countries is a a contentious issue, especially in these ‘austere’ times - but I believe in giving people like these boys more of a chance. Give them a little and they’ll hopefully begin to make a lot.

FBI - Setting a Poor Precedent:

If this is going to be the reaction each time one server does something malicious - I’m definitely going to set up n-way replication for all the services I run. Three times more expensive, but definitely goes a long way to prevent something like this ruining business.

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

I remember being in hospital due to fitting after my elder brother stood on my head… not a happy memory - but an early one.

New Job

Thu, 16 Jun 2011 15:12:00 +0100

I thought I’d initiate my tumblr account with some big news.

After 5 years happily working at Zednax, I am now on the move. From the 11th of July I shall be taking over the role of System Administrator at Mobile Fun.

It should be an exciting move for me. I’m looking forward to working with multiple-departments, and learning a bit more about MobileFun as a business. There also appears to be some imminent expansion to Germany, France, Holland and Spain.

It will also mean a move back to Birmingham from Manchester - which is going to be pretty sad.. but will allow me more time to help out with Bees Rugby and reunite me with a load of old friends.
