One Man's Notes

That @neilperkin draws a mean skull and crossbones…

I may have a battery “problem”.


Training and thinking…

Sweaty, slightly drunk ma’n who keeps bashing his Thinkpad against my MacBook Pro in an aggressive way…


If all's going well…

…then this blog is finally up and running in WordPress rather than Typepad.

Much as I used to love Typepad, the slow pace of development meant I was more and more frustrated every time I used it. So I stopped using it, and over the last couple of months, in very small bursts of activity, I’ve migrated it.

Let’s see how it goes…


Look at this pebble, Dad!

Pod coffee's bad taste for the planet

The pod problem:

But what bugs me most about pods isn't the marketing. It's the needless waste. Those 186m capsules used in Britain last year all had to go somewhere. So far, most aren't going in the recycling. Dolce Gusto mixed-plastic capsules "cannot currently be recycled in the UK", though a spokesperson says Nestle is "exploring a number of possible solutions." Tassimo T-Discs are "fully recyclable with Terracycle," though so far there are only 40 UK recycling points.

Convenience comes with a price in both taste and the environment…
