Well the reason for my relapse again last week appears to be that I have a throat infection. White spots on my Tonsills and a sore throat and mild temperature being the evidence. As always whenever I get an infection the Stills symptoms come shooting back, but this time I...
I have read this book of essays a couple of times, the last time as a refresher for a project I am currently working on. I like the book, its approachable and well informed and covers the history and philosopy of Open Source well. However it does suffer from being...
This is one of the books I am reading this month, its on the schedule of my reading group. I am only 1/4 of the way through because I am only reading it whilst the kids are in swimming lessons but its good read and thought provoking too. Its observations...

In my view the best of the popular PC mags available in the UK, as the name implies it has a professional audiance, but still has all of the home user areas covered. As an IT guy everyone expects me to know PC’s and this magazine keeps me up to...
