Michel Thomas Italian – Foundation
I recently had a listen to this while I was driving my car. I really recommend this course. It’s currently free on Spotify. It’s been edited a bit since Michel Thomas died, but the new arrangement is even better. Not sure it should have been split into Foundation and intermediate, you now complete an entire…

Martin Fowler on CI and CD
It’s been a while since I watched/listened to Martin Fowler speak and didn’t learn anything new, but I guess if you shrink something down into 15minutes you’re not going to go into much depth. But here’s a short talk… enjoy!

Code with GitHub Copilot

Don’t police the boycott
My reaction to people trying to shut down the Royal Vauxhall Tavern for showing Eurovision a few weeks ago: Stop telling other people what they need to boycott. You boycott what you like, but don’t make other people feel bad when there are 100s of things you’re not boycotting. When you have successfully cut out…

What is the meaning of life?
Why would I ask such a big question? Am I seeking to enter into a philosophical discourse? No, here I am seeking a practical way to address the issue of what one wants to achieve out of Life Coaching. Many people seek to better their lives through Life Coaching, but then we must ask the…
