    On the off chance that you're staying for more than a few days I'd recommend dropping into a Salt or Sunrise store and buying a pre-pay e-sim. They're reasonably priced and should …

    In the UK you have the advantage of easy access to 3 phase electricity, most houses can simply pull 2 more wires from the mains and have it. Whereas in the likes of Ireland you nee…

    I have found straight up bidding to be a much slower process. You don't have to immediately respond, if an estate agent is applying pressure you should just ignore them and respond…

    Your argument is about as well formed as your sentences. I can only assume you're a troll account given how new your account is and that you clearly didn't read the comment you're …

    Well put, I agree with you and I'm happy to hear someone with a more informed opinion was giving input at a level that mattered. As with most things in life, too far to either extr…

    I don't have kids yet but it is something that has been discussed about my nieces and nephews. As you say, you don't want your kids to become social pariahs but you also don't want…

    One of our systems runs AWS code repository in parallel to Github and builds are triggered from there (but not in us-east-1). Time to migrate the rest of our systems to having that…

    SQS went down for us in us-east-1 and we lost health checks on instances there. Fully recovered now.

    Someone did a really funny presentation on all apps moving to the web and then eventually OS's, followed by OS's running on OS's on the web. If anyone know's where I can find it I …
