Guns, the EU and the US presidential campaign

The title does sound rather salacious doesn't it, and while I am sure some idiot will combine all of the points and turn this into some form of manifesto, but there is nothing to the list, other than a short version of "things that are really getting on my tits at the moment." To be fair it by no means exhaustive either, I don't think any of us have that kind of time, but, let's meander for a bit.

Spring has sprung... but...

Health and Safety is a funny thing in the UK. We don't define an upper limit for the office temperature. Instead we crowd source and use Thermal Comfort as an indicator. This basically means that as long as under 20% of the population are moaning, nobody gives a crap. However, paraphrasing from the HSE website:

• People working in uncomfortably hot and cold environments are more likely to behave unsafely;
• The workers' ability to concentrate on a given task may start to drop off and increases the risk of errors occurring;
• The problems [with adapting to the thermal environment] arise when this choice (to remove jacket, or move away from heat source) is removed, and people are no longer able to adapt.

A whole load of agravation

So I have a blog. I wouldn't normally vent, but today is a special day. Today is the day that (in my mind at least) I am no longer associated with the I.T. world. Anyone who wants me to fix their computer I have 5 words for you...
