The woods are my monastery - Darren Beale
http://bealers.com/2014/10/the-woods-are-my-monastery
Better Being, Better Doing. The woods are my monastery. October 30, 2014. TL;DR I’d much rather be in the woods than sitting in front a of a screen all day. I’ve realised this now and will start doing more of it again. Feel free to join me. I’m writing this post from my hotel room in Cardiff where I’m attending theweb.is. I should be heading out to dinner but I feel compelled to put this virtual pen to paper before my thoughts slip back into the relative mess of my mind. However, another factor that I’m ...

Before Sunrise :: Giving up Depression
http://blog.kdurrani.co.uk/2014/11/02/giving-up-depression
My weblog, mainly about coding, kids, life in Bristol and any combination of the above. This post was written 2 years ago. Sun, 02 Nov 2014. This is a uniquely stupid title, you might think.

Testing and Movies and Stuff. Sunday, October 30, 2016. Evolution Is Hard - Testing Is Evolving. Are you ready for the next evolution? Master Chief, G.I. Jane.

Andy Clarke and guests have plenty to talk about. I voted Remain, said Pooh,’ with Rachel Andrew. I’m warning you now, it’s a very different kind of episode of Unfinished Business. This week as Rachel Andrew. And I talk about our feelings on the referendum result for the UK to leave the EU. We talk about the issues that will affect us, you and our businesses in the coming months and years and what we’re already doing to help mitigate them.
