I don’t like to talk about my many works that I do for charity, but I thought I’d mention this one. Because it’s the only one I’ve done for a while.

Anyways, I’ve been talked into doing a charity bike ride on Sunday the 19th of July – it’s the London Bikeathon and I’ll be doing the Chelsea-Docklands loop of about 26 miles. On top of that, and in my mind the much more foolish bit, I’ll be getting to Chelsea from Ealing. I may cheat and use a train a bit. Anyways, if any of you lovely people feel the urge to throw some money in the direction of Leukaemia research, then you can can do it in my name. There is, as ever, a page over at JustGiving for me and my team.

If you want to play with phreadz, which is lovely and run by the lovely Kosso who does it all of it himself, then you should be able to get a beta (closed beetroot era, to be exact) login via the politics channel.

I seem to have agreed this evening to look into sorting out video streaming and social media linking for British Computer Society Young Professionals Group talks, starting with a “New Leaf, New Year” evening for the green computing group. Time to work out whether the ideas I had in the meeting are actually possible…
