While running The IND-Network Cluster, I try to test out different open source solutions to achieve a particular task and often, the experimentation spawns new projects.
In the past, I have been asked if I could host a cluster node on my network so that a user can have their own remote server.
It sounded quite a [...]

While doing one of our regular shopping trips, we saw this box of tea containing a free monkey.
PG tips started in Manchester back in 1869 and during the 1950s the first PG tips ‘chimpanzees’ advert appeared featuring the ‘Tipps family’ with all the chimps dressed as humans and drinking tea.

With the advent of the discovery of global warming, the UK has gone into a mad frenzy to single handedly save the planet.
This little country is being driven by the media to reduce their energy emissions with the finger mainly pointing at the every day citizen to do their bit for the environment.
