Green Computing
Green computing is about reducing the energy required to build, test, operate and maintain software. It requires us to take responsibility for our own code and not just rely on the big cloud providers and others to do it for us.
I really believe that as software developers we can help save the planet. Find out more about this initiative and find out what you can do about it through my blogs, green computing manifesto and links to useful sites.

The Tragedy of Charlie Bluster
The hilarious epic adventure saga of a lovable small orphan boy with a runny nose who turns into a super arch-villain that will cause any hero to go running for the toilet in terror!
Charlie has a secret, a superpower, and lots of bad people like the Mafia want to use him for their own Evil Purposes such as Teasing their Little Sisters or Nicking Flipping Great Wadges of Cash.
