My grandad introduced me to Ray Harryhausen when I was about 5 and I was obsessed with his films as a kid. His was the first filmmaker’s name I ever knew, and his work was the first thing that ever made me wonder about the process of making films. His movies are a big part of why I grew up with such a love of film. I introduced my daughter to them when she was 3, we watched Clash of the...

Archers Early Warning System
I made a little thing. I totally love Radio 4, but I also totally hate The Archers, so I figured I would hack together a little bot that would warn me whenever The Archers is about to spoil my day. Then I realised I’m probably not alone in hating The Archers so I made it announce its warnings on Twitter. Follow it for your own peace of mind. PS. This sketch by John Finnemore is exactly...

Dealing with Recruiter Spam
If you’re anything like me you probably get several unsolicited emails per day from black-hat recruitment consultants. If you’re like me you’ve probably tried lots of ways of dealing with this, from replying to them asking to be removed from their database to publicly calling them out on Twitter.
