Stuff from the internet

Bikes and that

http://www.thediscerningcyclist.co.uk/2014/09/quoc-pham-the-derby-review/ - Some really nice cycling shoes. I don't have clipless pedals but if I did these would be the shoes for me. Oh and their boots in the winter.

Coding

https://medium.com/@lucperkins/web-development-in-c-crazy-or-crazy-like-a-fox-ff723209f8f5 - It may seem mad but why not write your next web application in C? Some good tips if you do and a couple of interesting libraries even if you don't.

https://vimeo.com/71278954 - The future of programming circa 1974, given in a talk in 2014. TL;DW we are still programming like it's 1974.

Sysadmin

http://blog.petersobot.com/pipes-and-filters - A really simple introduction to what is going on in a unix pipe. Good to remind yourself of the basics sometimes.

http://youtu.be/mgcJPREl3CU?list=PLDGkOdUX1Ujo3wHw9-z5Vo12YLqXRjzg2 - Some good videos showing you how to driver Grafana which is turning out to be a really smart front end to graphite.

Making

http://www.rayjardine.com/papers/why-sew/index.htm - I brougt a broken sewing machine of ebay based on this post. ( Why do I insist on shaving the yak first every time?)

https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/ - I have been watching hours or Paul Sellers videos. He has such a great presenting style. Just watching him work is a pleasure. It's all hand tools as well so it a much more relaxed pace. I am seriously concierding treating myself to one of his courses.
