So Microsoft has been in talks with Github about a potential acquisition. There are several reasons why this is a terrible idea. Github is a pretty solid git repo hosting company, but it has a few core values that are in jeopardy here and I'm not sure Microsoft(or anyone …

Wild Wild Country – The Soundtrack

For anyone who hasn't seen Netflix's Wild Wild Country, I highly recommend you watch it. The story told, along with the wealth of footage they got their hands on makes it an incredible watch.

The soundtrack is also excellent, I've put together the soundtrack as …

Freedom from the Known can be a tough book to crack, the lessons offered within are almost dismissed by the arguments made within the book, on top of that it's likely most won't be in a position to even accept what they read as they are reading it. Despite these …

A lot of people have been asking about how they might offline their favourite 8track tracks and I've come up with a rudimentary solution while I was doing some offline coding. On 8tracks I've found a great playlist series called Cold Machines created by user sowat on 8tracks and I …

I've been reading E. M. Forster's Aspects of the Novel and in it I came across a discussion on the French writer André Gide, specifically about his book Les faux-monnayeurs(The Counterfeiters).

The book is a merge of reality and fiction, Gide himself keeps a journal of his life as …

I went through the precision nutrition trial fast last Sunday, here's a low-down on how things went through each of the steps. I had trialled this while out and about in central London, but failed at around 5pm, I was disorganised and feeling incredibly dizzy from the crowds and noise …

Last night I finished Roddy Doyle's The Woman Who Walked Into Doors and I figured I'd write a quick review on it. It's a book on the life of an Irish working-class woman named Paula who is struggling with an abusive husband and attempting to keep her family from the …

Recently I watched Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru, after reading through some of the Criterion info on Kurosawa I realised I'd watched a bunch of his movies, I'm a huge fan of Seven Samurai.

The Criterion Collection is a wonderful distribution company and I'm a huge fan of a number of their …

So I've been looking into intermittent fasting lately for several reasons. Firstly, as a means to get a leaner physique, but also as I'm looking to do more research into leaner more efficient eating as it is. I'm also hoping a side effect of it will promote generally more mindful …

The Christmas holidays are coming to an end. The flash of New Years fireworks are already beginning to dim in your memory. You might be returning to work or you've already returned. Maybe you're feeling disgruntled and little sad that it all went by so fast and what do you …

Deciding to become vegetarian is not an easy step. I decided to dip my toe in the water several years ago by trying a month of not eating meat, I would highly recommend everyone try this at least once just to see what it might be like. I enjoyed the …

Happy Programmers Day!

Have a productive one…

Or you're sacked.

"I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." — Mark Twain

Lately I've been struggling with consistently writing. I find it difficult to sit down in the morning and begin to write. Usually ideas fall out of my head and I get into …

I'd been in Cape Town for two weeks beforehand, just remotely working and doing some sightseeing around the area. So I had plenty of time for prep for the trip and was pretty relaxed arriving at Ashanti Logde(where the trip starts). The trip was booked through African Budget Safari's …

So, for the last 6 weeks I've been over-landing from Cape Town to Nairobi. I decided to ditch almost all of my tech for the trip. My Samsung Galaxy S3 and my Thinkpad were replaced with an old school phone and a notepad. I also picked up a tiny little …

Yesterday I finished my final exam in a course I was taking in philosophy and I figured now was a good time to explain the question everyone asks when I tell him what I'm studying. Why study philosophy? To be honest, my answers were always pretty poor, mostly I'd say …

Deciding to become vegetarian is not an easy step. I decided to dip my toe in the water at the start of the year by trying a month of not eating meat, I would highly recommend everyone try this at least once just to see what it might be like …

I always wondered why, if the UK/US were at war with terrorism, why they always made such fantastic declarations about how powerful terrorists were and that they had infiltrated all elements of society? Surely this would simply add more gas to the fire and prolong the effect of the …

Atheists and theists alike have for centuries attempted to debate the existence of God, desperately trying to reason out a conclusive answer. The reality of this struck me while I was reading a series of MIT lectures notes on arguments for and against the existence of God.

The lecture notes …

In Descarte's second meditation, he moves onto classification of the mind and body. The initial argument is that he must exist, even if there is absolutely nothing in the world he must exist, even if all existence is presented by a deceiver, he still must exist to be deceived. He …

So I've just finished Descarte's Meditations on First Philosophy and I'm going to try put up a response to each Meditation in the next few days, as well as the objections and responses Descarte added after the initial six meditations.

I whole-heartedly accept the I have the unfair advantage of …
