I found a relatively simple recipe that stated 100mg gluten free … Read More “Gluten Free Yorkshire Puddings that work” »
So I’ve just installed the Noctua NH-D15 and I must admit I’m instantly impressed by both its size and cooling performance.

People do this all the time, it’s nothing new, but they generally stick … Read More “Standardising logging and parallelisation in multiple languages” »
I’m not sure what to think of this Lego® trailer for 50 Shades of Grey. I’ve found the whole 50 Shades Phenomenom to just fly by me and now even Lego® is in on it. I feel like this is missing some kind of humour that makes it Lego®. I’m all for Lego® to continue making parodies but this … Read More “50 Shades of (Lego®) Grey” »
