Projects!


Assorted projects I’ve poured some time into at some point or another.

Art of SQL

A collection of articles which hopefully explain some of the more confusing aspects of interacting with Relational Databases

Cookbook

Not a project, but a vibe! Some of my favourite recipes, so I can make sure I’ve got all the ingredients while I’m out shopping

Kev & Kali

Kev has been a travel companion on (some) of my travels over the last 10 years. Unfortunately, in recent years he’s started to suffer so has nominated his younger sister Kali to instead join us.

Rambling with Doug

I live in Derby, and as I always say - the best thing about living in Derby is how easy it is to get out of Derby. It has fantastic transport connections and the Peak District is right on our door. As such, I’ve started trying to walk around much more of it. Have a map of my progress so far! If you’re a member of the walking group, then feel free to go here and enter the super secret password!

Severn Trent Reservoirs

I realised a couple of years ago that Severn Trent (my local water company) publishes information about how full their reservoirs are. Given the… interesting situation we find ourselves in visa-vie climate, it’s interesting to me to see how this is actually changing year on year. Are the water levels about where we’d expect? Are we down? Up? Is their precedent? Unfortunately, the website is pretty awful for actually displaying this - it gives us the how full the reservoirs are in an HTML table week by week, but no easy way to meaningfully interpret it.
