The Wireless Menace!
There’s been a lot of excitement in the media lately about the alleged dangers of wi-fi equipment. But it seems the truth is much more sinister than even the most hysterically ignorant bad journalism[1] would have us believe. Read it … Continue reading
Slightly quieter month
After April’s posting frenzy, I seem to have slowed down a wee bit this month. I’ll blame it on being away in Manchester at the beginning of the month. Or something.
