Blog upgrade in progress
Source: Wikimedia Commons I’ve got the decorators in (well, myself anyway), so the Blog may have some issues over the next few days. This is an upgrade to a new version and it’s proved a little more painful. One thing I especially don’t like is the querystring stuff for old posts, but it’s either that, …
Hot blog with mustard
Isn’t it warm right now? I resigned from my job this week. Caught myself wondering whether my next place of work might have air-conditioning!

Stop ACTA!
A privately-negotiated international trade agreement that's anti-sharing, anti-privacy and anti-democratic.
Let's put a stop to ACTA.
Who you gonna call?
Hello, you. I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name as those guys. I'm a user experience consultant, expatriate, traveller, writer and pro cycling enthusiast.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert. I started my website in 2005 and I've been running it ever since.
