Just noting with astonishment the amount of men who, faced with this little thought-experiment, have replied with "This is brutal!" or "This is unfair!" or "You sound abusive!" I KNOW, RIGHT? IT SOUNDS REALLY FUCKING WEIRD AND CREEPY TO FUCK WITH MENS' BODIES AND CHOICES.

Slow clap for Domestic & General Support who have managed to send us 6 almost identical letters - one for each of the appliances that came with our house. 18 sheets of A4, 6 envelopes and 6 return envelopes. Could have been an email. #wasteofpaper

Wrote a blog post about an interesting Safari bug that we looked into… (*checks watch*) a little over a year ago. obyford.com/posts/the-safa… Better late than never, I guess?

Personal news: after 10 years, I'm leaving GDS. I've had a brilliant time here and am proud of what I and we have achieved. I'm planning to write a personal retrospective on my time here.

In the meantime, I am looking for a new role. I'm an engineer with >10 years experience, with particular strengths in infrastructure and security engineering. I'm available from March onwards. Let me know what you have!
