Since this is a bit of a technical post, I thought I’d pop this video in. It’s broadly related, but it also has the advantage of giving the non-techies something to enjoy in amongst all the jargon. It’s also a contemporary celebration of the classic British tradition of the ‘pun skit’. Four Candles 2.0, if [...]
