I’ve been off with a stomach bug this week and after five days I still can’t eat anything. Now in a 9000 calorie deficit and having dropped 7kgs, I keep thinking how I really just need someone to hand me things when it’s too hard to get up. That made me wonder, isn’t there an…

I’m now almost three weeks into a new role with the app team and today took part in my first app hackathon. At first I was slightly alarmed that we were all going to be taking a day out of delivery with an important deadline on the horizon, but I thoroughly enjoyed the day and…

Over a year ago now, I blogged about Samaritans Radar, a tool created by the charity that caused a lot of controversy amongst the strong mental health community on Twitter and elsewhere. I agreed with a lot of the issues people raised, though for me privacy wasn’t top of the agenda, my worry was more…
