For everyone enjoying Tour de France Unchained on Netflix, well those scenes of pain and suffering up beautiful hill climbs are getting recreated on Sunday in the beautiful Bannau Brycheiniog in Wales (specifically the Rhigos and Bwlch) just much much much more slowly and with far far far less athleticism.

I'm doing the Macmillan 100 Dragon Ride in a few weeks, hauling my carcass round the Bannau Brycheiniog in memory of my brother Theo. Any donations will make a huge difference to enable Macmillan support cancer patients and their families.

Decided on the topic of a new talk for this fall.

It's an explanation and live demo of a completely browser based cash register, including barcode scanner, cash drawer, customer displays and receipt printer. All using WebSerial, WebUSB, WebHID and other Fugu APIs.

Demo is done. Code is open-source. Still working on the actual talk.

If there are any conferences interested in such a topic, let me know!
