Ifttt
Sometimes a web service comes along with a fantastic idea of how things can be improved on the internet. One of those services is Ifttt .
Currently a beta service, Ifttt allows you to create “flows” from web services to other web services. Essentially, you create a trigger action and then Ifttt does something with that action.
For example, this is one I’ve setup to test/use/

Texpad - Revisited
I’ve reviewed Texpad once before here. I said it was a good, native, Mac LaTeX editor that had a lot going for it.
Well the version I reviewed was v1.0 and now it’s on v1.26 so I thought it was about time to review it again to see how it’s improved.

Year of Change
Ok so its the end of the year and so its probably time for a quick yearly round up. This year has been a year of change for me. Quite a successful one as well to be fair and some of the changes have been quite drastic and range over a multitude of different areas of my life.

To much to soon?
Been following the Inov8 guide to getting started with minimal shoes and last weekend I skipped a week out and went from 8 minute runs to 15 (due to an error in my route planning!). Anyhow, that passed fine and my run on Tuesday was fine at 15, so I thought I’d stick with the 15 minute run.
Seems like a mistake, I now have a pain across the left foot when walking. It’s fine with no...
