Cochlear Implants
In November 2016 I received a cochlear implant, and for a while I recorded my experiences in an informal blog. You can look at it here.
I have started a page about traveling with a cochlear implant here. I am constructing a page about using the telephone... here, although this is far from finished.

Other stuff
Last Christmas (2016) I bought myself an Electric Bicycle. I have a webpage devoted to my new 'hobby' here.
At least one of my computers spends its spare time working on the Seti project.
I love doing cryptic crosswords, and particularly the UK Daily Telegraph. Big Dave's Crossword blog is a great resource. I have a page giving lists of various useful things.
I have found the Raspberry Pi to be a very interesting device, capable of being a full LAMP web-server, or a media centre running OSMC, as well as a general purpose computer running a version of Linux based on Debian "Raspbian". In fact a Raspberry Pi is serving you this page right now...
