I’m Will. For over a decade I’ve worked in technology and tech transformation across charities and social enterprises, healthcare, and in education. Welcome to my site. I mainly use this as a place to write out my (mostly tech-based) thoughts. I'm a firm believer that technology should be easier to understand for everyone, and this little corner of the internet is my way of trying to do that.

Some thoughts from the week I've seen some pretty impressive phishing emails this last couple of weeks. One of the UK's more popular charity focused CRMs had a breach a little while ago, and it's hard to ignore the timelines. Half a dozen colleagues have sent emails in the last 2 weeks that have been apparent email...
I have a 2012 Kindle Paperwhite, which as of May hasn't been able to take new ebooks. Thanks Jeff 👍 I looked briefly at getting a new ereader - certainly something not Amazon. But the thing is, there is nothing wrong with the Kindle I have. In fact, I love it. It's the perfect size and weight for me to hold, and the...
Trying a new thing So I thought I'd take a stab at some weeknotes. It's something I enjoy reading from other people, and I've been meaning to start the habit for ages. It was one of my New Year's resolutions, in fact, so September seems about right to give it a crack. Some ground rules for myself. I will only ever...
Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12 Million Given to DHH Brennan Kenneth "You can't separate the art from the artist" can be an interesting discussion to have in the abstract. And then your favourite artist is a paedophile, and suddenly you have to decide whether you can still listen to their music. Or the author...
It's been a while since I've messed around with my website. While Jekyll has served me very well, and until recently I had a workflow that worked very well for me. But then I went and messed around with my Obsidian Vault (yes, since the last time I posted about it), and while that was great for my day-to-day, it...
I read two blog posts this morning almost back to back that got the exact opposite reaction from me. The more I thought about it, the more I needed to reconcile that. So, here's me trying to do that in pretty much real time... First, this post from James Zhan about a presentation he went to on AI writing vs Human...

This post is inspired by JP, who speaks about how Google has become an insessant nagging AI-pusher. The more and more we let “AI” in, the more liberties it seems to take. For me, this is crystalised perfectly by one thing. If you use Microsoft Outlook, or Google Gmail (and I’m sure others do this), now when you...

As frequent readers might know, I have been playing around with this site for a while. In fact, I do it so often that non-frequent readers probably also know - lately I've talked more about changes to this site than I've talked about pretty much anything else. Anyway, the biggest structural change was a recent move...
