All of the things that I wrote...

I try to write a blog post here or there as much as possible, although with life and work it is very hard to keep on top of it sometimes.

Generally my posts are short form snippets of problems I ran into at work that I usually use as a reference in future projects. I try to be as entertaining and informative as possible in my writing style; if you ever find something that is factually incorrect or could do with improvement, then please feel free to email me at adamjamesbull [at] googlemail.com.
