    Scraping LinkedIn for info is really useful. It’s also really difficult. The company knows that they need to walk a fine balance between showing people information about Jobs, Businesses, and People, and making sure people don’t just replicate all that information themselves. They do this by focusing probably 80% of their dev team on this…

  • No going back

    I learnt the hard way today that while you can always add salt, you can never really remove it. Act accordingly.

  • Over Promised

    We went as a family to the Denver Bastille Festival, which lasts for three days. It was terrible. Strikingly so. There was the French Chamber of Commerce, a Crepes store, and a few empanada (?) stores as well. Very disappointed, because nothing gets me more excited than a French Market!

  • End of the week

    It has been a big week, and I’m absolutely stuffed. Time to take it easy. A sick child and a couple of huge deadlines sure are demanding!

  • Blocked up

    Occi is unwell. Not badly, but she has a bad case of the sniffles, and while it hasn’t dampened her spirits, it has made life a little bit tougher. We’ve been lucky so far in avoiding illness, but it was only a matter of time. The little girl darts around the floor, army crawl style,…

  • Upgrading Work

    Today was a GREAT day at work. Which is a very good thing, because the last two weeks I have been feeling a little flat about it. Not sad, not willing to quit. Just not that excited, a bit hom hum. It was leading to a poor effort, which meant my work got a little…

Why I started this blog

I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.

With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.

While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
