So here comes a short post (kept short mainly for hunger-oriented reasons), just to collect your opinions on what I should get my new desk made from.
Essentially it’s going to be about the width of the shortest wall (the photo below shows the current desk extending about half the way down the wall, with one …
You may remember, if you’re one of my more hard-core readers, back in the old blog, I used to make a few posts about the past present and future of the iPlayer.
