About the Author:
Chris Rand is a technical journalist and website publisher from Cambridge, England. His interests will become quite clear with a quick glance at this website, although as the site has been around for the best part of ten years now, there are a lot of historic artefacts too.
Here are the main things people come here for, apart from the rants...

A Postcode Finder which works!
Here's a good find: an easy-to-use version of the the Royal Mail Postcode Finder, the normal version being one of those websites which has long been criticised as an overelaborate nightmare (takes ages to load, requires pointless logging-on, etc etc). The nice version is on the Royal Mail Access Website which it has kindly designed "so that people with disabilities, including visual impairments can access it easily". You have to wonder: what about the rest of us? Thanks NTK
