randomfluff is a notes garden containing collected scraps of information, links and other material. Most of it is for personal use, but is published publicly in the unlikely event that anyone might be interested. The material here reflects my personal interests, hobbies and work activities. None of this is meant to be definitive - since much of what is published here will be works in progress or reference materials.
