I've created a new category in my blog for cool technical gadgets that I come across in the course of my work or play. Because I don't want to be accused of advertising and get struck off any Planets, I won't be feeding it Planet Debian or Planet Linux Australia.

Update

Due to technical difficulties with the fakecat plugin for Blosxom, I'll be spamming all you Planet readers with my gadget posts. Sorry, I tried. It's vaguely product-reviewy as opposed to blatant advertising anyway.

Update

Due to extreme responsiveness from fakecat's author, Planet Debian and Planet Linux Australia readers are now spared.

No, I don't have a gangrenous penis.

Today, I was issued with my helmet as I had passed my first aid course.

For some reason, first aid officers get a green helmet. Chief fire wardens get a red helmet, floor wardens get a yellow one.

I'm not quite sure why someone who performs first aid requires a helmet. If I don't wear it, can I still provide first aid?
