After two weeks in the South of France and one day back at work I'm struggling to remember the feel of the sun on my skin, sand between my toes and the taste of a crisp white wine.&Acirc;&nbsp; I spent two weeks sunbathing, water-skiing, relaxing and watching a lot of &quot;House&quot;.

Flipping heck, now I know how you guys feel when you're waiting for your Finals, MRCP, MRCS&Acirc;&nbsp;(or whatever) results.&Acirc;&nbsp; I'm doing an MBA, and the biggest part of my course is a 60-credit 'Fundamentals of Senior Management' module.&Acirc;&nbsp;

Over the years I have enjoyed both taking part and watching Motocross, it must be said that motocross is one of the most dangerous sports there is.

In the margins of a recent meeting I was having a discussion with Dr Philip A Kalra, author of PasTest's bestselling Essential Revision Notes for MRCP 3rd Edition (ISBN:&Acirc;&nbsp;9781905635467) and we began talking about the role of medics in the development of warfare.

With the majority of our blog posts focusing on medicine, I have decided to write a little something about the roles of computers and the internet in education and how I see these roles developing and expanding in the future.
