Home of the famous hand-made XDelta coffee mugs

• Redland Pottery (Sarah)

These mugs started life as a shared joke between myself and some ex-colleagues. Almost every time I got involved with that project, I ended up drawing the same diagram to explain to everyone how the overall system was designed. So, getting some mugs made with that diagram on them seemed like a good idea. A stripped down version of that diagram then became the basis for the subsequent batches of XDelta coffee mugs. There are quite a few scattered around the world. They're not marketing give-aways - you have to earn them!
