Weekly Update 393 – Source: www.troyhunt.com

A serious but not sombre intro this week: I mentioned at the start of the vid that I had the classic visor hat on as I’d had a mole removed from my forehead during the week, along with another on the back of my hand. Here in Australia, we have one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world with apparently about two-thirds of us being diagnosed with it before turning 70. At present, the bits they cut off me were entirely unremarkable (small dot about an inch over my left eye if you’re really curious), but the point I wanted to make was what I mentioned in the video about us doing annual checks; every year, we voluntarily front up at the GP and he checks (almost) every square inch of skin for stuff that we’d never normally notice but under the microscope, may look a bit dodgy. It’s an absolute no-brainer that takes about 10 minutes and if he does decide to remove something, there’s another 10 minutes and a stitch. If you’re in the sun a lot like us, just do it 🙂

With that community service notice done, let’s get into today’s video:
