[Backlinks are important](https://www.workroom-productions.com/why-are-backlinks-important-to-me/) to the way I'll build this site: bringing together old and new content, and trying to **stitch it into something fun to explore**. Use the "*what links here*" button at the end of the text on most pages (and let me know in the comments if it's weird for you). I bought in a bunch of stuff about **exploratory testing**: a rant on [Exploration without Tools is Weak and Slow](https://www.workroom-productions.com/exploration-without-tools-is-weak-and-slow/), and updates to the piece on [Exploring without Requirements](https://www.workroom-productions.com/exploring-without-requirements/). I tuned my notes on [Exploring the BlackBox Puzzles](https://www.workroom-productions.com/exploring-the-blackbox-puzzles/) and picked up something mostly from the archives on [Why Exploration has a Place in any Strategy](https://www.workroom-productions.com/why-exploration-has-a-place-in-any-strategy/). On the side of **exercises and teaching**, I posted an imagination-based exercise [Becoming Coverage](https://www.workroom-productions.com/exercise-becoming-coverage/). I wrote [Teaching Exploratory Testing with Code](https://www.workroom-productions.com/teaching-exploratory-testing-with-code/) about the way that I do it, and ran a partly-new exercise with people from the the [Exploratory Test Academy Slack channel](https://www.exploratorytestingacademy.com/). If you'd like me to run one here for subscribers, I'd love to. [Tell me when works for you](https://www.workroom-productions.com/run-exploring-with-bulk-data/). I put up two parts of my upcoming **[EuroSTAR Tutorial on Questions](https://conference.eurostarsoftwaretesting.com/event/2022/questions-questions/)**: [Changing the Question Word](https://www.workroom-productions.com/question-transformation-1-changing-the-question-word/) and [Questions about Metrics](https://www.workroom-productions.com/questions-about-metrics/). There's more to come on this, and I'll run the workshop in [several short chunks during May](https://www.workroom-productions.com/run-questions-questions/). This trial run is free for all; [sign up to come along](https://www.workroom-productions.com/run-questions-questions/). I also added stuff about **peer conferences**; lovely, safe [](https://www.workroom-productions.com/acid-test/)[LEWT](https://www.workroom-productions.com/lewt-the-london-exploratory-workshop-in-testing/) (which I set up and ran) and brutish, scary [Acid Test](https://www.workroom-productions.com/acid-test/) (which I may run one day). April has been hectic: I'm three weeks into a long-for-me job; three days a week at a great big institution, for three months, doing something I can't talk about at a place I can't name. That work, and this, had to fit around the kids' Easter break, which included plenty of travel and an all-too-brief return to the [London Bulgarian Choir](https://londonbulgarianchoir.bandcamp.com) for a packed-solid gig in Falmouth. To celebrate that, and more, I'm indulging myself with this photo, from that gig, of my favourite non-lanyard on-stage role... **Finally: [Support the people of Ukraine with something more than CSS.](https://www.workroom-productions.com/supporting-ukraine/)** Cheers – James ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/7e/30/7e30843b-2abb-494a-ab80-0e931d8ae9a9/content/images/2022/04/77d29f8e-739d-4ef2-babc-12a48a6b996c.JPG)
