I was just lamenting to myself that I’ve done nothing useful this afternoon while I had a few hours to myself, then remembered I cleaned the kitchen and did some laundry before sinking into the sofa, so well done me.
The problem with self hosting things is that when they break I don’t get to just shrug and assume it’ll magically fix itself in a bit. Thankfully it’s just my RSS reader so it can wait.
I just said Heat to my TV because I wanted to watch it. It informed me it’s 21c at the moment.
Thank you Poe, Quora’s LLM, for providing me details of the Air Force One escape pod, alongside many Quora posts about Air Force One not having an escape pod. (Why yes, I have just watched Air Force One)
I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this, and I’m not convinced the moderators were wrong. If the video featured two people you liked would you still be campaigning that it should be allowed to stay?

Thank you to YouTube for curing me of my idly watching YouTube addiction. I watched a few cooking videos and now my recommendations are almost entirely along the lines of JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, WHY DO YOU CUT ONIONS LIKE THAT? GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY KITCHEN.
periodic reminder that Barcelona has a supercomputer inside an old church and it's one of the most rad things you can see
You know what would be a good use of all this ML driven analysis of videos YouTube are doing? Penalising any video in which the person on screen uses the phrase “like and subscribe” or similar. I’m so bored of being told to hit that notification bell, I do not, ever, want a push notification because someone posted a video on YouTube.
I just watched Children of Men for the first time in a decade. Please send pictures of kittens to help me recover.
I’m in a recently refitted bowling alley and I think it’s about 80% RGB LED strip by volume.
@tommorris @skylar the one time I’ve ever full on yelled at a colleague was when my employer’s CTO suggested in a meeting about an outage caused by someone being asked to ship “urgent” code at the weekend for a demo “maybe they should just not make bugs”. (He was the ex-CTO within 6 months, so there’s a happy ending there)
Watching Jason Bourne, mostly out of a sense of completionism after watching the rest of the series this week rather than with any expectation of it being good. If you’d like to know how bad their impression of hacking is someone just said “use SQL to hack their database”.
@tommorris @jackeric I really wish this weren’t so real. Reminds me of being young and naive at a marketing agency and wanting to properly architect a Facebook app for a well known nappy company.
My boss took me to one side and said “it’s fine; we all know nobody’s actually going to use this thing other than the person who’s buying it”. He wasn’t wrong.
Every marketing email you’ll receive today:
Roses are red, violets are blue. Fuck it. That’ll do.
Latest on the list of overly needy companies is South Western Railway, who’ve taken to asking me to do a *15 minute* survey every time I look in the direction of a train.
@andrew I’ve been watching your van videos and finding them really interesting. I have no intention of building a campervan but it scratches my itch to know how everything ever is done.
Also, it’s slightly odd seeing you without a radio and a look of low level panic on your face.
I regret taking the advice of the great poets Disturbed and getting down with the sickness. It’s nowhere near as cool as they make it sound.
My brother and I have just replaced degrees of Kevin Bacon with hops to the bridge a USS Enterprise. It’s surprisingly quick for most actors.
Putting speakers on phones was a mistake and when I’m elected Benevolent Dictator of the World I will outlaw them. I will also require a headphone jack in their place though, I’m not a monster.
