Feel like Grapple Dog 1 is gaining more of an audience as it gets included in bundles and goes on deeper sale. Keep seeing people finding it for the first time. What's weird is there's a lot of folks going 'this game has issues!' and I agree I fixed them in the sequel that is also out.

A large number of puffins on a rocky outcrop. Two are walking near to the camera, one looking directly at the camera.

PSA - Our Farne Islands puffin webcam is livestreaming from dawn until dusk, every day during the 2025 breeding season.

It's surprisingly addictive and quite relaxing to watch: buff.ly/9ATC3Xy

It only seems like 5 minutes ago that we were saving work on floppy disks, and now computers don’t even have CD drives anymore! A big part of #DigitalPreservation is transferring data from obsolete storage so it can still be accessed in the future.

For Valentine’s Day, three-year old True Love in the Bedworth Workhouse, Foleshill, Warwickshire, in 1851, with her mother Mary. True became a silk/ribbon weaver like her mother. Sweet and sad but maybe hopeful - she went on to marry and have children. She died in 1906.

Sacking of the Archivist of the United States as confirmed on LinkedIn. It’s an essential part of our democracy that archives are not controlled by politicians, but this certainly looks like political control.
