I like the all aluminium versions of the tuxedo books www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Linux-Har...

Not a fan of the part alu ones (but that's not about tuxedo computers, it's about all laptops!

A brand-new series of 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown starts tonight, starring Bob Mortimer (which is probably all you need to know). Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

9pm on C4.

A bright green book entitled Earthlings by Sayaka Murata.

Just finished the exceedingly strange (and excellent) Earthlings by Sayaka Murata. I previously read Life Ceremonies and Convenience Store Woman, and this one was a step up the scale, also hits much harder than the others.

Of course I've also ordered the newest book by Murata, Vanishing World.

The garden was delighted, even if I was not

Lately, any time I'm reading a book and someone makes tea, especially if they are making it for someone else, I get an overwhelming urge to have a tea

...There's so much grief from that time just lurking waiting to consume me, and this book, this wonderful and painful book brought it all to the fore.

I'm going to be fine, at least in the morning.

I've just finished reading a book (More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop) which really spoke to me at a deep level.

Somehow it managed to bring the grief of losing my mum back in absolute full force, in a way I haven't felt since the night she died. I felt like grief was back to consume me...

It's Monday again and today I'm back to reading Cursed in the Lost City by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch

What book(s) are you reading this week?

2 books, More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa and, The Chieko Poems by Takamura Kōtarō

Reading More Days and the Morisaki Bookshop, the sequel to one of the most cosy books, and inspired by one of the characters descriptions of it also The Chieko Poems

What's with the terrible gaudy colour schemes on many of the ai products. I've had MS copilot enabled on me this week, and Google pushed Gemini out to my phone replacing the old assistant, it's all so horrendously gaudy, how about tone the colours down a bit, or are you trying to hypnotoad us

Some credit though, they managed to publish the Roku app to be available in the UK this year, and it's significantly better then the Android TV and Sky Q apps for it

Sigh, time to pay for the awful DAZN service again means seeing their false advertising that you can watch 2 streams in 1 location. No DAZN, not 1 location if you use IPv6, since they actually mean from a single IP address. Other providers have sane limits for ipv6 (like from a /64 block).

The world is richer for it too. Happy ideaaversary! And thanks for a consistently amazing podcast

Had a regularly scheduled eye test today. Good news, they are still eyes. Bad news, I'm starting to go long sighted as well as short sighted. Good news, the optometrist said as long as I've got enough arm to hold the books far enough away I don't need varifocals 🤣

Love my local opticians! ❤️

Thanks man, and go bills!

...This is a role change of opportunity rather than need, a chance to work with a good sized Kubernetes installation (a first for me) in an amazing team and on something for the public good. I'm really excited, but I would go back to, and recommend Pay in a heartbeat

My final day in my role as Senior SRE and infrastructure tech lead was on Friday, it's an amazing team and I was genuinely emotional leaving. I still remain at GDS, but moving to Senior SRE on the GOV.UK Platform Engineering team...

Every visit to the local libraries is a delight.

I'm especially overjoyed today that when I walked in the librarian immediately said "Oh we have a reservation for you"

I love that they just knew who I was and they had a reservation for me and grabbed it from some big shelves full of reservations.

My occasional reminder that you can configure Bluesky to make you enter alt text when posting an image.

Please bear in mind that without alt text blind users have no idea what's in the photo and this is particularly frustrating when the photo is actually just text that could have been in the post.

...on Monday I go back from deep knowledge of everything around me to knowing nothing, even moving to a tech stack I haven't used before. That's both scary and incredibly exciting

It hadn't hit me that I change jobs on Monday, but my absolutely lovely colleagues gave me a farewell thing today, so many really lovely messages from some of the best people (which brought tears to my eyes), and it's really suddenly hit......

My dad was blinded by measles as a baby.

Please get vaccinated if you aren't already.

@daggersmctimbers.bsky.social you and Chris like horror movies right? Definitely one to check out (it's on prime at the moment)

Just watched The Heretic, I thought it was blooming brilliant. Highly recommend it for anyone that likes psychological horror movies.

Unusual entry I expect but for me it's Plasma Sword (g.co/kgs/aS1HoJn) on the Dreamcast. Me and a close friend played this to hell on our lunch breaks at work. I got to know this better than any other fighter for sure

So sorry to hear that, much love

There's been a great disturbance in the force.

Jira has moved the drop down to transition the state of a story.

The plans for the death star can't go into 'sent' if you can't find the drop down to change the status from 'open planetary shield' after you've fought Krennic on the Comms tower.
