We could rename them Windsor protorolls …………I’ll get my coat.

Dammit, Brendan got there first with a better suggestion!

Call 'em Windsor Rolls and everybody's happy?

The REAL scourge of antisocial behaviour is from curtain-twitchy NIMBY contrarians who can't bear the thought that other people might not be as sour and twisted as they are, and would like to enjoy their outdoor environment.

Classic NIMBY responses - very similar to why our Council refuse to restore access to our community beach in Co Antrim due to lobbying from vocal naysayers, even though >90% of local residents want it. Bench looks brilliant. #ShareOurShore

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘stop doing this to him’ Film-maker tells the public to stop sending her videos, saying: ‘You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings’

"And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line".

Vinyl is back, Psion organisers are back, hand-written diaries are back, a nice walk on the beach is back. Social media has eaten itself - it's great to be human again ;-)

Enjoyed that wee piece from Luke Sproule on Radio Ulster this morning about independent record shops & vinyl.

I highly recommend doing something like this. I've been blocked by over one hundred yanks without having to lift a finger.

I had never read Treasure Island before - just started, as I'm writing a compressed text reader for my Psion 3a. It's a brilliant book! So piratical!

The beautiful tidal beach at Greenisland Co Antrim, looking towards the Belfast hills. Residents have a Public Right of Way onto this beach, but Council have refused to remove the gate that is blocking our rightful access.

We have some real jaw-dropping evidence; we have proposed very reasonable resolutions (ignored so far). Hoping Minister @andrewmuirni.bsky.social can get @meabc.bsky.social to see sense. This could be solved *tomorrow*. #ShareOurShore

Psion Series 3a handheld computer backing up to a laptop in the background, running the 3c emulator

Backing up my old Psion Series 3a (I have several...) to my laptop using the Psion S3C Emulator, which i find gives the smoothest experience. Set baud to 19200, choose the backup folder, and off you go! Easy. Need a 3-Link cable and a serial port though...

Sunrise over Greenisland Secret Beach

Switching the #ShareTheShore hashtag to #ShareOurShore because the former appears to also be used by a naturist organisation, and down on the beach today, things would be in danger of dropping off with the cold!

A nice wee shell on the Secret Beach at Greenisland. Join Nextdoor, an app for neighbourhoods where you can get local tips, buy and sell items, and more

We're kicking this up a gear. We have solid documentary evidence that @meabc.bsky.social have (knowingly) FAILED in their *statutory* duties in relation to Public Rights of Way, and are taking this to @daera-ni.gov.uk before commencing legal action. #ShareOurShore

Ask them if they have considered Stacy's opinion on the matter, then stand back

Kemi Badenoch thinks her approach will pay off eventually

Uncanny.

my review of Brian J Walsh's book that explains Leonard Cohen songs with the Bible... and the Bible with Leonard Cohen songs... maybe my book of the year... sstockman.substack.com/p/brian-j-wa...

A rare acknowledgement too of his own imminent mortality. That is to be welcomed.

psion/pdbdoc3a at main · shanemuk/psion A place for some of my old Psion code in the hope that the clamtop tiny computer format makes a comeback - shanemuk/psion

Back in late 1990s/early 2Ks many compressed text documents were available for Palm Pilot organisers. I wrote a viewer for the Psion 5mx, but as far as I know, no-one ever did this for the Series 3a/c/mx. I've managed to reverse-hack the algorithm to fix that! github.com/shanemuk/psi...

Everyone's coming up with drag queen names, but a niche one from Strabane would be Donna Manna

Beagle on a beach

Yeah, but then you get after the storm and..

Ericsson MC218 and Psion 3mx handheld computers displaying code on screens.

Fun project - porting my "aportis doc" e-book reader app from the Ericsson MC218 to the Psion 3mx. Have to figure out how I cracked the parsing of these compressed files in the olden days. #retrocomputing #permacomputing

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

Finally we have an Archbishop of CANerbury!

If NI has the best of both worlds, what does England Scotland and Wales have? Brexit is a crock of dung and I know left and right are bored of it (lot of leftist silent on it because there are a lot of v cringe anti brexit people which is kinda pathetic and vacuous stance imo)

We didn't start the fire...

It is PRECISELY the same logic used by a councillor in Mid & East Antrim to argue that a majority of people opposed restoring our access to our beach. Claimed that a majority of those opposed are opposed. Fancy that. Kemi only wants to count Brexiters.

‘New leadership is what’s needed’: Presbyterian Church rebels call for change The moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI) should not return to his clerk position after his term ends, a group of church rebels have said.

It'll be interesting if Presbyterians return to the progressive Republican spirit of 1798 and the Enlightenment, and ditch all this fundamentalist unionist nonsense that has crept in since they ousted Montgomery... (overly simplistic view of course) www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/...

It's important to use the word "inchoate" as often as possible.
