Oh. Dear. Anyway, moving on

These were a real game changer. Then the Jaz came along and I couldn’t afford one 🤣

Will be in Heidelberg on Tuesday.

For lunch I have the choice between my usual (Urban Kitchen), the Irish Pub, the Mexican place (Dr Flotte), or Palmbräu Gasse. That’s too much choice for me

I’ve decided to get rid of the clocks at the house. The cat reminds me of all important times

When I need to get up because she is hungry
When she is hungry
When she is hungry
When she is hungry
When it’s time to go to bed because she’s tired

What use are clocks to me?

Cleave…

Well that’s the first time I’ve ever seen an article about the SAM Coupé in France. In fact it’s the first time I’ve seen the words. Even eBay France doesn’t know what I’m talking about

I love this. Very muchly

Jazz Suite number 2

Everything Robin Hobb writes/has written is brilliant. Love it all!

I don't have enough hands.

I need to pick up the TV, so I can put it on a monitor stand, so that my remote control can "see" the IR receiver, because the soundbar is in front of it.

And I don't have enough hands.

If anyone has any spare hands, could you please get in touch? It's kind of urgent

The first rule of pedo club. We don’t talk about pedo club

Can confirm. Incredible sound

Put AI expert on your cv….

A joke but only half. And I am in the same situation as you and it depresses me

Bought a record player. On special, paid for with heavily-subsidised by work gift cards. Came out to about €80 for me instead of 249

Nice Audio Technica entry-level-but-still-very-respected with Bluetooth output so I can play it on my soundbar.

Can’t wait to get home

My brand new gate motor, which my son and I installed allbyourselves, decided that opening was fine, but closing again was too much to ask.

My 100M$ solution, a small piece of wood to stop the gate opening quite so far

Does this mean I am now a pro?

Lemon, honey...and rum. IANAE, but the rum is the lurgy killer. Get btter quick!

The numbers mentality is killing society - everywhere

I once jumped off the top of a tall tower (as a mage), rolled 99 to successfully cast a spider web spell to catch myself….then went back into the tower and died. Not my proudest moment, but I was on a high from the 99 🤣

And yes, it did decide that two topics weren’t important enough to be included, and a third got some new attributes

Me colleague told me today that he got eh-aye to rewrite the release note for a piece of software I’m the engineering lead for. I’m not sure what the appropriate response is. A bullet? A resignation letter?

Yeah, that too

You know what the best thing about K.I.T.T is?

Buttons

Not just a stupid screen you can’t even bloody see if you are at the wrong angle to the sun. Buttons. Real ones

And switches

And LEDs

i had that tshirt (well, not that EXACT one...). Wore it threadbare

Oh I don’t know, for all their failings, some eh-aye agents must be at least as intelligent as politicians

And we know 100% that what eh-aye comes out with is bullshit, same as politicians

Google no, but you can de-eh-aye DuckDuckGo by going to noai.duckduckgo.com

Despite promising myself I wouldn't do this any more, I seem to have bought myself a Spectrum Harlequin. Very rare to see one - built - for sale in France, and I couldn't have bought a kit and built it for the price, so I'm happy with that.

Good to see I can't trust myself though

While this is true and I do, what it masks is that the devs on big AAA titles ALSO poured their hearts and souls into their games, and got royally shafted by mAnAgErS and coin pushing jerks

Back home after two weeks away. The usually fairly standoffish cat is inordinately happy to see me.

Makes going back to work tomorrow almost palatable

Yes but there’s a character limit on Bluesky posts
