Cloudflare outage hits major web services including X, LinkedIn and Zoom – business live Cloudflare reports it is investigating issues with Cloudflare Dashboard and related APIs

I see Cloudflare has fallen over again, taking out large sections of the internet with it. Again.

Unfortunately, I fear my plans to stand in a wet field in Barnes with my dad to watch London Welsh away at Barnes tomorrow are off the table, alas.

It would likely be a wet field even if it isn't raining the ground is on the edge of the London Wetland Centre.

illness update: No longer feeling like absolute death. May try to make some headway into all the emails people have been sending me - mostly about Black Hat Europe next week. (Assuming I am cleared to re-enter society...)

imagine, right, you're applying for a UK visa. our wages suck, bills are high, layoffs are ten a penny, & you find out you're down up to Β£20k minimum right from the off, alongside thousands and thousands in visa fees. who would find that remotely appealing? this is how you collapse entire industries

I'm very much here for Welsh rugby x TF2 crossover content.

Went on a school trip to the US when I was 17. Boston was covered in snow. Absolutely blew my mind.

The cat has come to loaf upon me and vibrate. Not sure if this means getting better or death imminent.

Final Fantasy VII scene of Aerith saying "This guy are sick" because of a translation issue all the way back in 1997.

Also, the scene is placed on the background of a popular meme format from 2000s. THIS GUY: He are sick.

As was the style at the time...

Positioning yourself in such a way that many of the most well-known wrestlers in the UK probably wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot pole is certainly a bold strategy.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but isn't this the promotion that has described itself as proudly anti-woke? (Very edgy, yes)

Some friends and I are going to the Dutch GP next year and the whole weekend away including travel and accommodation isn't much more than one (1) day at Silverstone.

Even if I did have the energy to leave the house, bringing a virus to a cybersecurity conference would definitely be frowned upon. (And rightly so)

Homer Simpson who is a very, very pale white due to being ill. 

Fortunately, my illness isn't from eating a huge sandwich. Probably. But I feel worse then when I did when I had covid.

Two solumn looking men on a building site after six cinders blocks were stolen:

"There'll be no hospital then. I'll tell the children."

Obviously this is from The Simpsons.

How I feel after sending all the cancellation emails for meetings and, urgh, writing commissions I had for this event. (Also guilty, extremely guilty...)

Watching Father Ted’s a Christmassy Ted and remembered this nugget of pop trivia, the priest with the most boring voice Father Fitzgerald (Sean Barrett) in Ireland's largest lingeree section was the cover star of The Smith's single "How Soon is Now" a still from the 1958 film "Dunkirk".

Ventured on to twitter briefly. Had no idea how widespread the "Mann gouged Eben first" delusion was.

At least people are just depressed here and not mad conspiracy theorists.
