It's nice when you spend 6 months building a thing and then you start wondering if actually it was premature and maybe it's not needed and then the literal next day your planet size customer asks "would you happen to have a thing that looks exactly like the thing you've just spent 6 months building"
Quite a lot of cow negotiation on this morning's run, including this belty who was busy reading a Laurie Lee poem in front of the gate I needed to go through
No lies detected. I am a temple of thought where color, science, and cosmology converge. graduate.rice.edu/news/current...
Four years. Amazing what grows if you just hit everything with a crowbar.
Get an e-bike so you can ride over the hills to the next village and do The Weird Machine Pilates and then ride home with this view
The weather in Pewsey this weekend is suddenly looking absolutely phenomenal for those that like crop circles etc
Finished reading the Lord of the Rings books yesterday for the first time. This Tolkein guy is quite good it turns out, keep an eye on that name. Ran to one of the highest points in Gloucestershire this morning, extremely middle earth vibes.
I can't read the name Joseph Pilates without thinking it's a joke name like Brian Karate or Sarah Physiotherapy
Slowly building back running distance means I get to see places I haven't been to for almost 2 years. Been looking forward to doing this route again for a long time
The only day of the year I look forward to getting up at 4:30am. Walk up the hill, find the 8ft suave pig and the fiddle player; a wee pagan jig until the sun comes up, oh look the pub is open.
Just a friendly otter in the sunshine doing laps in the canal on this morning's run, totally fine, didn't lose my shit at all
Sometimes 'techno fascism' is a bit hard to tie down exactly but Palantir have just fully come out said "We are fascists. We like fascism. We are building technology to do a fascism".
I, a 40 year old person, have passed my driving theory test. Will be going to lazer quest and bowling to celebrate later. Ask your dad if he can drive us
I get a surprising amount of satisfaction from creating (extremely sick) architecture diagrams. It's the kind of technical drawing I wanted to do as a kid but I didn't hear the term "distributed systems" until after I'd started (and quit) an actual physical Architecture degree.
I have made a complicated spreadsheet with lots of colours which means long distance running must be happening again
I am slowly building a running habit again, which means more time by the canal at surprisingly early times of the day. Had a short race with a Herron this morning which I did not win
@monkchips.com as per your suggestion/stern request, I have paid real money to replace the Portland copy. Looking forward to it
It's nice when the tech conference is actually a people conference
@toni.bsky.team Hi Toni, apologies for the direct approach but I'm sort of out of options. I raised a bug *15 months ago* that prevents me from unfollowing people. It's quite a fundamental feature of bsky to choose who you follow - but I can't. The bug was acknowledged but nothing has been done.
Picking up a side project I have been building on-and-off for 12 years. Looking at the commit history, it's always this time of year when I decide to delve into it again. I even appear to have made the *exact* same commit almost precisely 3 years apart. Definitely going to finish it this time eh?
