For thousands of years, a solar eclipse has been a prophetic harbinger of a spectacular, epoch-making event. Just saying. #VoteBinface #Clacton

I still think LDIR is pretty cool. Happy Birthday, Z80!

Who else learned the word "peripheral" not from school, but from the back pages of Sinclair User? And who else then used it incorrectly in an English essay?

There's a generation of British adults who can still recite LOAD "" from muscle memory but cannot remember their current Wi-Fi password.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I just completed "Movie Theater" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/9 Needed a *lot* of help to get there and I'm using the dumbest inside/outside test possible. Just a relief to grind my way to the end if I'm honest.

I just completed "Playground" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/8 Another day where I needed help to understand the *question* but the answer was All My Own Work. Part 2 hampered by my poor termination conditions but a quick rework this morning sorted it.

I just completed "Laboratories" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/7 Part 2's Combinatorial Trap avoided with the ugliest "just ignore all the wrong numbers and give me the biggest as my final answer" for part 2. Code's quick, just stupid ;-)

I just completed "Trash Compactor" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/6 Catching up after a weekend break. Not a maths problem, a parsing problem. And then an extended index-counting session. More lessons in examining ALL the data before starting!

I just completed "Cafeteria" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/5 YES! Correct optimisation to solve Part1 makes Part2 trivial to complete. Sometimes a bit of experience helps a lot (i.e. "I've done this before, I bet I can guess what's coming next")

Did the Visualisation thing. Starts great, ends up a bit dull if we're honest www.guided-naafi.org/aoc/2025/12/...

I just completed "Printing Department" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/4 Grow the border, count the values. Then turn it into an iteration. That was a really fun game, I need to go back and do a visualisation!

I just completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/3 Part 2 turned into "revenge of the off-by-one error" but isn't that always the case with array indexing? Fun.

I just completed "Gift Shop" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/2 I am a dirty, dirty programmer who thinks Strings are the Thing and who doesn't even use Python properly to generate them. But I got the result....

I just completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 (it was my lunch break, boss, honest!. I take very late lunches. And how else am I supposed to stay ahead of my boy?)

There is so, so much right about Deutsch Bahn's service, from the excellent seats, the superb online service and the whole get-a-beer-delivered-to-your-seat (complete with a glass to pour into!). If only they could just make the trains, you know, *run on time*.....
