QOTD, what was the first racing game you ever played? Probably the same, this, in glorious green screen on the Amstrad 464

Jack's Smirking Revenge - Two Polar Bears fighting at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. A group of school kids clearly not aware of the rules marched past shouting “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” #photography #canonuk #wildlifeuk

One of the OG #weirdcarbluesky quite literally landing today....

QOTD: Post a rain car from your camera roll.

But it won’t beat me at kick boxing

So much this. I don’t want an app for every blooming web page. It’s called a browser. I don’t even want an app for every reward card they’re all in AnycodeWallet. The meerkat site annoyed this year because I had to install an app to claim a voucher which previously you just did via the website

Glad I had the dashcam yesterday, but I'm still head scratching today, I think more research is required @joehallenbeck.bsky.social can a Volvo fly if you bolt the wings on?...

After the last batch of heat, read all the reviews, bought one of those new smart circulating fans. Yes it’s clever, yes it’s quieter till it’s on max speeds. But, whilst its one of the better ones for airflow at 938m3/hr, the basic Philips 2000 we bought last year does 2562m3/hr and it bloody shows

A similar joke always goes through my head to the “Heavy Plant Crossing” signs

The anodised MacBooks are great and all that, but if you put stickers on them sometimes the sticker fades areas of the anodisation Fitting a replacement screen and removing the plethora of stickers the previous owner stuck on, of all the ones to fade the anodisation….

Fab run out to the coast today before the bank holiday rush. On the way back went along a freshly chipped road, several miles later, middle of nowhere stopped at a junction and it turns out a stone drops into the brake guard. This could have been an utter ****er as the car doesn’t have a jack etc

So we're now giving money to Ukraine to protect them, and money to Russia to bomb them. Slow hand clap Labour, slow hand clap... cc @tobyperkinsmp.bsky.social

To be fair, all the tracking you everywhere around the internet means I’ve long swapped to a different search engine. Google has just been sub optimal for a good few years now

Post something from your camera roll that comes up when you search yellow car. And following up from earlier discussions of some quarters being dismissive of older cameras. Shot on the Canon D30 (yes D first) with its whopping 3mp, 3 focus points & 11 shot buffer (in jpeg)

It’s morbid stuff, but a bunch of these things you don’t legally have access too if a partner dies without previously granting access. There’s also an emergency file in case one of us is struck down tomorrow the other is aware of what utilities/contracts etc we need to manage.

As Gail says, I’ve been in this position a while, and the NI status is a particular cluster****

I’d forgotten about this. Put a new series on tonight, saw the opening shot of the Passat. Damn you to hell @joehallenbeck.bsky.social I recognise this car, now I’m just watching the bloody car

I’m glad I moved my sites away from recaptcha a while ago A) it was utterly crap to the end user B) it didn’t stop actually stop the bots C) shitty behaviour like this from Google

The worst era is the software you bought in a box, you think you still own it, the activation servers have been turned off! I've still got a box of boxes I can't face throwing away because I own them, and feel they could be useful, and yet at the same time I know nobody can do utterly nothing with

So much this I did for a while just use “[email protected]” to get past the sites that wouldn’t tell you postage up front but you soon stop bothering as soon work out it isn’t worth it. Just let me buy stuff, be upfront on prices or we’ll go elsewhere

Passing the local funfair at the weekend, you could hear they will still regularly banging out songs from the 70s and 80s, which is rather shocking when you think about it. It would have been like them playing Glen Miller after shouting “scream if you want to go faster” when we went in the 80s…

Drop your favorite Star Wars character. Wrong answers only.

Super Copter/Cobra Played many many many hours of this

Post your warning sign So, a customer phoned recently, how’s things? Oh ok but my house fell into the sea. Oh **** Further along, do you do websites? No not really. I just need a static site Oh I can do that, here I’ll show you one I’ve got Oh **** sorry just remembered the background image…

Post a random cool car photo you took on another year, with no explanation. Filling up last year

Not just bluesky, 2FA everything (even better passkeys but Bluesky isn’t there yet). Unique passwords, use iCloud keychain, 1Password etc to remember everything so you don’t have to

This has long been my argument to customers. You've moving your internet traffic away from a UK regulated ISP, to god knows who, and paying them extra money for the privilege, and 80% of the benefits they promote are BS anyway.

Cheeky ****s, customer emailed, have you got a password for this domain company? No. Taken a bit of a looking over, this company registered the .co.uk version of their .com domain yesterday, and sent a chancer invoice for £107 for 2 years! (they're £8pa usually) Wonder how many will just pay...

Where was that thread the other day that 20%+ believed they could race an F1 car, here's reality biting for some at a fraction of those speeds...

Another garden project done. Our old fence was, well knackered to be fair, and this winter finally did for it. New wood ordered, new posts in (never doing that again), and new wood up. Just a shame in the main we can’t actually see it, this is neighbours side

Ah balls, I forgot the odo will tick over 95,000 today with a few miles, and now its in the hands of the mechanic, so no photo for that one. So now it's international crash the MoT history website & see how close to 95,000 its tested on... Hang on, WTF, a recall? Also it's tested already & YAY!!!

When in the north, stock up on northern things

Today was one of those days the smartphone earns its keep. Forecast was wall to wall sunshine but woke up to fog, plan was to head to Hornsea abort? checks webcam, it’s foggy, checks withernsea just down the coast, sun just breaking through, let’s go for it, checked cams as left m62, withernsea then

Bit of a panic, picked my old Canon 15mm fisheye up this week and the focus ring has turned sticky in the way 00’s plastics do. Not being @behindthebluemotel.com I didn’t want to strip it down, but thankfully for now cleaning it with some isopropyl has 🤞🏻rescued it

So much this at the moment. Currently every SSD quote starts with sorry these buggers have tripled in the last 3 months. Ordered a NAS drive last week, email yesterday “it’s delayed” ok I’ll order elsewhere, they’re just out of stock, oh and double the money too
