It's another #weeknote tomcw.xyz/weeknote/wee...

Decided to actually map where I've been cold/open water dipping this year (and therefore give me an excuse to some some updates on Map My Patch!) www.mapmypatch.co.uk/survey/29OGT...

November dip ✅ Touch chilly but bloody look at it. Loch Venachar

Start the day as you mean to go on. Umm, cold, with wet feet, avoiding Christmas songs? 💯

Modes of Problem solving docs.google.com/presentation...

tomcw.xyz/weeknote/wee... Modes of problem solving, the great unsettling, a bit of crap situation, rants about microsoft, some interesting things.

Ah, memories of font. Must go back next year.

Pitched 😊

What about Oracle? "Far, far below the deepest delving of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. " We shall not name them. But we shall continue to pay them, for eternity.

Instead of all these evals on AI productivity in the public sector I want evals on how simple Microsoft stuff kills productivity. Like the inability to move something from one place to another. "Ah yes there is a work around..." "It's recreating it in the other place isn't it?" "😉"

Homemade potato waffles with eggs, cheese and chives 👌

Maybe I could pizza AND coffee if I give it all up work wise? And long walks in the mountains. Wait, this sounds increasingly like a lonely hearts ad. Just look at the coffee, it's not shit yeah?

Autumn in the forest

Pizza, muffins and bake off... Muffins need work, first time. Pizza, well, it is my fall back plan for work 👌

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

No, you were gargling whiskey at 2am because it was the only thing you could think of or find to sooth your throat full of razor blades

Mushroom season in the forest. Some for dinner, some for party, some for umm death? Choose your own adventure

It's a note about a week tomcw.xyz/weeknote/wee...

You know that thing where instead of test you the word tw*t and send it? Oh, you've never done this? Umm, no, me either...

A classic of the genre

Ah, yes, so this is a much more eloquently put and researched way of putting it. My very simple version is "Stop pandering to the right, you'll never appease f*cking fascists" www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...

I know what you are thinking, all 3 of you...where have your weeknotes gone Tom? Well fear not, this has actually been a week when I vaguely know what day it is. And so, I present to you, a weeknote tomcw.xyz/weeknote/wee...

You know they say practice makes perfect? Well I reckon I've done my daughter's hair like 3000 odd times and it's still meh Thankfully she's not bothered and it's very forgiving of my shit abilities Maybe I'll nail it just in time for her to never ask me again.

Ok look, I've just made a sardines and chilli flaked pizza for lunch and I don't know where I've just gone too far

Just named chatgpt "the giant bullshit machine" and I feel my work here is done.

When I give it up, will you buy my pizza (and toasties obvs)?

Ok, finally switching my business account from g suite to proton. What video call tool do people use? No, I will not be using zoom

I love making pizza because it's so simple Flour, yeast, water, salt and toppings And yet there's so much you can play with. Part science, part vibe, like all the best things. The unachievable goal of perfection and every failure is a slice of joyful learning.

Got a bit of a bum ankle so I decided to take a rest week from running. Also me: hiked 55km

Child free weekend. Hmm, what should we do? Something relaxing and chilled... Me: Cool, how about a 6 hr hike and some via ferrata?

Cough. Once again... You will never appease right wing fascists, you just normalise talk like this by doing so.

About 5 years ago i saw a social media post about a food truck in a boat that served lobster rolls. 5 years later, I'm finally here Worth the wait.

That was the river, this is the sea

There's a realistic chance we get to a position where Wikipedia is blocked while official government accounts are posting on a site that created MechaHitler AI

Foraging haul out the back of the garden

It's bake time Or more accurately it was bale time and now it's eat time

Apparently another technogarch kleptocrat has said that he "wants to turn AI into a cosmic religion," to which I again say, "'*Wants* to'?"
