St Helens #parkrun as I was feeling very lazy today so attended my local one I wanted to get close to my PB and I did - was 10 seconds off. Probably would have done so if I hadn't walked at times. But I am happy with my performance today. Got my fastest mile.

I misread this on 4 The Cause Wikipedia page as "banned in Germany" and honestly I wouldn't have blamed our lederhosen wearing brethren #totp

Are there more people on the stage than watching from the crowd? #totp

Ah. Rollercoaster. If you were comparing B*Witched number 1's to the first four Indiana Jones movies, this would be the Temple of Doom #totp

I mean, Steps and Sarah MacLachlan aside this has been pretty much the music I listened to when I was 14. And yes that includes Fastball #totp

Fucking hell Fastball! Not heard this song in decades! Loved it at the time #totp

These patriotic displays have gone a bit too far now, if you ask me.

New Thoughts on funding open source, based on a The New Stack article I saw do the rounds yesterday... #opensource

Build your own website, @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social says. I agree! It’s been great making my own hub that I control that exists how I want it, and you can too also! aftermath.site/website-musk...

NOT NOW GENETICALLY ANALYSED HITLER

I can 100% assure you I'm not, Tesco.

This is joyful (though I did join a cricket club and absolutely can't bowl). Can see off a new bowl and rarely give my wicket away cheaply, mind.

It's an expensive time of the year, with car & home insurance, gas, electricity and (this year) a mortgage are up for renewal. ALL of them are cheaper with the current provider. What gives?!? Rudely making my life easier.

In Lisbon this weekend and turns out Web Summit is here this weekend too. So I reckons at least one person who follows me is here for the conference?

James Watson eh? Only the good die young.

NEW POST: I - along with folks from @theretroasylum.bsky.social - went to @retrocollective.co.uk a few weeks back. Here's some photos from the day. #retrogaming www.rhyswynne.co.uk/50-before-im...

Given that folks have said that AI is killing coding as a career, and WordPress is a dead platform, this feels like something to celebrate 🎉.

Definitely had this cover disk as I had Revenge of the Mutant Camels. Was classic Jeff Minter OTT nonsense. Superb.

SEO Question - GSC Question: If you "Validate a fix" but the page remains broken (but different), does it validate it for the original fix and then report it unfixed, or remain in the unfixed state for the original?

SEO-mashing it lads

Somebody played Transport Tycoon as a kid....

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

Tried watching the Liverpool Vs Real Madrid match on the Prime Vision and really couldn't. It is like watching a football match on Google Analytics 4.

STOS games had a look about them. Really wish I would have learned it at some point. I guess I could go back to it at some point.

I wonder how much builders knocking on saying "We've just done a job down with one of your neighbours..." actually works? Probably never. Why do they do it?

I'm not saying I'm way behind on my Test Match Special podcast listenings but the last podcast I listened to has Dickie Bird on it...

Great question on Who Wants to be a Millionaire tonight

Penrhyn Parkrun today. Stunning scenery through castle grounds. 20th Parkrun and managed to break 35 minutes which is my goal. Also my Dad's first parkrun. It's his 74 birthday today #parkrun

Relevant to @simoncox.com interests, this is outside my brother's AirBnb

I've a quiet morning in-between projects before a kick off* meeting with a new client at midday. I really should use it to get ahead of myself. But I'll probably be playing the Pacman Google Doodle. * hat tip to @mrdanielsir.bsky.social. Only he & @mxfee.bsky.social knows 😀

I have had some lovely suggestions but I'd love some MOOOORE (before this place becomes a hailstorm of #celebritytraitors)

This made me guffaw and I almost fell off the couch 🤣

It'd be really funny to join local Facebook groups in the bit in the middle of Britain and tell them all to be more scared of little green men over small boats.

“WordPress doesn’t attract the cool kids, but do you want your bank account to be cool? Or traffic light systems to be cool? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather they work. I think WordPress is in the same place.”
