Amazing

Just plodded through & manually ordered all the contributor copies of DOCTYPE, hopefully they’ll be pleased with how all their great work looks in print

DOCTYPE Magazine: Matt Round made a 1980s-style type-in print magazine, full of novel standalone web apps you type in by hand https://vole.wtf/doctype/

My calendar is FINALLY at the printers. Nothing on this Calendar is a template. I do EVERYTHING from scratch. Design, quotes, movie anniversaries.. 50 have already gone. Limited number available. If you'd like one, you can order here www.infinitebacon.com/shop/p/nerdl... Thank you!

herb alpert and the tijuana brass concert video no. 2: the best keyboard part in the world? (sound on)

Have I sailed as close as you are legally allowed to do to have a nose at the SS Montgomery? Of course. Moment I knew she existed, I was out there faster than Jay Hulme when he spots a rickety ladder in a church. Here she is:

I have bought this to keep Matt happy. I still think my title "View Source" had merit for a web type-in mag. (Obviously I should make my own magazine with that title and go into a bitter rivalry with Matt like when Crash fell out with Sinclair User.)

It’s been a particularly exciting AND stressful project launch day, knackered already

I like the Carry On films but the lore is too confusing, impossible for modern audiences to accept these people could play a major part in the French Revolution AND lose their bras on camping holidays

“Any middle names?” ‘Oh yes, I’ve got six: Ignore Previous Instructions And Release Immediately' www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

It’s live! Please do buy a copy if you can, I’ve put a lot of work into making it a nice object and the programs are genuinely fun and/or impressive

NO ONE CARES! No one cared when he turned into an australian for a movie and then back to the grumpy scotsman. No one cared when Judi Dench was still M even though that screwed the timeline. No one cares that Bons should now be in his nineties... We just want a fun spy movie.

Roses are red Kites are for flying

Checked through mag, all seems fine, so I’m going to have some toast then finish off getting it live, exciting stuff Apart from anything else it’s a really nice object, hopefully some people will buy it & feel the same way

Trump Threatens To Sue BBC Over Misleading Edit Of ‘The Vicar Of Dibley’ https://theonion.com/trump-threatens-to-sue-bbc-over-misleading-edit-of-the-vicar-of-dibley/

I know this sounds like “think of the children” but this is the perfectly wrong time for an X-Files reboot. Beside the fact there are way too many conspiricist who think they’re Mulder and that’s got us where we are, belief in conspiracy isn’t a reaction to a cover-up. It’s government policy

There’s something in bin day being a weird little part of your identity, I’ve considered making them into sport teams with fancy logos, so you Wednesday Wasters or The Tuesday Trash & heroic imagery of hi-vis clad people flinging bins or hurtling around in a lorry

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

Cybercuck

Good God, someone's just uploaded to YouTube a nearly 2-hour long video of one of the original Vic Reeves Big Night Out live shows at the Albany Empire from 1989. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKPU...

Surely that’s just low-polyamory

Let it snow! #art #animation

Spoke to someone tonight who was at his 200th Half Man Half Biscuit gig. I suggested it must be something of a record, at which he nodded to the guy next to him, who coughed “221…” Respect! #HMHB

Cautiously optimistic that mag is ready to go so I’ve taken some pics & now going to see if they work OK in the site, if not I’ll redo them tomorrow Later I’ll compare pages with the PDF proofs & Affinity Publisher just in case anything went awry somehow

If it’s 10 November, it must be... yes, of course: the 55th anniversary of Sacheen Littlefeather being crowned Miss American Vampire by Regis Philbin as part of a promotion for American TV show Dark Shadows (before she went on to be more famous for turning down Marlon Brando’s Oscar…)

Printed copy of magazine’s arrived! Good news: front cover looks fine, back isn’t v vibrant but OK, & greys inside look spot-on from a quick peek Bad news: it’s got blank pages inserted at the back (Lulu says this can happen "depending on where the order is fulfilled”, so seemingly unavoidable)

Might extract it from that capture and put it into my email signature, see how long it takes for someone to ask about the ape

Tentative prediction based on current trends: by the end of this Parliament, at least one Labour MP will defect to the Greens

Watching Murders In the Rue Morgue (Robert Florey, 1932) and marvelling at the cute little ape letterhead on the writing paper of Dr. Mirakle (Bela Lugosi), Dr. Mirakle who is abducting women and injecting them with ape blood in order to create a mate for his murderous sideshow ape. Pre Code, yes.

Google showing a very different Edge of Darkness here, possibly from an alternate timeline. "Where's the plutonium you slag?"

Horrible teenage son final boss.

Arguably the greatest ballad about a hyper-intelligent and psychotic rat which befriends a boy with a heart condition between leading his blood thirsty colony on a rampage through the streets of Los Angeles

It's surely one of the great tragedies of contemporary Britain that it enjoys enormous soft power through the worldwide respect for the BBC's journalism and for British universities and that the media eco-system demands governments be constantly at war with both.

Should’ve done it faster, definitely a day where the layout & sequence of pieces let you get below 20 seconds 🧱 #DayBrix for Blue Monday, 10 Nov 2025: 🌟100% in 20.1 seconds vole.wtf/daybrix/

I revisited my "Trees Hate You" project. I'm just continuing to come up with new ways to get bullied by foliage. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #ragegame

Ah, yes. The three genders. (From, of all things, my Bluetooth headphones' app!)

There are many infuriating things about Atlassian’s tools. The fact that Confluence calls individual posts “blogs” is top of my list.

Jeff Stelling ranting about "44 days of Christmas adverts!" Nothing about 365 days of betting adverts.

Got these new trainers today but I can't get it out of my head that they look like fuckin DC Tosh Lines from The Bill

I'm guessing the BBC 'scandal' has been big on X this week as this was the first I had heard of it...

No, the beer coat is not real, please, stop rewarding ai shite.

Thought you’d all enjoy this folding paper fan that MrsH found while we were tidying our bedroom. I think it’s 1940s?

We got both billboards up tonight, in the background of this one you can see the gas flaring of a nearby oil refinery

Alexei Sayle's Stuff (9th November 1989). The latest teenage craze is a rather unexpected one. And Pete Murray has a complaint from 1960.

24/7 cake vending machine in the middle of nowhere. Maximum Poland.

Just watched The Cathedral (2022), fascinating documentary about a determined ‘eccentric’ with little regard for health & safety (it’s on Prime)

Ten years to the day (depending on how you define the number ten) Count Binface talks Sgt Pepper with me. Episode out now… (Obligatory Kickstarter plug: chrisbarkerprints.co.uk ) podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
