I made my first million selling horse manure, which is not to be sniffed at.

First mow of the year done.

Found a chorizo sausage in the fridge and ate it. Now I'm feeling a bit queasy. I dunno if you're meant to cook it first. 🧐

My new favourite thing is Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire. It is also my nemesis. 😐

Last shout really - anyone in need of a bare Synology DS223 before I off it to CEX or somewhere? www.synology.com/en-uk/produc...

I've lived near here for 16 years and they've never issued any warnings like this until today. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Back at Townsend today to sign the last of the heavyweight 200gm black vinyl 'Mansun Retold'. These are a limited run of 250, signed and numbered, so when they're gone they're gone! Available only from the Paul Draper Official Store: pauldraper.tmstor.es/product/mans...

Just had a flypast from an RAF KC2 Voyager. Wonder where that's off to? 🤔

Why TF is Peter Crouch in about a bazillion TV ads for different stuff these days? 🧐 Seen him in an ad for Ariel washing powder, some cheap Chinese car company as well as a plumbing firm recently. Is he just a sellout these days?

Why you idiots still paying for eggs? Those "range eggs" are just the same, and they're FREE! 👌 #LunchPun

I hate Donald Trump, I hate him so bad I hope he gets his knob caught in his zip. 🤬

New Ugreen NAS is up and running. Bloody breath of fresh air compared to the constraints of Synology. A couple of teething problems but all sorted now, and it's currently doing an initial backup to an external 4TB HDD. I might lob in a smallish NVMe SSD for data cacheing. Quite impressed so far. 👌

When somebody's talking to me but I've stopped listening and they're still talking... 😐

"Rapper GETS jailed", idiots! 🙃 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It finished at 6:30am this morning. Almost 13 hours. 😬

Took the boys for a walk around Bolingbroke Castle, birthplace of Henry IV.

Blood moon Harvest moon Wolf moon Snow moon Strawberry moon Blue moon And apparently now there's a worm moon. And people take pictures of it, apparently oblivious to the fact that there is actually only one effing moon. 🙃 www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Pissed as a fart, watching Kenny Everett on the telly. 👌

Tell me your dog is spoilt without saying your dog is spoilt. ❤️

New NAS arrived today. Currently doing a backup of the old Synology one to an external 4TB USB drive. I think it's going to be an all-nighter.

Soooo the replacement laptop battery I installed late last year. Just tried to switch the laptop on without it being on mains power - nothing. Weird. Plugged it in, switched on all fine, 97% battery! 🤔 Unplugged it, poof - gone! Battery has charge, but isn't delivering it to the laptop.

News today: almost 1 million young people are now unemployed. What's going on?! Also the news today: company claims it can replace ALL of its staff with AI. 🧐

Feeling a tad uneasy living within throwing distance of an RAF base today. 😬

Petrol stations when oil prices rise: yeah the price has gone up today cos of the Iran war that started yesterday. When oil prices fall: nah we can't just cut prices on day 1 it takes months to filter down to us. 🤔

Where the fuck have all the music channels gone off Sky? It was bad enough losing Scuzz and Kerrang, then most of the MTV ones went, leaving about ten. This morning, there are only five left. Yet the monthly subscription keeps going up. 🤬

That US plane dropping out of the sky in Kuwait does not look like any "friendly fire" incident I've ever seen.

Claudia Winkelman's hair looks like Dougal off The Magic Roundabout.

BABY SNELL TWINS!! This adult rabbit snail has had two babies today! 😍

Decided to ditch my Synology NAS and swap to a Ugreen DXP2800. Looks a much more flexible system, not tied to Synology software/hardware, runs faster, and can take a couple of NVMe SSDs as well as my two 4TB WD HDDs. Could even install TrueNAS if I wanted to, and it's expandable up to 76TB. 👌

Cake day drinks. No cake, tho.

Does anyone #gamedev #indiedev understand Synology's Container Manager? I tried to install MantisBT (bug tracker) via that (as is the only way now). I have the MantisBT image to use but then it just comes up with a shit-ton of options about ports and networky stuff I know ZERO about.

TFI Friday!

Random thought: Do non-binary people skip their 10th birthday? 🤔

If I saw that smug-ass guy off the Trivago ad stranded onboard a sinking boat and I was the only one who could save him, to be honest I wouldn't bother.

Just leaving this here. #votegreen

Who the fuck has decided sanitary towels must now be advertised by repeated use of the word "gush"? 🤢

Weather's gone again. 😞

I bet they end up at the wrong address and three days late.

There's some dude on YouTube that does Unity tutorials and he calls himself Codemonkey but I swear to god it's really Kermit the frog. 😬

Finally got my DHL parcel that they've had hold of since last Wednesday. What a set of lazy, useless twunts. 🙄

Bloody lovely outside today! 👌 Downside, I've had to start doing all the shitty jobs I don't like doing like washing the car and garden stuff. 🤷

I've been chewing this over for months now. I planned to do a 100% rewrite of this but there's a good, solid basis here. With that in mind, I think I'm just going to rip out the bits that don't work optimally, and redo that. Things like enemy controllers, UI, etc.

Who here remembers Challenge of the Gobots? It was basically Transformers for poor people. You've got Leader 1 where Optimus Prime would be, and Renegades/CyKill instead of the Decepticons/Megatron. It was a bit shit, as I remember. I think Tony Crowther made a game of it? 🤔

Fun sized mars bars. Why are they more fun than normal sized mars bars? 🤔

This fecking wagon. Can't seem to stay on the bastard. 😐

People who only talk to you when they want sommat... 🤬

Rustled up a slightly customised chicken goulash for dinner. Fresh chicken, potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, caraway seeds, chorizo, chopped tomatoes, mushrooms with a side of wild rice. Only trouble is I've slightly overestimated the quantity and I've got enough left over for at least tomorrow. 🤷

4-man bobsleigh is on. #TeamGB are in it. Yet the BBC opts to NOT show it, instead, focusing on two blokes sitting in a cupboard talking about how they get to high-five snowboarders when they're not commentating on it. #Olympics BBC coverage has been absolute bollocks. Again. 👎

What's so special about "thin air" that makes it so easy for things to vanish into? 🤔
