I am passing through AMS on my way from BER to BHX. Nothing new about my route or KLM aircraft so here’s a random A330 instead.

KLM A321 neo - it’s running a little late but will take me from AMS to BER. This will mean I have flown on all of KLMs short haul fleet types now. 🤓

Headed to Germany tomorrow with one workshop’s worth of @pimoroni.com kit for a hands on micropython session at an internal company offsite.

We had an entitled, verbally abusive runner at Parkrun again today. Becoming pretty normal now.

Something a little different early this morning! I wasn’t on the radio but got to hang out with someone who was.

JetBlue's final E190 flight is in the air, two decades after JetBlue became the launch operator of the type in 2005. JetBlue’s Chief Operating Officer Warren Christie captained the first AND last flights. JetBlue is now, once again, an all-Airbus airline.

Canal area was looking nice on today’s #nottingham walk.

blog.adafruit.com/2025/09/07/c... CircuitPython 9.2.9 released! - Fix network crashes on Pico W; fixes regression since 9.2.5.

For no good reason, I looked at which airlines my last 20 flights have been with: KLM 6, Cathay Pacific 4, Air New Zealand 3, Air France 2, Swiss 2, Aer Lingus 2 & Loganair 1. My next 4 should all be KLM!

Dryden backstopped the NHL's most successful franchise to championships in six of his eight seasons in the league from 1970-71 to '78-79. He died after a fight with cancer.

Presented at my first meetup for Grafana today - people came, honest (this was before the start).

Went to see some art. Lakeside Arts, University of Nottingham. Last day for this exhibition.

If you were a user or admirer of NOAA’s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us. Follow @climate.us for launch updates.

Between entitled runners, condescending event/run directors and “ambassadors” Parkrun doesn’t do much to make volunteers feel valued. Hard to justify doing it as the mornings will get colder, darker, wetter based on my last few weeks experiences.

I'm making an e-paper virtual pet/handheld that teaches you languages (prototype shown)

Oh come on @github.com surely you can support webp images in issues, PRs etc by this point?????

Submerged in 40 meters of water off Scotland's coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides for electricity — a durability mark that demonstrates the technology's commercial viability. 👍 uk.news.yahoo.com/underwater-t...

The cooling towers at Cottam power station came down today. It was a big part of our local skyline along with West Burton, it looks a bit strange without them.

Did some Parkrun local tourism today - scanned barcodes at Sherwood Pines.

Spotted a different sort of Fiat van @joncoupland.bsky.social

Recent arrivals from Cool Components on the shipping ship - temperature/humidity sensor and several distance sensors. Sad to see they are closing down :(

On the way home from Tramlines, I popped into @pimoroni.com towers for a visit and showed off the Giant Unicorn Hat. A big thank you to Pimoroni for supporting me with this madness. I thought it was fitting to take some photos in the factory. Plus it was nice to catch up with Jon, Paul and crew

YouTube is recommending this sort of nonsense to me now - I blame @joncoupland.bsky.social 😂 youtu.be/SnywyZ8Scy4?...

Unexpected present arrived today - this is my favourite #nffc shirt of the current Premier Leagie era and one I have wanted for a while 😀

Three Sonic Pillars running with CircuitPython. Each powered by a Pico 2W. Distance with Adafruit STEMMA-QT vl53l1x and improved sound with the Adafruit 5102 DAC. I wish I knew more about music & sound to have a range of more pleasing tones but it’s coming together. Also needs diffusion & mounting.

I love getting these emails - it’s the personal touch that makes em: Hey { person.first_name|title|default:'' }}!

@antirez.bsky.social we have a thread on our Slack where I work trying to figure out what the plural of Redis is… do you have any thoughts? :)
