We need some help. We are going to work with a charity this year to send postcards to people who are socially isolated, e.g. people in care homes or hospices. Everyone will get a card in their bag that they can put a message on and then we will do the distribution.

Finished reading Ctrl+Alt+Chaos by @joetidy.bsky.social. Its an interesting look into young hackers who commit criminal activities, how that happens and what the consequences are. NGL, its all quite terrifying.

Imdb describes Rivals as a Period Drama. Googling this term returns: Historical Setting: They take place in an era older than recent memory. In period dramas, "older than recent memory" refers to the Victorian or Edwardian eras (roughly the mid-19th century to 1910. The 80's is NOT a Period Drama!

Bought a new car this week. It has a manual handbrake. My last car of 4 years had an automatic handbrake. Guess how many times ive attempted to drive off with the handbrake on 🤔 #MuscleMemory

Wow! This one slipped through the net! If you have a public Amazon wish list make sure you use a PO Box or virtual office address. www.pcmag.com/news/got-a-p...

I'm very lucky to live within travelling distance of some great cyber events. M2600 last night was a brilliant catchup with existing and new members. If you'd like to join a social gathering with good convos I'd recommend a 2600 meetup. Theres plenty of them around.

Gutted I couldn't take a picture because I was driving but I was behind a car yesterday with the licence plate 0066 ARR @bsidesexeter.bsky.social 🚗

Stayed in a lovely hotel in Exeter prior to attending BSides Exeter. It had fancy windows, a chandelier and creepy paintings. Food was decent in the bar and was a great place to chill and people watch.

Me ordering online - id like a white wine please. Morrisons - That particular bottle is unavailable, have this red instead. 🤷‍♀️

Do you know what can do one? Showers that need instructions that dont come with any. Multiple shower heads- great Dial tap with numbers on. No numbers on shower heads 🤷‍♀️ Ok so test and see. Fine. Temp only heats up after 10 mins of running. From cold to boiling without warning FFS.

Remember when phones were dinky?

End of a long week deserves a treat.

Brother hates birthdays and doesn't entertain present giving so each year we take him out for a meal. That means I get to enjoy lovey food too😋 Had a lovely lasagne today.

Some good news. www.thedrive.com/news/john-de...

This year no surprise drops - We will announce each one, with different times to accomodate different working patterns. #BSidesLeeds

BSides Lancahire on Thursday was so much fun. Cracking talks, fun activities and awesome humans. Things I learned I can’t easily tell AI from human generated content. Tom blue has a naming convention for his friends. Certain fruit is to be protected and not removed until Lindsay has liberated it

Experienced speakers - we need you! We are looking for speaker mentors to support our brand-new speakers who have requested one.

Finished reading Rinsed. Such an interesting read. I love @geoffwhite247.bsky.social style of writing. Feels like you're in a pub and someone's telling a really good story so everyone stops to listen.

Have been given a bunch of random stickers. Will add to the next charity sticker stall i see.

Who knew there were so many Barbies 🤷‍♀️

For those who missed it yesterday, our CFP is now open.
