Briefly interrupting my holiday to share this story I wrote about scientists simulating growing tea on the moon. (In Kent) Firmly comes under 'weird science' I used to often cover for Computing Magazine back in the day. www.theregister.com/2025/09/22/m... via @theregister.com

As of very early tomorrow, wife & I are officially on holiday for a few days. It's my first 'real' holiday since I went freelance I'm going to do my best to fully ignore work emails, LinkedIn and *gasp* even Bluesky. Might just temporarily completely wipe my phone of apps tbh. 😅

I'm back in Computer Weekly with this feature examining the pros and cons of AI agents for cybersecurity... “If I’m a criminal and I know you’re using an AI agent... for me, that’s a way into the network to deploy ransomware” www.computerweekly.com/feature/Are-... via @computerweekly.bsky.social

The onboard shots of the F1 drivers going full pelt in the *extremely* narrow castle section always looks so cool. But also terrifying.

Me, reading my own articles.

What an excellent wrestling show #AEWAllOut has been. So pleased to have been able to watch it live thanks to the 'early' start time in North America. Fun chatting with #Wrestlesky too. But now it's 1am here, I'm tired out and I'm going to bed. 😅 🤼‍♂️

It just crossed my mind how I saw Fletcher wrestling in the backs of pubs and bars in London in 2017/2018 and now here he is main eventing a PPV in a huge North American arena. 😁 #AEWAllOut 🤼‍♂️

It's still ages away, but very much looking forward to this @evewrestling.bsky.social show. Seeing Stat with both belts up close is going to hit so hard - among a bunch of other cool stuff, of course!😁 #AEWAllOut 🤼‍♂️

I'm disgusted with myself for not spotting Jet Speed's Sonic the Hedgehog themed gear. 🥲 #AEWAllOut

I don't know if it's because of my TV, my internet, the Triller app or because it's a live event rather than a replay, but the audio has been a second out all show and it's really bugging me now. 🥲 Just me? #AEWAllOut 🤼‍♂️

Legitimately didn't recognise PAC wearing clothes. 😅 #AEWAllOut

Somewhere in Darby's mind... #AEWAllOut 🤼‍♂️

Poor Dorada. He's getting so bullied in this match so far. 🥲 #AEWAllOut 🤼‍♂️

I'm enjoying how much Danielson is loving Mercedes Moné v Riho on commentary. (I am also very much enjoying this match) #AEWAllOut 🤼‍♂️

This might be one of the few times that Mercedes is larger than her opponent. 😅 #AEWAllOut 🤼‍♂️

Very much approve of Beth's look. #AEWAllOut 🤼‍♂️

The Canadians picking up the 'Christian Cage, will you be my dad' chant from the UK crowds. You love to see it. 🫡🇬🇧 #AEWAllOut 🤼‍♂️

Skye Blue taking those staple gun shots. #AEW 🤼‍♂️

Looking forward to watching #AEW All Out. Especially being able to watch a show LIVE because of the afternoon start time in Canada, which works out as 8pm in the UK. 🙂 🤼‍♂️

Watching the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final at a small craft beer bar in South London. 😌

Important competitive sport news, everyone. www.theregister.com/2025/09/19/u... via @theregister.com

What an interesting, excellent, well-written story, this is. It's my debut in @theregister.com, where doing news reporting today. ✏️

Standard first lap in the F2, I see. AKA, as chaotic as a public lobby in an online racing game..

Another day, another cyber-attack...

I'm almost classed as partially-sighted. I thought I'd woken up earlier than wife for once, so in the dark, without having put my glasses on, I quietly grabbed clothes and towels and went to shower. ... turns out she was already up and in the living room and the bump in the bed was just the duvet.

I regret to inform you I accidentally saw some of the comments under Football Manager's Steam post about "Introducing Women's Football" into the next game. Toxic isn't a strong enough description. 💀🫠

I'm now at a developer event. Nobody tell them I don't know how to code...

It's fascinating to me how those behind the big cyber attacks these days are a) so young b) home grown as opposed to coming from Russia or something.

Got several meetings in central London today. Mostly in Shoreditch because I'm obviously a total hipster/tech wanker...

@grahamcluley.com Very much agree with comments in the latest podcast around the phrase "Bad Actors" 😅 (Nobody outside the security business says that or "threat actor", of course...)

Me in the shower on Monday morning.

“How your email finds me”

The one on the right is certainly a vibe.

JUST ONE DAY LEFT to complete our survey on the WRU's plans for the future of Welsh rugby. It’s not too late for you to have your say - it takes 10 minutes to complete. Don’t let the WRU duck their responsibilities - this is too important. Please share widely!

I wrote two official Star Wars books and never once spelled "Emperor" right first time.

good god I've written a new edition of Car Science, only about 18 months after the last one. this is basically just a bunch of interesting things that've happened with synthetic fuel (the stocks are down ...and also up?) and I figured I might as well write about buttondown.com/HSouthwellFE...

Shares in a British automaker supplier plummeted 55% Wednesday as it warned that a cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover was impacting its business, adding to concerns that the incident is sending a “shockwave” through the country’s industrial sector, according to a senior politician.

Apparently, today marks 6 years since I went on American TV News to talk about internet connected petrol pumps (or gas pumps, as they call them...) being hacked. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DW1...

Today is my wife's birthday. 🎉 Here she is enjoying the 'candle' brought to her on a plate of Baklavas by the owner of the Greek restaurant we had dinner at with friends at the weekend The 'candle' is a firework. The keep more than 1m away instruction on the side was clearly ignored by all.
