I feel like I'm going mad(der), it's the tax fiddlers, the corrupt businesses, creative accounting and greedy bastards that are screwing it all up, not the people who cook their bread a bit differently to the way your grandma did

It is easy to forget how amazing most tech services are, the levels of availability we get today are still high. But when things go wrong, even in smaller orgs, it is harder to restore due to poor management decisions sidelining or booting out experience staff. We might be annoying but we know stuff

I said it'd be DNS

AWS having a wobble and I'm on holiday, yay! I'm merrily watching a documentary on Sinclair funnily enough on Amazon prime rather than saying that a few of our services have issues and they won't be back till AWS fix their issue (it'll be DNS or a bad change)

I've got a feeling this could be one of the more entertaining races #F1

Due to the use of brute force I'm downgrading this from heist to caper

There's been a heist! Please be the work of an international gang put together for this one last job

The post-Winamp era of computing is straight up dogshit.

The 16 minute mark should be the new default song length. Still not enough of the glorious chorus in this #ChimpyChoons youtu.be/hNPPRoIs8c4?...

Listening to the short version of this is short changing yourself #ChimpyChoons youtu.be/oFrXXqq7QvQ?...

A right comedy of errors here

Not the point but.. I'd met a girl who was a footie fan, we'd arranged to watch this in the pub for our first proper date, it was going well. As soon as the players were taken off she said "want to come back to mine?" Hell yes. I bet we had our kit off quicker the players did. Happy memories

Woo hoo! Made it through! Already turned alarms off, don't need them till next Monday. I knew July to Oct was going to be rough and it was. Getting a new job is proving harder than I thought so gotta make the best of it, finally getting the team where it needs to be but it's bloody hard. Now to rest

Gold at record highs, bitcoin dropping, structural issues within the banking sector continue, AI stocks continue to rise. All perfectly normal economics. I'm sure everything is fine, nothing to worry about, no chance of contagion www.theguardian.com/business/liv...

Finally! Made it Duvall day. Get through today then a much needed week off

Wahey! Today's MFA code was 069!!

Do I watch the England match or carry on with the carpenters documentary? Easy choice #ChimpyChoons youtu.be/PjFoQxjgbrs?...

Please euromillions, do me a favour and pick my numbers tonight!

Anyone told Eva Longoria that she can easily find Spain between France and Portugal?

Watching 28 years later, hmm, I'm not rooting for the kid, series of very bad choices

Hitsville: The making of Motown, just a wonderful documentary, perfect Sunday afternoon viewing youtu.be/kk8tFtdHqtw?...

How have we not scored? #oafc

Treated myself to a fun pasta! Maybe I do need to get more?

Maybe AI is not totally bad?

People who book meetings in my calendar for that day or even the following day are psychopaths and are now on the list

The pins are approaching the bubble

Just fuck off, then fuck off more you bunch of fucking fuckers

Singapore, the best looking grand Prix due to the lights but one of the dullest races

We need a tog or denier rating scheme for bin bags

I definitely picked the wrong Richard Dreyfuss shark movie to watch tonight. 3.5 is very generous m.imdb.com/title/tt2863...

My best mate offered to get me a ticket for these shows but I couldn't get time off work, we've wanted to see Ara Batur live for about 20 years, each time we've seen them we've hoped but they've not played it live. Till now, and we weren't there #ChimpyChoons youtu.be/YGMjuaNc80Q?...

Fuck me I'm drunk. I've just danced for the first time in about 9 years. Nice

Out out ish

When I turn on my TV I don't want to select a profile, see a load of adverts and apps then press guide then scroll to a channel and press select. I want it to immediately tune to BBC1 or ITV like TVs did successfully for decades. This is not progress.

Love this more now than I did this morning. The old noggin isn't in great shape but this has had me smiling for the first time in ages. Brilliantly done Elvis impression from the 68 comeback special when he's off his tits, the Beasties, and Zig and Zag. Magical! Shouldn't work but so does

Occasional reminder that the best version of Sabotage is this version of Sabotage - also under three minutes! #chooseday youtu.be/eAE1j3Rea6c?...

This whole section really.

Fresh pasta is a con by big spaghetti I buy it as a "treat" every so often and each time it is just soggy disappointment

I'm sure there was a time when it felt like stuff was getting better and life was getting easier. Now feels like everything gets a bit shitter everyday

After watching a film I loved when it came out in the 80s I've looked at the guide and sky are showing films released in the 2020s cos it's not far off 2026 and I don't remember agreeing to getting old enough to remember over 40 years

I suppose the cold war wouldn't have ended if the Apollo v Drago fight had been stopped early by the ref so there is that

The standard of refereeing in all the Rocky films is very poor but it does go to a new low in IV. Both fights should've been stopped about 17 times

You've got to stop this Rocky! Apollo's getting hurt in there! This fight doesn't get any less brutal. I still miss Apollo, his and Rocky's scenes as mates are the best bits of the whole Rocky series. Part of what makes Creed 1&2 so good as they build on that friendship

Apologies, this is where the cake budget went. Apart from two mins at the start where they recap the Apollo v Rocky 3rd fight with the "Ding ding" bit there's not been any boxing. I'm 13 mins in, it's all cake and robots so far
