I think it is better when conferences are led by people who come from the communities the conferences are for, rather than companies who run conferences across many communities.

As a small child US cinema lead me to believe that every manhole had a steam tunnel or sewer beneath it. Excitedly lifting my first cover and finding a small drain was devastating.

Tonight I got the director of Hackers (1994) to sign my copy of the novelisation and discovered it was the first time he'd ever signed one. It was also the first time he'd ever seen one, and in fact the first time he found out it existed.

Heads up: London Open House appear to be sharing your personal data (name and email address) with every venue that you add to your itinerary on their website. Obviously it makes sense for bookings - but this is just bookmarking drop-in events! I am extremely mad.

My continued enthusiasm about the most adorable wave-dissipating concrete block has lead to a surprisingly large number of friends making artisanal tetrapods. Today: "​Handed a tetrapod mould to one of our moulding technicians, I now have silicone tetrapods appearing at my desk every 90 minutes"

Good news! I've obtained a gender changer and this crime scene will now very "happily" transfer at USB3 speeds. Once. Then Dolphin crashes. (Maybe because changing your gender is now illegal in the UK?)

Having a clear out of some old computer equipment that's been cluttering up my place for a couple of decades. It's absolutely SPARCtastic. All free to a good home. r/vintagecomputing are all over it, but if any of my friends here want something then just ask.

One thing I would like more people, and I mostly mean my fellow men, to understand is that no matter how smart you are, other people are also smart and some of them have tried to work on the same problems you’re working on. If a simple solution hasn’t been found yet, there probably isn’t one.

Everyone banging on about Bluesky's age verification being awful: Have you considered it may be intentional. If you force me to implement something I disagree with I'll comply - but I'll make it as easy to override as I possibly can. I don't know that's the case here. But it sure looks like it.

A very young girl stopped us to ask if I would "help with something small", and after agreeing she led us into a warren of apartments. Just as we were getting a bit nervous, it turned out she only wanted me to close her freezer door - it's Shabbat and she wasn't allowed to. But how did she open it
