I am bad at writing papers. I think I'm very bad at finalising things, which does not help. But I also have 4 on the go right now (not counting the ones that aren't quite formed) so it's hard to keep my head in each one

Randall Monroe's #xkcd comic has the power to make you laugh, to make you think ... and sometimes to make you cry. For the right reasons. * Posted in Nov 2012: Two Years * Posted in Dec 2017: Seven Years * Posted in Nov 2020: Ten Years * Posted yesterday (Nov 2025): Fifteen Years […]

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Is this a lot for some front end development? It seems a lot. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/nov/24/bom-website-redesign-cost-revealed-96-5-m

Ok folks I'm doing it, wish me luck. "Dear reviewer 1,..."

Are there any games I should be playing that are less addictive than #zelda? I play the thing until my battery dies, which is a good thing otherwise I would just keep going #totk

Wishing you all a very happy whatever this is #dogsofmastodon

I think we should all get involved with a DDOS attack on our local GPs. How about we all call them at the same time and block their phone lines? 8am tomorrow folks? Who's with me?

Password change - ok fine. Re-enter password on different device - ok fine. Re-enter passcode from authenticator app - ok fine. Passcode not recognised - can't log into MS teams - ok fine.

Nailed it

I just had to look up this phrase to see if it was AI hallucinating: "University of Central Lancashire, Larnaca, Cyprus". Turns out it's a thing

Had a great day out today watching the #bangerracing. Finished with proper smash up and a car rolling a few times. The driver was fine so everyone loved it!

Operational processing of the Level-4 (L4) CryoSat-2/Sentinel-3/SMOS (CS3SMOS) sea ice thickness product has been started for the Arctic 2025/26 winter season. The product version has seen a major upgrade from v206 to v300. #Arctic #Climate […] [Original post on det.social]

Ah reviewers comments. How I've missed you

Sumo in London > NFL in London

Northern Ireland vs Germany in the world cup qualifiers is absolutely the best game of football there is. Minnows vs giants. Everything at stake. Rarely comes around. No commentators talking about the England men's team. Everyone there for a good time. Love it. #nirger

#email advice needed. My partner is not getting a significant number of emails that are being sent to her business account. She's using #gmail. Any advice as to what can be done or to look for? Changing providers isn't an immediate option, though might be in the longer run

My code was telling me the size of an array was 396157436 - I checked and thought it should be of size 4691124732. How much quicker are you lot than me at figuring out what went wrong?

Thought code wasn't working. It was just super slow (and a lot to calculate). Got it running on 128 threads and with some output logging. Let's see how far we get overnight

We had an operational issue this evening and I had to help out. Had left my laptop on the office though. Dug out my old laptop that I haven't used since 2020. Once I found the charger it booted straight away. Minor hiccup with Firefox, but after that no issues. Ubuntu 20.04 still going strong. I […]

Happy to report that I am our outgoing DG's "main source of disappointment". Apparently that's a french compliment

Bought some uranium today 🟢

So they turned off they internet in our offices so I missed this yesterday. Big news - #opendata is here from #ecmwf https://www.ecmwf.int/en/about/media-centre/news/2025/ecmwf-makes-its-entire-real-time-catalogue-open-all

Had a fight with the build system. It was pretty one sided, but I got my point across

[#RyderCup] Drains the putt and then straight on the magners after. #shano is a legend

Does anyone know when we might expect #v2g or #V2H home #ev chargers to be available in the UK? I know there's been some trials but I don't have a feeling when it'll be mainstream

"MTG-IRS measures ~350 *billion* observations per day" okay that is a lot

While dreaming I was wondering how you would be able to identify that an AI within your dream was hallucinating?

[MRI scan images] Had an #mri today. Looked like this. Anyone want to give me a diagnosis?
