MP Tris Osborne is demanding immediate action to get a 12-week roadworks done faster. Hope he's accounted for the Rayleigh Curve Model. Imagine the roadworks job is like baking a cake. Forcing bakers to sprint causes them to spill the mix, burn layers, start again. Same cake, more mess.

Took bike on train to Gillingham, to get some bits'n'bobs at local bike shop. Onto The Royal Engineers Museum for a couple of hours (enjoyed a bit of the Berlin Wall). Gentle cycle home along NCR1, enjoying the colours of low tide. Yup. That'll do.

Just keep rollin'. Great story about how women are challenging stereotypes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Navigating the Kafkaesque bureaucracy that is Google Support. Have requested a UK legal contact around ten times now so that I can raise a formal complaint. No response to that request each time.

Thanks, everyone, for their support with my latest book. I'm looking forward to the live workshops later today and tomorrow. (Still time to jump in on those if you are interested).

Making backup of my partner’s Android phone. On phone, installed Termux to run a Python HTTP server. On PC, spun up a Dockerized Jupyter container I had an image for just to use linux-based wget to save myself the (small) chore of finding and installing a Windows version. Now copying files.

Woohoo! 🎉 My book, "Effective Visualization," is officially launching NEXT WEEK! I'm so incredibly excited to finally share it with you all. Get ready to transform your data into compelling stories! (Join my mailing list if you want an early bird discount.)

Kagi has been one the best changes I've made in the last year in my tech stack.

Spending the afternoon giving myself a crash course in Jekyll and Github Actions. By crash, I mean my newly triggered Github Action workflows are frequently resulting in just that.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Installing Arch Linux on an ancient laptop. Listening to Best of Bootie Mashup 2024. Watching BBC live reporting feed of Luke Littler's progress in the PDC World Darts Championship final. One set away. Come on Luke!

A laptop so grubby it may have spent some of its life as a food service tray. And it runs Windows. Still, shouldn't look a gift pony in the gob. Let's get to work. Thinking Arch Linux for this circa 2013 Samsung. CLI-only.
