This is a really cool piece about how the Tube has been cabled for mobile signal - nerdy for those who like nerdy, but also accessible for non-nerds.

All those articles on how to de-ice your car never seem to mention the simple act of putting a hot water bottle on your dashboard. De-ices the screen and stops it from fogging up plus you then have a hot water bottle to give your passenger or kid to keep warm.

Currently tasked with building, effectively, a single page app in Drupal using Ajax. My dislike of the shambles that is Drupal combined by the mess that is frontend development and the interaction between JavaScript and PHP with Drupal fucking it up in between is driving me insane.

I wonder if it will be like razor blades and we’ll get three-factor authentication and then four-factor. I need half a dozen services for work and they all need authentication codes which I now struggle to find in the list (I fear deleting any).

“One of the key concepts in Scrum is that the team members decide themselves how they’re going to do the work. It’s management’s responsibility to set the strategic goals, but it’s the team’s job to decide how to reach those goals.” And yet we have Jira that works in the opposite direction and so…

Business idea: selective burglars. You get given 50 stickers to stick on items you love but aren’t critical to everyday life and then the ‘break’ in and take anything of no practical use (including clothing) and sell it and split the money 50/50 with you. You can appeal items for a fee and have…

Briefly logged into X to check something. Wow. If I’d taken how bad I thought it was and over exaggerated it I’d still not have got it quite as bad as it is. Other social media sites should take note of how quickly they could lose their relevance as X has done.

Maybe it was the whole primitive, hateful idea of the feminine as dark, blind, weak, and evil that I saw shaking itself to pieces, imploding, crumbling into wreckage on a desert ground. And I rejoiced to see it fall. I still do.

In the latter months of his own long sickness the Master Herbal had taught him much of the healer's lore, and the first lesson and the last of all that lore was this: Heal the wound and cure the illness, but let the dying spirit go.

Agile is a weird thing. I can’t think of anything in IT that is so popular and enthusiastically promoted by people who evidently have little or no idea of what it is or how it should be implemented. The closest analog seems to be conservative Christians.

“Why are men afraid of women?” “If your strength is only the other's weakness, you live in fear,” Ged said. “Yes; but women seem to fear their own strength, to be afraid of themselves.” “Are they ever taught to trust themselves?” Ged asked “No,” she said.
