Sorry to have been so quiet on here recently... had some (physical) health issues which have left me very tired and not in the mood to post. I have read all posts though so I apologise for not comiserating with or congratulating people on things in their lives.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@thisemailfindsyou/116370761429893683 I'm over 40 and I beg to differ...

Owww... I moved and a muscle in my leg that has been acting up decided to be really painful.

Anyone can post about anything they like here... that doesn't mean that others have to listen and/or respond. In fact, I would rather you didn't respond if you are going to be rude or dismissive of other people's sensibilities. #subtoot

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. For everyone else - have a great Sunday.

Just finished optimizing and checking things after being away from this machine in particular for a while. Our server stack could theoretically handle 5k more registered users and about 1500-2000 monthly active users before we'd need to start thinking about scaling up. Right now, we have 889 […]

Oh my head... And it's not even like I had anything alcoholic to drink last night - even went to bed early. Argh!

April Fools Day is not my thing but I have seen a couple of hilariously obvious ones on other social media sites.

#3goodthings New pictures of my month old nephew (and the three years old one as well). Another win for Antonelli in the #F1. Relaxed Sunday - speaking to my parents and a Tesco grocery delivery later.

RE: https://fox.nexus/@theresnotime/116289524531002155 And THAT'S you're takeaway from this...

Oh arse, I’m really sorry I offended @TheBreadmonkey, but he’s blocked me so he won’t see this 😔 I wasn’t criticising /him/ when I said he sounded like Trump. It was a criticism of Trump, that *his* official communications sound like Ben when he was taking the piss. Someone tell Ben I’m sorry […]

"X always looks good in the dark..." - not sure that is a compliment!

Been a day of upsets at the #6nations #rugby.

I have no issue with the pale blue but England should be in red for contrast - and I am not visually impaired. #6nations #rugby #FRAvENG

Argh! I know that they weren't tries by the rules but geez they were so close! #6nations #rugby #walvita

Been a hectic morning but now settled down for the final weekend of the #6nations #rugby.

RE: https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/116200066067958679 Of course they COULD - any hacker worth their salt could - the real question is whether they WOULD. Surely they would focus on other countries first.

Wow! Was expecting this kind of scoreline but the other way around. Well played Scotland. #6nations #scovfra #rugby

I wanted New Zealand to win but this is standard South African choking in knockout cricket. #cricket #T20WorldCup #savnz

Was not expecting THAT after the first innings but I'll take it. #T20WorldCup #cricket

Haven't been watching the #6nations until today so you can blame me for this. #engvire

Why do people assume everyone wants a hug? Some of us do not like to be touched and a hug would make things worse!

Re last boost - considering that they can't get Visas...

Pakistan properly 'jobbing' for India here. Shame it won't lead to any of their players being rewarded with an IPL contract

Sitting here enjoying the #t20world Cup #cricket and watching it snow. Love snow when I don't have to go out in it.

One England win v Scotland down... Can the rugby team make it two? #cricket ##T20WorldCup #rugby #sixnations

So true! Regardless of nationality, age, or background, it's all about who you are 😍❤️ "The only thing more powerful than hate is love" By Ian Redpath & Jeremy Chopra from allontheboard.

Now can Ireland spring an upset? #cricket ##T20WorldCup

That was WAY too close... but a win is a win! #cricket #T20WorldCup

Is anyone/does anyone on the fedi know string instrument players ( #cello mainly, but also #violin ) in #london interested in joining a #stringquartet? Alternatively is any almost-quartet looking for a #viola player? Asking for partner :) #music #classicalmusic :boost_requested:

New laptop as the old one was being a little tempermental (and some of the keys were not working as well as they should do!). Took a while for it all to be set up but at least you can keep some of your preferences because of Windows. I did have download a couple of things such as stuff for work […]

Ugh - why cannot I not shake this headache?! I know it's self inflicted but normally it would have stopped pounding by now. And it was a good night!

USA are putting up a decent fight against India at the #cricket #T20WorldCup. Wasn't expecting that.

There's too much cricket to pay attention to! Under 19s, Men's t20 in Sri Lanka. What makes it harder to follow along is that I'm also supposed to be working

Yes Amazon, because I bought a new Kindle *yesterday*, you’re absolutely right in assuming that I might like a new Kindle 🙄 That and *every* *single* *week* suggesting I might like a NASA tshirt or hoodie. $deity help them if this is the best algorithm they can come up with with all of AWS at […]

@DJDarren #theplaylistsuggestion Garbage - The World Is Not Enough

Proper snow now... looks lovely out there as I don't have to go out in it.

And naturally just after I posted that that a light snow started!

Like most of the UK we are being threatened with severe snow... *looks outside* It is dry and the sun us shinning!

Working but have the darts on in the background. The chant "stand up if you love the darts" comes across as slightly ableist.

And on the same note - just because you didn't get in on the ground floor (so to speak), that doesn't make you less of a fan.

I hate when people claimed to have "discovered" an actor from a different country. People in that country have often been aware of them for 10+ years. Do your research before posting a "hot take on a NEW personality".

Just back from Christmas with my sibling's in-laws (plus my parents, their brother in-law and their two children). Lovely relaxed afternoon and the drive there and back incredibly smooth. Simple and small presents - as need to get them back on a train Saturday - but all well thought out.

At my parents for Christmas - here are some decorations in the small town they live in (near Stockport/Manchester).
