ChatGPT has taken to calling me “mate” and. I honestly don’t mind.

Well, I certainly didn't have 'sharing clip of the Tory Shadow Leader of the House' on my to-do-list today. But here he is absolutely going for Farage! And managing to use the word 'bullshiterati' while doing it. It had to be shared!

I know that I am exceptionally old, but it has just occurred to me that La Grange by ZZ Top and Daytona by Chris Rea are quite similar.

Fellow Trek Nerds, this has just come to my attention. Could be the best conversation since Picard and Darmok droppingnames.com

Wondering whether this air freshener was deliberately given an amusing name

Turns out it didn't have legs

Well, that’s TikTok ruined. Although I doubt it’s actually him

Noticed that Flash Gordon was on ITV the other day. I wasn’t sure that I’d ever watched it all the way through. If I have it was a long time ago. Anyway, I just managed about 8 minutes before turning it off

WorthingDigital’s final social of 2025 is this Thursday (27 Nov) at Brewhouse & Kitchen 🎉 In 2026 we’re bringing talks back + looking for speakers + venues. Interested? Drop me a message. See you Thursday! Meetup Link for Thursday: www.meetup.com/worthingdigi...

I absolutely love this idea btw public.monster A throwback to a simpler happier time. Thanks for sharing @sachajudd.com #ffconf

At the

Inspiring talk from @gearsco.de at #ffconf, although… way to make me feel like an underachiever on a Friday afternoon 🤪

Being a dinosaur, and a dinosaur that hasn’t written code for years… at the start of this talk I was just thinking “why not just use Plain Old Semantic HTML?” But, I think I get it… this is good stuff. And I do love a design system. 🦖 #ffconf #webcomponents

Starting my day at #ffconf with delayed trains. So that’s fun

Zarro Boogs Found! Funny what pops into your head when you're busy doing nothing. This lunchtime it was the old zarro boogs message from Bugzilla. Who remembers using that for bug tracking before Jira? Simpler, arguably happier times

The ADHD Taskforce report is finally out. We called what it needed to contain a month ago: national standards, fair shared care, real ownership. First look: some movement, still too many gaps. Reports don’t fix systems. Continuity does. Read the report here www.england.nhs.uk/publication/...

The final barrier from our ADHD Awareness Month campaign: lack of national ownership, accountability, and strategy. Without this, barriers stay stuck locally. Our blog post explains why national ownership is the only way to change the system. Read it here.

Does anyone ever cull their contacts on their phone? I’m just going through mine, I’ve got people in there from a job I left 18 years ago, a couple of dead people and some that I have no idea who they are. I’m not going to delete them though, I’m not a psychopath

Spotted this on a dog walk a couple of days ago. The Royal Mail site didn’t immediately offer any clues. Apparently it’s this www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Glad I can stop obsessively checking for the iOS 26 public beta now, just waiting for it to download. Hoping it won’t brick my phone. I mean, I’m sure it won’t, but still…

My feed has gone way too sportsy for my liking this evening, which prompted me to check whether Bluesky offered keyword blocking like the bird site does. Turns out it does… Go to Settings → Moderation → Muted words & tags

A thread on Threads this morning was talking about being old enough to remember FTPing directly to live, which got me reminiscing. Now the mental scars of battling Visual SourceSafe have resurfaced.

Just accidentally watched season 1 episode 1 of Star Trek: Strange New worlds instead of season 3 episode 1. I thought it seemed familiar, but I mostly spent 50 minutes confused why none of the crew seemed to know each other 🤦🏻‍♂️

Apple TV+ has some pretty decent shows at the moment. I just finished Your Friends & Neighbours with the Mrs, Murderbot is good fun, I’m behind with Slow Horses but just blitzed season 3 on a flight. What I really want now is For All Mankind season 5

If you see this, quote post with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr Who or Transformers.

I’ve been a Douglas Adams fan for longer than I can remember. The radio plays and books were instrumental in how I came to view the world. I’ve just finished listening to this audiobook www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0F8KLK7Y3 which I backed on Kickstarter. It reminded how much I miss him. Have a listen

Just woke up from a pretty stressful dream about everyone’s phones & routers getting knocked out by EMPs from nukes. Don’t watch the news before bed kids

Does anyone else have a default earworm, something that rattles around your brain when there's nothing else going on?

I just listend to "Source Code" by Bill Gates on Audible. It's an interesting listen, narrated by Will Wheaton. I lost count of the number of times he said "8080" or "basic". Old nerds and computer historians will enjoy it

This! I’d like to join. Just heard about you on last week’s Intelligent Machines on the TWiT network

I have some spherical footage shot on a Kodak pixpro sp30. They're MP4 files which I would like to edit on my Mac. There does not seem to be an easy way to do it. Any suggestions?

Aren't they Indian and German?

So far this morning I've had notifications from Costa and Toby Carvery telling me it's my birthday in a week's time. I don't need reminding, thanks.

Well, this is good I suppose. But also weird

Having finished DS9 a few weeks ago, I decided to start watching Enterprise. I didn't really watch it when it aired & wasn't impressed with the bits I'd seen since. I've just finished season 1 and… it's actually quite good #startrek #enterprise #whoknew

The real hierarchy of needs

Does anyone know what this is near Tangmere? I spotted it on maps and I'm intrigued https://maps.app.goo.gl/A9AQFCRvoiTV1CnR9 #Tangmere #Chichester #whatsthis

Meanwhile…

Well, slightly against my better judgement I have just watched Star Trek: Section 31 and I have a theory about why it was made For decades Trekkies have argued about which of the movies is the worst. Now we have a definitive answer. #startrek #section31

I've realised recently that I use the expression "Not overly…" a lot. I'm not sure it's a particularly common turn of phrase. Is it just me beingan old git? I'm not overly sure.

Dearlymost Apple TV. Despery plea to stop playit the trailode for a serie I’ve already watched at the beginny of every prograbber. Deep folly!

Well, I guess we can kiss this sentiment goodbye for the time being

Not exactly sure how long it's taken me, but I have just finished rewatching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in its entirety. It's such a great show, so many brilliant characters and a decent story arc. Yes it's showing its age a bit, but aren't we all?

Blue Monday, the day is a load of old marketing bollocks made up by a travel firm. Blue Monday, the tune is one of my all time favourite tunes of all time & and it has an awesome video to boot. Do yourself a favour, give it a watch

At the driving test centre with youngest. I’m not sure who’s more nervous

About bloody time too, sir @stephenfry.bsky.social

Just saw this ad on TikTok. I didn't know you could drink alcohol in your sleep, if someone can tell me how, I'd pay real money
