Happy Christmas to all those who understand different number formats. Waiting for the geeks who get this ti respond…

If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

Got someone coming Thursday to do it for $450. Pays to shop around!

Just got a quote to hang Christmas lights round my house and a tree. $1,660! And that’s not including the lights. Seems pretty bloody extortionate.

What is it with apps wanting full access to your calendar just to add events. Lyft, Cinemark - just fuck off and provide a single event I can manually add. Stop trying to be creepy and accessing my calendar.

I also love the Amazon wish lists as I can quickly find books I want, add them to my list, then refer to it when I order them at my local indie.

London I am in you!

Wonder if anyone’s asked ChatGPT for the Epstein files?

Vibe coding is so dull. Playing with Ren’Py by vibe coding an app and most of the time it’s just sitting waiting for the LLM to respond.

So the local race organizers have got a double half marathon this weekend, one Saturday and one Sunday. What idiot would not only want to run 2 half marathons over a weekend, but pay for the privilege? Me. I’m the idiot…

Here’s a fun conspiracy theory. There was a paper published that showed using AI reduced your critical thinking skills. The republican US government, famous for cutting education and wanting a dumb populace as they are easy to control, is cozying up to the AI tech bros. Connected?

Hey app builders - if I turn off notifications for marketing bollocks in your app, then you send me a notification asking me to turn them back on, then I’m just going to get pissed off with your app.

See ya in Redmond in March! #MVPBuzz

Today, thirty years ago, a generation of millennials had their brains lovingly broken by the gender fuckery and incandescent coolness of the movie Hackers 🧵

So you know how there's a running gag about trying to run old school Doom or Wolfenstein on things never intended to run video games? This guy has managed to code a web server that runs from a disposable vape 🤯 bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/project...

Oh yay - having the pool heater and hot tub on was blowing our power. So we paid an electrician hundreds of dollars so that now having the pool heater and hot tub on blows our power.

The fun of enabling markdown linting on a docs repo then slowly trying to clean up 1,300 errors. It’s only enforced on PRs for files that change, not all files, but it’s good to make a start on cleaning up so editing a doc doesn’t mean making extra edits to pass the linter.

Folks, please help my amazing wife. Despite the idiots in charge having billions for concentration camps and ballrooms, education is still badly funded. Anything you can contribute will help the kids in her care.

Why is there a part of me that thinks the republicans revoking vaccine mandates for kids is because the death cult is fed up with being told that guns are the number 1 cause of death in kids and instead of fixing that, they want to be able to say no it’s disease.

Hey @erinmikail.bsky.social - this you? 😁

Saw The Roses tonight. Absolutely hilarious black comedy. Bendystraw Cumberwizzle and Olivia Coleman were excellent. Lots of British gags that made a couple of us in the audience crack up. Highly recommended.

Oh fun. Dealing with the @github.com hack that wasn't a hack according to them but does mean a load of my private repos became public and got renamed.

Using GPT-5 to generate images for a slide deck, and I'm noticing that in general the images created a brown. Anyone else noticed this? There's a general brown hue to what it creates. Maybe it's cos AI is generally 💩

It’s a lovely sunny day, and if I have to work I’m glad I can do it outside whilst listening to Mx12 and their best friend play in the pool.

Mx12s keyboard teacher is leaving, and there’s no replacement at the slot they have, so now they are about to try music production… Thoughts and prayers to my bank balance.

Based on the two in the middle this looks like turtle dogging and there ms one waiting to go next…

You vs the guy she told you not to worry about.

TFW you go to a @kcdc.bsky.social session in RenPy and decide your plane ride home will be playing with then, then @abt.bsky.social gives you a copy of her book and you also want to read that.

Not saying my @kcdc.bsky.social Star Wars themed workshop was the best, but here’s one of the attendees warming up the audience playing Star Wars on the accordion.

The fun begins!

Checking my fit before teaching a workshop on creating a copilot at @kcdc.bsky.social. Clippy FTW!

I don’t know what this book is but I feel like I need to get a copy

A WH Smith’s at MCI airport! But not a beano in sight.

England has some petty bitches 😂

Kansas City I am in you! @kcdc.bsky.social here I come!

Luckily the orange idiot will take a sharpie and change the direction

What SEATAC needs is accurate information on how delayed a flight will be, a large running track, and changing rooms. Not bothered that my flight is delayed but would like to know how long and have the chance to go for a run whilst I wait.

A good philosophy on life is don’t be a cunt. It’s amazing how many people seem to find this hard to do. And they end up running large companies or governments.
