Dude must be so relieved he doesn't work for a company that is heavily dependent on selling per-seat Enterprise Office/Windows licenses to white-collar workers… right?

Who's the most famous alum of your high school? I like to say that the answer was Douglas Adams*; but I fear Frank Lampard and Noel Edmonds are actually far more famous, despite being fractions of Adams. (*Rumour is that Adams found Brentwood in that era pretty miserable. He was right.)

Look… all I'm saying is that if we moved Dublin to just off the coast of the Isle of Man we could achieve a much more pleasingly shaped loop. And that's something I would vote for.

Wasn't Churchill more of an "amateur soldier"? Didn't need the money/ did it "for the lols"? But anyways… not the main point… I do think people are failing to understand that military leadership is very different to political leadership - Carns would likely be Starmer Mk II.

Really struggling to see the win here, unless you are the new VC who will presumably double her salary? But continuing (for the moment, at least) to run them as separate institutions doesn't appear to leave much room for streamlining?

introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you: Hi I'm (not) Daniel - my great grandfather's name, which my son ended up getting. He tho has a much more interesting answer - if he'd been a girl, (s)he would have been called… Isis. (This was obviously before… ya'know!)

How lovely though that these US tech companies, despite having invested billions, have done this for free, out of the goodness of their little hearts. And all the benefits accrue to us! So touching.

I get that this sounds productive, but who is going to use these 100s of new apps? Who is going to do the training and lead the process change? (Don't say "AI" - just don't!) And who is going to mediate the inevitable conflicts between all these apps? It would be chaos!

I’m an old-school “computer programmer” but one thing AI has brought sharply into focus is how much of my job is *not* writing code - it is stuff like mediating between competing requirements; foreseeing impacts on old data; remembering *why* we do things the way we do. AI ain't doing any of that.

Loving the new single by La Oreja de Van Gogh. Yer, it is LOdvG-By-Numbers; but the numbers are soooo good. Wonder if they will tour again with Amaia? Sceptical that Amaia can sing Leire's songs; but would love to see them do the classics from Guapa and Lo Que te Conte.

I get where this is coming from, but it would be the end of social media in the UK - the business model would no longer be workable - Facebook et al (inc. Bluesky) would just withdraw. You can think that a good or a bad thing, but you need to acknowledge that would be the result.

I have tried… as Tom Lehrer once said… to stay serene and calm, but the last 24 hours have been a test. Feels like lines have been crossed, and if someone doesn't uncross them pretty sharply, then… well… I don't really want to think about it.
