"I haven't a fucking scooby what any of this shit does."

Pages on Facebook claiming to be *the* authority on music theory, and go on to immediately introduce the "trebble" clef.

I like what he's done with his hair today.

Have a sudden craving for the pills with all the autism. This prick is exhausting me, and I'm only reading tweets about it.

Ncuti Gatwa was of course, the fifthteenth Doctor. #DoctorWho simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_...

"Man ignores Trump suggestion" doesn't need to be your main headline, BBC News... That's a default position.

BBC News calling the King a tart shocker.

I have a feeling the central heating may be coming on tonight...

Yesterday's (fairly quick) job was recreating The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar omnibus shown on BBC One on Sunday 27 September 2015.

The latest Doctor Who Magazine has landed on my doormat. The Jodie Whittaker interview should give the Radio Times website enough articles for about a month.

Just watched The Godfather for the first time. I'd never realised it was a (very well made) period piece, and there were a few main players I thought would make it to the sequel(s) that didn't. It felt its length though. The whole trilogy is on BBC iPlayer, and I'll start II tonight.

Marking the death of narrator Ray Brooks, ITV Retro have, as if by magic, popped all of Mr Benn up on their YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctHB...

Wait till they find out I make cacio e pepe with Aldi chicken noodles... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

AI seems to be a genuinely useful tool for coder/developers, but aren't LLMs overkill? Smaller models targeted on specific programming languages (or groups of languages for front/back end) would surely be far more efficient (and more likely to be accurate).

I'm having a go at recreating the ZX Spectrum Jet Set Willy in Godot Engine. Last night's work was recreating the soundtrack, experimenting with some waveform samples I generated, and getting Godot to pitch-shift each note, with an amplitude envelope generated by tweens.

A very happy birthday to you @mancjules.bsky.social !

I only occasionally develop front-end stuff for the browser, little puzzle or card games that don't need the power of Godot Engine, and I loathe CSS with a passion. Can they just rip it up and start again? Currently grappling with grids... I have about 15 MDN tabs open.

This afternoon, 2pm to 5pm!

Having to write my own card solitaire Android app because the one I've used for decades has started pumping in adverts like ITV at 2am. It's also meant I've brushed off the Mahjong one I might actually now finish. (I never found an Android version I liked).

Mark Woods, Andy Jolley and I attempted @themindrobber.bsky.social Gav's new escape room last week. We're a great team and got out in record time! You can join the mailing list and book tickets now.

Forgot I received an Amazon gift card from an auntie at Christmas which I've only used £1 of. What to spend the rest on!

Misreading, I thought for a second that Sylvester Stallone had gone... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The "announcement" of new Doctor Who soundtracks seems to be based off a Radio Times article, itself from reports from a recent DWAS event, where Murray said little more than he said to DWM back in 2023. I think Season 10 is still a way off...

Casualty has a slight problem with Robert Bathurst playing a sex-pest surgeon, as his antics just remind me of this.

I was heading into town on Thursday and heard a departing cruise ship parping out a tune which I eventually recognised as the verse of The Love Boat theme tune. Of course, it was one of the Princess cruise ships...

Given how corporations are squeezing every penny out of consumers, it is vital that governments and councils ensure that big companies, if not stopped altogether, are charged for use of any otherwise free public facility. And tell the lobbyists to fuck off.

This is what happens when they're mistranslated on the menu as "chippings".

Very cheeky.

Last night, I came home to find a dismembered bird on the upstairs landing. Minx the cat may be 18 years-old, but she's still got skills.

I knew the Doctor would have to take a ride on the Rani's hover mower, but I wasn't expecting him to drive it up a bone dinosaur's arse... #DoctorWho

I'm sure you all know Ernest Borgnine's secret to longevity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XpS... #DoctorWho

I was trying to remember which Rose Hello I was reminded of... #DoctorWho

Probably not the one you were expecting. Twice. #DoctorWho

Snivelling tell-tale snitch. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Had a credit card fraud call. The very idea I tried to spend £500 at Primark is a dreadful insult.

I presume this Zack/Mitchells story has been speeding through the last few months so Chris Clenshaw could see it out on his watch. #EastEnders

Urgh, hadn't realised it was half-term in Liverpool this week. #bratseverywhere

Started watching Tenet before bed last night (currently on Prime), so still a bit left to do this evening. Wish me luck.

Just bobbed into town to get some fresh air. It's getting busy with football celebrations, goodness only knows what it's gonna be like after Sefton Park clears out...

Nessa from Eldorado! #iykyk

I'm old enough to remember when actual random children were receiving threats from actual grown-up lawyers demanding $10s-of-thousands for downloading a low-quality torrent rip of a pop song on their mum's PC, and politicians didn't give a solitary chubby shite.

It is 2030. David Beckham is in every single advertisement.

I still occasionally make The Doctor's Temptation from Colin Baker. @oldsixie.bsky.social

Kendall!!!

The BBC have "axed" Ncuti so hard, they're still promoting dollies of him. #DoctorWho

Possibly the most important skeet of the day. All the way from Grimbald... www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdzT...

How dare you bring woke arithmetic into this! (etc)

Our members enjoyed The (animated) Genocide Machine on Saturday (new to some!), and thanks Josh for the introduction video! If you want to hear more about animating Big Finish, @joshsnares.bsky.social tells all on the latest The Sirens of Audio podcast. www.sirensofaudio.com/2025/05/josh...

Werewolves. You do the work. 😁
