Rock Night at Leeds Knights tonight and no need for fancy dress, I just needed to riffle through all that stuff I’ve been hoarding since the 90s, to create a 53yrd old version of how I looked in my first year at Uni (before I found Madchester & Carter)

I dipped back into Twitter (rather than just cross posting to it) for the first time in many months. I miss you guys!

Not sure who made this, but probably the most accurate representation of the current state of tech to date

If the shark was on fire, this would be 100% on point...

Late at night in McDs, everyone is a little drunk. Order 67 just hit a louder cheer than order 69. Our generation is cooked!

I’ve seen many gigs at the o2 Leeds, many crap (it’s a terrible venue) but tonight’s Kneecap gig, I can only think of Carter supported by CUD with a Tom Hingley cameo supported by the BSVDat the after show, that have been better! Too night night lads!

A wardrobe designed to confuse (and probably anger) many football casuals, for Kneecap tonight . Mixing Spezial with a kiffyeh, which has the unintended consequence of me looking like a walking Palestinian flag! #KneeCap #FreePalestine #NoPasaran #FLAF

I know to a lot of you this is like ‘huh, I did that 3 times already this week’ but I just remixed my first STL and it didn’t just print fine, it fulfilled the purpose I designed it for! I bet even my Ice Hockey friends can work out what’s it for (it a remix of a stick topper)

MiSTer CRT output for no reason than I needed somewhere quick and dirty to host the image

The compromise to have to make when you kid plays for one team, but supports a different one!

No ball hockey tonight, instead we’re watching Knights at Steeldogs. I can’t remember the last time he had an entire day without skates (or some kind) on his feet or a stick in his hand.

This ridiculousness of 80s cabling leads to me doing some deeply uncomfortable things. The red connector is a 240v feed. The white connector (same connector, different colour) just goes to a power switch. So I made a switch bypass which would be VERY bad in the wrong socket!

Cross generation pop-culture is weird, in the latest Fortnite expansion my son recognised Scooby-Doo, Scream , Weds Adams and Jason Voorheese (how?!), but had never heard the Knight Rider theme before! youtu.be/AlABOZhCCqU?...

I know I’ve almost quit social media and now just cross-post to 3 platforms, but should I restart #HackerFastFood somewhere (if so, which platform … except the Nazi bar?)

The amazing junior volunteers at @bsidesncl.bsky.social used the sticker box to help raise a staggering £1463.74 ! Well done everyone! Next stop, @bsideslondon.bsky.social ! (If anyone in the North is driving to BSidesLondon, and could do a huge favour transporting the box, let us know!)

Sunday: Ice Hockey Game Monday: Roller Hockey Practice Tuesday: Skating Lesson Wednesday: Ice Hockey Practice Thursday: Day Off Friday: Ball Hockey Practice Saturday: Ice Hockey Game Guess what he wanted to do on his day off…..

Just watched Kel do his first shift in the U14s. First time with full contact ice hockey, first time with no gates, first time with ‘anytime’ changes, against one of the most physical teams in the league … and I’m so proud of the effort he put it!

Your regular reminder that if you crop out Mr Rumbold's ears you get Adrian Edmondson.

Well @leetaylor.uk @lancashirehotpots.bsky.social ? What time is it? #PWEI !

Glad that Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for the fight and understands the danger.

So, rumours that Burnham is going to challenge Starmer. Five years ago Burnham leading Labour was the thing I wanted most in politics, now all I can think is if I was THAT wrong about Starmer, then Burham could be as bad, and I’d have lost another genuine hero!

Seeing Pro-Fascism (well, anti-anti-fascism) posts on BlueSky is REALLY testing my ability to ‘block and don’t engage’ today!

It’s simple, if you’re not #Antifa you’re a fascist

Kel has found a new way to ensure all my money goes to puckstop! (In his defence, he sold a load of toys to pay most of it himself …. But I know, skates as just the start of the expense)

First up at @dc151.org Doonan (who I can’t find a BlueSky account for) on InfoStealers

You can try to silence genocide but the harder you try the louder it speaks. We will not Be silent #FreePalestine

Last weekend the amazing folks at @bsidesbristol.org.uk used the sticker still (along with a raffle) to raise an amazing £4000 for charity! What’s more, the sticker box spawned a sibling, which should be making its debut at BSides Belfast!

Reporting a new Banksy mural which attacks the legal system for criminalizing protests against genocide, the BBC adds "the graffiti has been covered up and guarded". Thanks Dad.

Anyone have any ideas what the connector is, it’s about 1cm across (maybe slightly smaller)

All hail Nigel ‘Pernod’ Barnes (again) I know I now use my MiSTer as my primary 8-bit emulator, but this has been broken in Mame for the longest time (and it’s not like Elite is a rarity nobody played’)

It felt weird at first, but 2pm gigs should be the norm! Cracking afternoon at the Brudenell for KATG and I’ll be fine at 8:30am for work tomorrow!

Heya @lancashirehotpots.bsky.social ! I’m at a weird matinee performance at @nathbrudenell.bsky.social by @kuntandthegang.bsky.social And his half-time music is a Hotpots megamix! Chippy Tea followed by Ikea!

Any of my Northern friends (or at least are in the North in the next 5 days) heading to BSides Bristol ? I have a MASSIVE (but hopefully simple) favour to ask.

Hacker Frens! (And I guess general geeks and even military folk). I have a new rucksack with a tonne of Velcro on the back for ‘battle/morale patches’. What are your favourite hacker/geek patches and where can I get them?

That authentic Canadian experience in Epcot, an alleged French-Canadian band knock out American songs whilst I drink a Canadian German-Pilsner and eating whatever this haloimi abomination claiming to Poutine is! The most Canadian thing here is Kel’s Bauer cap!

It’s niche, but it was a fancy dress I always felt I could pull off.

I’m ded! In one of the retro film stores in Universal and Kel just saw a Breakfast Club poster and exclaimed ‘Dad! Dad! It’s the coach from Mighty Ducks!’

Sat in Krusty Burger with a Krusty Burger combo and a Buzz Cola. Will head next door to Moe’s for a Duff

Oh this is glorious: Journalist @zoecrowther.bsky.social using Bluesky seeks DMs from people impacted by the Online Safety Act… but impacted people cannot use DM on Bluesky https://alecmuffett.com/article/114348

I was in this bar with a very different bunch of folks just over a week ago. This time heading to Disney in Orlando rather than DefCon in Vegas

I adopted another ‘upgraded for mame’ cabinet, had been converted to single player USB controls, lcd screen, horrible side art and marquee etc. Thankfully the seller included s lot of the original parts, so in just 1hr it looks lot better already www.instagram.com/reel/DNQxMq1...

Breakfast Pizza! Not quite Luppy’s Full English Pizza, but it’ll fill a corner!

The series of ‘Glenn getting recognised by actual famous cyber people’ at DefCon. And Dual Core to that’s list! I was so star-struck I forget to get a selfie!

DefCon just doing what DefCon just does

12 months on, to absent friends (and those still the wrong side of baggage drop)
