Has anyone successfully managed to submit a proposal to #bsdcan? @bsdcan it has to be done through a system called Indico which appears to be incapable of sending email so you can't sign up. Got no response from emailing the organisers.

I'm not convinced this is a beer than anyone wants or needs #realale #cakeale

Any of the #electronics and #synthesiser gurus on here familiar with the audio output circuitry on Yamaha SY #synths (especially SY35)? When the volume pot is adjusted, it goes to the desired level then usually the sound slowly fades away to nothing. With a […] [Original post on justfollow.me.uk]

I made myself a sweet new ID card

2nd December 2020 On the day the second national lockdown ends, the statue of Saint John the Evangelist above the Great Gate of St John’s College receives festive embellishment from night-climbing students. Picture from my book 'Cambridge - Time & Space'.

Was having a lovely Sunday lunch opposite a fish tank in a local pub when "Barry" swam up and sucked himself onto the glass

Does anyone use Luna #daw for mixing recorded #livemusic? #homestudio I've used the free base version so far, but there's some good Black Friday offers on native plugins. I'm curious to know people's experience.

The apple tree I planted a couple of years ago hasn't exactly thrived, but it did produce (just) one perfect cute apple this year. Finger for scale

Controversial view overheard at breakfast in the B&B this morning from a member of the Great British public: The second world war was nothing to do with us. We shouldn't have got involved, Poland could have sorted it out by themselves

Now, that's my sort of #caskale establishment

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Edent/115610360499085279 "It is an iron law of the universe that hardware companies simply can't make decent software." Said everyone who's ever dealt with installing a manufacturer printer driver.

So that's milkshakes and flavoured milk ruined by the #ukpol nanny state. I would happily pay the 19.4p/l levy to avoid being poisoned by artificial sweeteners (cf. genuine Coca-Cola levy at McDonalds), but that won't be an option I suspect based on Ribena, Rubicon, Rio, etc. all being made […]

Another pointless puff-piece from #cambridge News "New gastropub with focus on local produce opens in Cambridgeshire village" Beers are all mass-produced and none are local (there are plenty of local breweries both keg and cask near Fulbourn): Guiness = Ireland Estrella = Spain via Bedford […]

I wonder how many other #netbsd devs got this spam? Hello Stephen, Many companies are using AI to reduce routine work and accelerate decision-making. Is NetBSD planning to implement AI initiatives this year? We support teams in starting with small pilot projects that demonstrate their value […]

They're all over #uspol at the Cambridge Union

At the Tower of London, you get a whole different class of bouncer kicking you out at the end of the evening

We're at the Tower of London for the #nominet Christmas do. Great view of Tower Bridge!

Thanks #cloudflare for demonstrating to @theregister why centralisation is bad

Is everyone OK for dog plastic?

This is a really weird story and certainly wasn't on my bingo card for news stories this week. "Several veterans and serving officers have expressed their concerns [...] that the man [...] may not have been a Rear Admiral - and may not have earned all the medals he was wearing." […]

Just another typical British day doing something that dates back to 1215 #ladymayorsparade #currentaffairs

This is very _good_ decoy as it really does look like a proper golf course #scunthorpe

If you're ever bored, you can while away some time amusing yourself at the UK government's petitions website by looking at the list of rejected petitions.

It's pretty weird that if you buy an Innocent smoothie it comes with a tiny knitted bobble hat. For each sale they donate 30p to Age UK. If you don't want the little hat, you can send it back via Freepost (i.e. they pay for the return postage) and they reuse […] [Original post on justfollow.me.uk]

#orienteering races have changed since the days of 1970s sitcoms

I completely agree with this woman's cause fighting against destruction of a heritage orchard to make way for a busway, but her strategy wasn't too smart: '[Cambridgeshire County Council] highlighted an example in her written submission of a reference she made to an article about the impact of […]

#TIL there's a spot in Scunthorpe where you can see 3 Greggs stores to your left, right and ahead #northernlife

"Doctor explains only certain way to tell if you have flu or Covid" Guess what the answer to this clickbait is: "The only way to be certain whether you have the flu or coronavirus is to take a Covid test" https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/health/doctor-explains-only-certain-way-32686295

At least it's not personal to the UK this time: "As of 1 January 2026, we will introduce a Digital Service Fee (DSF) for all products and services provided by Indeed to customers in the UK. The DSF reflects increased operating costs associated with Digital Service Tax legislation in the UK […]

#lego wall plaque seen outside Lloyds Back in Gosport, UK

Tudors tell it like it is on their weaponry (with apologies to the #maryrose) "The sonnes of an Inglissh made this bastard"

Oh great, now there's a bat in the bedroom and it's going absolutely bananas. #sweetdreams

When I was around 6 I had an eye test at school, said I couldn't read the letters with my left eye and was told "you're just tired, go back to class". Amblyopia needs to get picked up before the age of 7 when the development of vision is still in its elastic phase. By the time I started wearing […]

I think this proves that the eponymous song was The Only Rhyme That Bites #totp
