Climbed for the first time in several weeks yesterday and my shoulders are really letting me know about it today. Don’t skip exercise for a while and then jump straight back in where you were before folks.

I just had an ad tell me Nando’s are “shaping the future with AI”, I can only assume they mean a different Nando’s because the one I know sells chicken.

Acast have decided I’m German. This is wonderful because I can tune out all the podcast ads much easier when they’re in a language I don’t speak.

Come on Sky. You and I both know that selling 900Mbps-5Gbps connections as being best for 4K streaming is only true if what you’re streaming is the raw video from every single camera covering a sports stadium.

James Hoffman demolishing a terrible coffee machine really was a treat to experience over breakfast.

@davep @mdione ahh, the old South African duck hustle.

One of my favourite bits of the EMF lead up is the point at which the Unaffiliated Village, an anarchic collective of whoever felt like attaching themselves to meet some new people, achieves self-organisation.

It starts as nothing more than a registered village and a link to (this year) a Signal group, and by the time gates open it’s 20 odd people who’ve got a communal tent, things to sit on, and this year a Tim Curry Shouting SPAAACE flag.

The boy’s school have very generously assisted in EMF preparation by taking him and 60 or so other children to Cornwall for the weekend. The opportunity to lock myself away for a few days and get shit done really couldn’t have come at a better time! (Just got to get through a day of doing my real job first)

It took 82 minutes for an EMF discussion to get from “just put a sign on the door” to “lorawan button available which is quite expensive and will require custom software”. We’re losing our touch, that should have been under 20.

I’m once again regretting not booking an extra week off work before EMF as I contend with an extra full time job on top of having a child and my usual full time job.
