EE/Money Saving Expert sales once again knocking my door, apparently BT are doing “the internet updates” in the coming weeks. I almost admire the bullshit they feed their door to door sales people to do market research on who’s with which ISP.

SaaS based building energy analysis, one of the few jobs in which you occasionally have to interact with Kubernetes and Windows XP in the same day. (I hasten to note the Windows XP machine had no Internet connection)

Possibly the biggest benefit of moving from a Ruby shop to a Python one a few years ago is that I don’t have to keep up with what DHH is up to.

Another law I would pass if someone put me in charge: Car alarms can only sound for a maximum of five minutes, after which they have to enter a cooldown period of at least 30 minutes before sounding again.

I don’t think I’ll ever get used to having mobile data deep in the London Underground tunnels, truly living in the future here.
