Random InfoSec guy (mostly architecture) screaming at the world. Maybe a bit of running, politics and puns dotted in there too.

Toots set to auto-delete after 30 days (for server space and so stuff doesn't come back to haunt me years later)

@jonathankoren @zeldman But they've never been open this greatly before...

Some would say they weren't open before... all I know is that they are now the most open they've ever been. So open, in fact, that other Straits look at ours and want to be this open...

All those influencers thinking they were going to have some original content for once...

@randahl Ugh... you Danes are so picky. You don't seem to want unsuccessful business people and you don't seem to want successful ones either...
@bloor Uh oh... are we going to have to start calling you "Nine-bit Bloor"?
@randahl That Christian teaching "Bomb thy neighbour"
@randahl Yes, except it took so long to reopen the Strait that most Arabic countries decided to give up on oil and instead realised - with a bit of infrastructure investment - they could export solar energy (and solar-charged batteries) a lot easier than the dead dinosaur goo.
@GossiTheDog E7 to the rescue!!

The problem with the whole "the PM doesn't answer my question" complaint is that most questions asked aren't really intending to be questions (i.e. genuinely finding out information they do not currently know). Most questions asked at PMQs are meant as some tactic to get a particular soundbite or trap the PM into something/a confession to match your viewpoint.

I'm not sure the Tories really want to poke the "strange things that just coincidentally happen to mobile phones" nest...

Far-fetched to think McSweeney faked phone theft, says Sir Keir Starmer

Messages relating to Lord Peter Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador could have been lost in the alleged theft.

@DJDarren Nebula has easily conquered our TV viewing in our household. I'd say easily 85%+ of stuff we watch is from Nebula creators (a few Builder/Maker-type content creators we still make the effort to go back to YT for as the Maker community isn't quite as prevalent on Nebula - so hope that changes in future). Otherwise we've ditched most other streaming services because we just weren't watching them/we got SOOOO bored of the adverts.

It does, however, mean I'm terrible in the typical "Oh you MUST watch this new series on Netflix!!" conversations with colleagues!
