I gave a talk today (Sunday 12th Oct 2025) at the National Convention of the Radio Society of Great Britain. I was recovering from a horrible virus, so my performance wasn't quite up to my normal standard, and the lighting was a bit weird. Huge fun though. It was great to meet up with folks I haven't seen for many years. I was definitely flagging a bit in the last 15 minutes of the talk! Lots of other great talks in the livestream for today and Saturday 11th Oct

Nate Cull (.social)Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
I did another thing on the Youtubez about how I spent my grandkids' inheritance on a two-ton killer robot. Or "CNC Mill" if you prefer a less hyperbolic descriptor. https://youtu.be/atFe8L3guWI

I fucking hate the masks, but I wear them. People give you dirty looks. I dare anybody to give me a dirty look. I would just say, "Hey, you know what? I'm Stevie Nicks. And if I get sick, my entire thing goes down. Forty families are out of work. So that's why I have a mask on, asshole."

Stevie Nicks is completely out of fucks: Where do you prefer that I sit? You're good right there, as long as you don't think you have Covid. No, I don't. Well, thank goodness we're done [touring] for a while, so I can go home and not have a mask on all the time. As a singer with asthma, I fucking hate the masks, but I wear them.
