Ben Wallace in short:

BW: We’ll give Ukraine what it needs.

UA: We need fighter jets.

BW: No you don’t.

Hmm …

The cat just went over to the HomePod mini on my desk, meowed at it, and Siri said "sure here is some music for you" and the cat perched on the window sill listening to Garbage and Elliott Smith.

I just want to know how long this has been going on.

Extremely pleased to report that I have completed an update and tidying-up of all my smarthome stuff: I've decomissioned the Fibaro HC2 controller, which has been brilliant for a decade, but is clunky and esoteric, and migrated everything to a Homey bridge, which is much slicker. All my lights are now Hue, which I run through the Homey bridge, plus a few other bits and pieces - the aircon, the Nest devices, some smartplugs and wall switches.

Here’s an excellent junior/mid level C sharp and Power BI developer, lots of big data set/SQL experience, looking for a job (& a lovely person tho maybe I’m biased…) https://uk.linkedin.com/in/alice-cellan-jones-064094193?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.uk%2F

Daphne would like to announce the publication of her explosive tell-all memoir.

The six-part Netflix series, 97-part podcast and intimate sit-down interviews with Oprah and Tom Bradby will follow shortly.

this new instance isn't much federated, so please boost this belly

problem seems to be a borked webcam, which I have fixed by plugging in another webcam
I'm off this week (why yes, I am very pleased with myself for having booked that) and this means I can, er, sit at my desk and faff about on my computers. *sigh*

The list of people I’m supposed to believe are “anti-elitists” already includes:
1. A property-speculator, who inherited his money, became President and lives in a gold house; and
2. A monocle-wearing Old Etonian who owns a hedge fund;

Now I’m asked to believe I should add a misogynist with a £4m car who believes cigars make him cool to the list.
