This week I discovered adding Biscoff spread to porridge. This could be dangerous.

People often ask me, how do I feel about working in the Bene Gesserit pain box factory, designing devices whose only purpose is to synthesise excruciating pain? Well I say I get to work on a product with best-in-field UX and an extraordinary recognition factor

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #PostmanPat 2. Yes, if the first game wasn't bad enough there are more. Deliver letters, help your neighbours and wander around before you run out of 'tea power'. Get this man some Red Bull. He may stand a chance of completing the day, then

I've had Bruce Dickinson's new album The Mandrake Project on repeat today. Excellent stuff, well worth the wait.

In Pratchett's Thief of Time, the Auditors of Reality grind down artwork in the museum to find out what makes it art. But all they can find are pigments and binder. And they are SO ANGRY.

This is what these AI art people remind me of. They really don't understand what makes art special and are angry that they don't have it.

The government's plan to reduce hospital waiting times by upgrading MRI scanners with AI has the same ring to it as their previous plan to resolve brexit customs issues with blockchain.

Big chuckle listening to the new audiobook of Men At Arms read by John Culshaw, employing his Boris Johnson impression for the voice of Bloody Stupid Johnson.

On a personal note, I've been doing this OWA shiz for 3 years now, but not the hard grind. I've just done the glory stuff (press, meet the governments, do the conf talks). The whole team of once-strangers (now comrades) and the support we've received from the whole dev community (that's YOU) has invigorated me. There is real power in people uniting for a common purpose: a free, open web, accessible and available to *all*. We haven't won, but we are winning - thank you. xxx

Now that I'm using a Wyse 5070 as my home server and only turning on my HP Microserver when its needed, my house's base load is under 100 watts. Quite pleased with that.
