linux is the answer (probably)
welcome to my world. I seem to spend a surprisingly large amount of my time collecting data from random server apis and grinding it into webmap-friendly formats.
If you fancy something a bit stricter than js, typescript is an interesting diversion.
I would guess it goes against historical 'small government' approach and as desire for government to stay in their lane. In the 60-70s gov did own lots of infrastructure (BT, post office, Leyland, water, electricity, trains, gas etc) but was all sold off.
The Grumpy Oaf YouTube channel is now live, hosting precisely one intro video featuring yours truly. Just had a bout of flu, so now I no longer look like a ghost, the YT sausage machine shall enter full production.

I've used kdenlive for the past few years. it helped a lot to watch their howto videos as video editing workflow is a bit odd.
don't listen to me, I got cat8 for my low speed wifi network and cat5 for the 2.5g home network. Amazingly, it's all working fine (touch wood).
Have a look at American coldwar foreign policy, what they're doing at the moment isn't hugely different to what they've done in the past.
You are me and I claim my £5.
I bought a 256gb SD for my old phone and my music library just about fits on that. It's a shame the phone's headphone socket doesn't hold my headphones that securely.

I recovered my cd collection onto jellyfin during covid and have a couple of big playlists for my ipod. It's great to have music that's actually yours and wont disappear for no good reason. Good fun crate diving on discogs, ebay and youtube ;)
We did it!
#CLAWPUNK is officially out now on now on PC, Xbox, PS5, and Switch! I’m over the moon with the response so far, and excited for what may come next!!

When I did recruitment at lionhead, we abandoned tech interviews and just spoke to candidates about their experiences and coding motivations. The company closed down about 10 years after I left, so I'd like to think it went ok as a process.
I bought a couple of used aerons when I started freelancing in 2005, they're still going strong. The nice thing is when parts fail, you can get new ones.
A box of LEGO mini figures
Lots of boxes full of Lego bricks
Sorted out the kit for my forthcoming Play Your PhD workshop with the Flood CDT students.
Inspired by LEGO SERIOUS PLAY, the workshop develops participants' imagination as a skill and shows them how to use their research to help others see the unseen.
mmmm face lighting
To the students getting their results tomorrow - good luck! Here's something for us parents: educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2025/08/nine...
oh dear.
you were living in the future even back in 1990. A guy on my undergrad had one of these:
how good does it need to be?
If you're a professor or postdoc stuck in “maybe I’ll leave academia… maybe I won’t,” I made something for you. A free live reflection workshop to think it through, with no pressure to decide (and no sales pitch). Register now or share with someone who needs this.
beers before or after the lecture?
it did seem very random, having a football manager espousing the value of tape2tape recording ;).
Nice to see the endorsement from Terry Venables. I take it this was after Lord Sugar bought spurs.
I'm excited to reveal #UnseenDiplomacy2 and showcase what @triangularpixels.com has been working on. We are still hard at work creating a game we think you will enjoy, and more will be shown in the future!
Champions of the free and unpaywalled diamond open access model overlook the vast amount of unpaid academic labour that underpins such titles, says departing editor
#AcademicSky #EduSky
Almost half of academics say they have been deliberately prevented from accessing research resources or career opportunities by “Gollum-like” rivals in their field, a new study suggests
#AcademicSky #highered
fwiw, I've used online sites for academic printing in the past.
So, so proud of my amazing wife @fi www.thebookseller.com/rights/harpe...
