No thanks to Royal Mail delaying it for nearly two weeks by sending it to a different county, but my @steampowered.com controller finally came. It’s really very nice to hold.

Papped a very good boy on the train home from work earlier

A very cute mid sized dog with long hair, sat with its paws together under a seat on a mostly empty train, looking at the camera.

I thought I’d disabled notifications from the dark place but apparently not, and after well over a year of nothing it just decided to share this with me

A screenshot of an iPhone Home Screen, cropped to just show the latest notification, which is from twitter- showing a suggested tweet from user that I don’t follow that simple says ‘Kill yourself’

Semi-obligatory hospital photo from yesterday, shortly after getting my gall bladder removed. The NHS is a wonderful thing.

A selfie of yours truly in a hospital bed, looking a little confused, understandable given that the general anaesthetic was still wearing off. I’m wearing a hospital gown and my hair is looking quite bouffant.

really should have googled this earlier. anyway, finally, I can use ISO 8601's extended format

A screenshot of a modal window from macOS's finder application showing the information of a directory folder. It shows the name as "2025-05-31 11꞉30". Normally colon characters aren't allowed in file or directory names due to some unix/bsd command line gui weirdness. Idk

The lovely wife and yours truly at Pompeii. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

Two people- my wife and I, taking a selfie in the main square in the ruins of Pompeii. Vesuvius is in the background. I am wearing a T-shirt that has the words ‘Human’ where each letter is made up of various pride flags.

Picked the perfect time to go to Italy, when it’s 5° warmer back at home. Can’t beat the setting though.

A photo of a road in southern Italy leading up to a villa. Various types of trees line the sides of the road, almost obscuring the buildings from view. The sky is cloudless and a lovely deep blue.

Just don’t do what I did in my last role like that and conflate the two! 🫠

I absolutely cannot justify getting this right now but this is a very nice simple piece of design grovemade.com/product/wool...

An illustration of one of Grovemade's new 'Studio pad', a desk mat with a wooden tray for pens that goes along the top of it. It has a keyboard, mouse and notebook on it. It also has a gap behind the tray with a lip where you can put your iPad or notebook and it'll stand upright at a slight angle to point at you while you work. Surrounding it are other desk items such as postit notes, scissors, a cup of coffee and behind it, a mac and computer monitor.

We already have Young Einstein and that's basically the same thing. Cool? Cool

A poster from the 1988 comedy film 'Young Einstein' showing a long-haired actor (Yahoo Serious) being zapped with electricity while playing an electric guitar that looks like it's been pieced together from all sorts of other items

Forget LLMs, the biggest energy use this year will be all the Apple TV users leaving their screens on the Snoopy screensaver (guilty)

Haven’t watched it for a while but is it just me that thinks the font on the University Challenge scoreboard looks very odd? Thought my parents’ in law’s tv had some janky upscaling going on

The number 95 shown on a scoreboard where both characters have very odd tails and bowls to the shape of them

The number 100 shown on a scoreboard where the ‘zero’ characters have a very odd shape to them

Of course I didn’t get what I really wanted

Only 6/7? Embarrassing. I’m more of a cat person but still realbirdfakebird.com

An award given by the website realbirdfakebird.com showing the score for the daily competition. In this case I recognise the name of 6 out of 7 dogs and the image contains text that reflects that. There is also a small simple illustration of a bird painting on an easel

The wife has started to put up the Christmas tree and it felt like a good day to feel festive

A photo showing a (not-yet decorated) Christmas tree next to a tv showing the film ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol’. The screen shows Gonzo the Great (dressed in Victorian clothes playing Charles Dickens) and Rizzo the Rat eating apples with the caption ‘welcome to the Muppet Christmas Carol’.

Anyway, spent the evening with kittens for some budget mental health therapy #cats

A lightly striped grey and white cat looks at the camera while sat on a soft cushion

An orange and white cats, purring away, looks up a little sleepily from laying in a cat basket as someone off-camera gently pets their head

A striped cat lays sleepily on a rug after bringing its (apparently) favourite toy, a small stuffed octopus plush, along with it.

Managed to find some of my Christmas mugs, the festive period can begin

Three Emma Bridgewater style mugs, each with graphics of warm mittens in different colours, at the front of a shelf containing many other mugs and other coffee paraphernalia

We could repost some of them here and bring down the vibe I guess

Teams is so great, I love it and every other product that Microsoft puts out right now, especially when it stops me from being able to contact my colleagues. Long may this continue

Ohhhh it gets me very well

It’s a bit grey out so here’s some nice photos of flowers I took around this time of year back in 2021

Some puffy red flowers against a background of leaves in an outside garden. I’m pretty sure they’re dahlias.

A close up of some puffy pink, yellow and purple flowers against a background of leaves in an outside garden that I’m pretty sure are dahlias.

Hi Bleeps! 👋 Hard to nail it down to one, but if put on the spot, The Princess Bride would be it. It’s epic, wholesome, with fantastic villains and the greatest team of heroes you could ask for.

Someone bought us these rather lovely cappuccino cups that I’d put on our wedding list and they’ve finally arrived from over the pond. Definitely makes for happier #coffee drinking

Four cappuccino cups and their saucers in four different colours. They’re smaller than regular mugs but have a nice wide rim
