Alas I have been slain. By chilli jam. Just as we entered London. Must be a no go zone.

On Monday, one traffic cone. On Tuesday, two traffic cones. Based on the dataset we can extrapolate that Edinburgh must signify the days of the week by adding traffic cones to the Duke of Wellington statue. That or we should probably ensure we have enough data to form the right conclusions.

Got out of bed, had breakfast and now on my way to Edinburgh! Should get there around 10:30pm and will probably be starving! Anyone know of any good food places open?

Morning! Honestly didn’t realise how much giving blood yesterday would drain me! Other than eat, watch F1 and F1 Academy I slept through all yesterday. Gonna rest more today. An interesting thing is that a nurse said that you burn 600 calories when you give blood. One to remember next time.

New profile pic. What we reckon?

A brown l, olive skinned, mixed race man stares into the camera wearing a black tank top. The man has black hair shaved in a no3 all over, dark brown, almost black eyes and a black beard with hints of grey hair in it. He lies on his front on white bed sheets with one shoulder showing the sun shine on his black viper tattoo.

Morning! It’s been a bit of a week and I haven’t managed any exercise again! So I’ve used the busy adjustment in Runna and extended out my plan by a couple of extra week. I should be resting today and tomorrow anyway because I’m giving blood today. #training #running

It’s crazy to think the little boy’s dream was to reply to various emails and LinkedIn messages that while I’m sure they do indeed have a product that will change the world, I will politely decline the demo. Living the dream

I’m going to start by saying AI is an incredibly useful tool. In Digital Forensics, automated tooling increases productivity where time is short. But they would need to verify the findings these tools produce if used as evidence. We need to do more of that with AI in software.

When asked who was the last prime minister to be both elected into and voted out of office in the England and Wales, AI replied Margaret Thatcher with strict reasoning of each PM prior to explain why they were not suitable.

However when asked who replaced Margaret Thatcher as PM the reply was John Major. Previously the AI had said Margaret Thatcher was voted out and succeeded by Tony Blair in 1997

When stated that if John Major replaced Margaret Thatcher then that cannot be the right answer the AI agrees and instead offers John Major to be the last PM for this to happen to, despite John Major being PM for two years before people voted him in.

After some deliberation we find that Edward Heath is the last PM.

Ever wanted to do something nice by cooking a 3 course meal for your partner or friend but aren’t sure on where to start? All of this came to just over a tenner in Aldi (not an ad just where I bought it), strawberries from M&S. It only takes a max of 10 mins per course to cook.

This is my easy pace on a hot summers day. Everyone’s easy pace will be different. Mine might be different from day to day, even in the same conditions. It’s what you find easy. Good to get out in the beautiful sunshine for a 7km before work started. #running #ukrunchat #brighton #runningpunks

Clear blue sea matches a clear blue sky with wisps of white cloud, touching a slight orange / pink of sunset. The picture is taken from one end of a rocky cove and you can see the other cove arm.

Well……. That escalated quickly!

When asking a Generative AI search what press F to pay respects meant, after giving four examples, it then repeats “This meme has also been used in various other contexts, such as in a discussion about the origins of the meme” with the same reference number enough to fill the page.

Remember kids, Python prints f to pay respects

A screenshot of PyCharm IDE with a file called respects.py

Inside the file the code stores “f to pay respects” in a variable respects. This variable is then used the following print command: print(f”Pressing {respects}”) four times.

Cosmos - Take Me With You. I remember buying the vinyl of this in 2002 when I was 19. Remember playing it and seeing many people dance in sweaty clubs with big smiles on their faces. Pretty awesome to see some 23 years later 19 year olds doing the same with 40-50 year olds. Good music is timeless ❤️

We’ve managed to swap out the nice bed sheets for a dust sheet we don’t care about to make the cat hammock. Buffy approves. We’re still down a laundry hanger though

Not sure how long it will stay like this but good to see the wood part of the desk for the first time in 3.5 years 😬🙌

An L shaped wood desk with a Corsair K68 rainbow keyboard, ergonomic mouse, MacBook Pro laptop and a 24 inch monitor. Also known as the desk are three books. The New Age of Sexism by Laura Bates, Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates, and Serious Cryptography 2nd Edition by JP Aumasson. There is also a wood puzzle, various external hard drives, power cables and Ortofon vinyl stylus and cartridges. On the other L of the desk is another MacBook Pro adorned with stickers, a fox cuddly toy from Akimbo Core and an Octopus cuddly toy from the Argo CD project
