iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I am on a few block lists, which means people I have never interacted with block me. Fair enough. I like my Bluesky, other people like theirs.

Interested in a bit of the history behind the Chief Minister appointment today? It's a bit dated (the removal of MLCs from the process happened as anticipated), but may still be of interest: edgelawblog.com/2018/01/05/t...

The House of Keys’ vote on the process of appointing the Chief Minister.

Responsible government came late to the Isle of Man. The landmark reforms of 1866, linked to the coming of democratic elections to the Isle of Man for the first time, were a long way from responsib…

I think it's fair to say the Acting Deemster was seriously unimpressed. I'm not sure "gun to the head" used metaphorically is routinely part of the judicial lexicon.

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

Different system, but I've taught a bunch of PhDs transferring to law, and in recent years that qualification has become an LLM. They seem to enjoy it, particularly the career academics watching us teach them law.

My take on the 2026 election results: gender balance, newcomers, the continued lack of party institutionalisation, standing for two seats at once, and whether Daniel Davison really is the youngest MHK ever. edgelawblog.com/2026/09/26/t...

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

I have had a busy, and very varied, day across research, teaching and university admin, but my proudest moment was probably persuading a locked photocopier to take some paper without needing to put in a service ticket to have it reloaded.
