Yesterday, women and children from Ukraine Appeal Charity and Sunflower Supplemental School have performed at the historical Bletchley Park, in honour of the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2.

Somehow, reading @lwndotnet.bsky.social on the Boox AirC is much more pleasant with Firefox than Chrome. Neither of them supports choosing font weight though, just size. I would have just increased weight for the eink screen.

Listen, no, this is definitely some sort of coordinated inauthentic behaviour.

The the *fuck* are you up against, Wikipedia? Because this is Taboola-level clickbait.

Okay, I'm definitely old enough that FreeAgent reminds me of something else entirely... #OldUsenetFart

This building is having an identity crisis. Is it The Gunnersbury or @garius.bsky.social ?

Don't forget, Automattic would want you to pay for their Stats offering, which still does this, for the past five years at least. flameeyes.blog/2023/09/24/w...

Screenshot from Jetpack Stats that says 72 visits were from "WordPress Android App". The breakdown in the details show 68 were from the Google Search app, 3 from LinkedIn app, and 1 from Reddit app, so none actually from WordPress.

I'm not sure if it's the case but I choose to make @techconnectify.bsky.social responsible for the BBC having this article…

I couldn't stop but think of @techconnectify.bsky.social

I think this could possibly have been used by an ancestor of @scalzi.com back in Italy.

I remember how excited I have been for this one, @dirkmaggs.bsky.social! And another group picture of great people!

Screenshot of a Facebook memory from 9 years ago, sharing a BBC article reporting the Good Omens Radio 4 dramatisation.

The highlight picture is a photo of Neil Gaiman, Dirk Maggs, and Terry Pratchett.

You know, my favourite part on a warm day is sitting down and having a drink. A nice oolong tea, rather than the usual fizzy one is a welcome change. No sugars, no sweeteners, all the caffeine. flameeyes.blog/2021/07/20/if-you-pa…

A can of Japanese oolong tea, a half full glass of cold oolong tea with ice.

I remember drinking tons of these for two weeks straight when I was visiting Google Shanghai -- and now my wife found this in a store that opened not far from home. My life is either improved or ruined. I *love* this thing. Maybe I'll give up Pepsi Max for it.
