@boffbowsh Yes I recommend, but your experience is going to depend heavily on the instructor and who they're aiming it at. When I did it before it was through my cycling club, and it was definitely type 2 fun. Fantastic for strength and flexibility. This new group is the typical mostly middle […]

Went to a pilates class for the first time in a very long time last night. The instructor was lovely, but at one point she made the mistake of asking me how something made me feel. I'm trying to learn a new physical skill. This requires at least 150% of my concentration. You may notice that's […]

Bang once for yes, twice for no is a bad scheme. If the distraught listener jumps the gun because you're banging too slowly they can get 2 yeses when you meant no. If you ever need to communicate with me when I'm a ghost I suggest 3 for yes, 5 for no, which doesn't suffer this ambiguity.

Looks like #Plex just dropped another major app update across platforms. Presumably they've learned a lesson from the cluster fuck of the last one, because this one seems like a welcome improvement so far.

Sun King from Abbey Road just came up in a random playlist so it wasn't immediately followed by Mean Mr Mustard. This was deeply, disturbingly wrong, so I'm now listening to Abbey Road from the start to exorcise.

I was interested to know why precisely the Orange Order feels they should be allowed to parade down Garvaghy Road. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drumcree_conf… I would summarise this as: The Orange Order was founded in 1795 with the explicit goal of being a bunch of massive twats. They […]

It's always easy to assume that people doing something you don't understand are being fantastically stupid. Like the Tories promising to end the £100,000 salary cutoff for child benefit. In the current climate, their headline policy is to increase benefits payments to people earning over £100 […]

Was just reminded of Dance of the Knights. I remember watching Romeo and Juliet by the Royal Ballet. I didn't actually know it contained this wonderful and incredibly famous piece of music. I was struck by how incongruous it was, at least to me. It was like Prokofiev had done about as much […]

Atomic OS images are awesome. I just noticed that one of the nodes in my home lab was down. Checked the logs, searched for the error message, discovered that it was a #Cilium bug triggered by the 7.2 kernel upgrade. I run #Fedora CoreOS in my lab, so rolling back to the previous OS image was […]

Shower thought on reading "buzzing like a perfectly tuned bass string". Surely within quite a wide range a bass string sounds good however it is tuned. A bass string on its own doesn't need to be tuned. 2 bass strings need to be tuned. And to play well with others they need to conform to some […]
