I'm a bit of a fan of the @hdtgm.bsky.social podcast, but I'm a few films behind atm. Tonight's catch-up film was an 80s-tastic skateboarding film.

Busy bank holiday weekend, mostly spending time with the kids. Last night I finished by catching up with the latest @hdtgm.bsky.social film - Mind Hunters. Have to say, this one was pretty bad

There's something very wrong with the UK. How is it you can get a multipack of pickled onion monster munch, but not the spicy ones!!!

Ok, I'm almost certainly going to regret this, but I've added Japanese to the list of languages I'm learning. What could _possibly_ go wrong. It's only one of the most complex languages in the world....

Thank Dog. Doctor Who is coming back Christmas 2026. I was worried we were looking at another cancellation. Nice to know it isn't the end

My oldest is off school ill today, so we're watching The Truman Show together. Great film, but it feels like there was a version of this that could have been super dark. All of Truman's friends & family are just paid actors. That's a pretty grim thought.

I'm watching the new series of #DoctorWho with my daughters. We've reached The Smowmen. I love the matt smith Christmas specials. That's the doctor written 100% as a "magic time wizard". My youngest made this fan art:

I'm off up to my family's ancestral home in Geordieland today for @bsidesncl.bsky.social . It's going to be an amazing event, but it won't be complete for me without pease pudding and stottie cake!

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

It's new computer game time. I finish finished Disco Elysium, which was absolutely incredible. Now I'm going for @inkle.co studio's Heaven's Vault, which - as a language nerd- looks like it's going to be right up my street!

I'm back to one of my passion projects at the moments - computer films. I've just watched one of the very earliest and one that escaped my attention until now - Hot Millions from 1968, Starring Peter Ustinov. Expect a blog or podcast discussion of this at some point in the near future!

Finished Day 11 of the #AdventOfCode in #FunctionalCSharp. They said it was insane, but I did it and they were _right_. I had to create a custom dictionary class with an added extension method, and do some fairly crazy recursion, but by 'eck I did it. github.com/madSimonJ/Fu...
