iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Has been on my bucket list for years and I honestly don’t know why I haven’t attended yet. Possibly because I’m in Brighton in October for BrightonSEO every year as well as the April event and too much Brighton in a year might explode me. Possibly.

for some reason wordpress decided not to make the chart the featured image, so here it is

A line chart showing sporadic peaks, but healthy sales with a sudden drop-off to an almost flat-line situation. The drop-off is labelled 2026

Keep. I have several pairs of the same trousers in the same colour - makes it easier to pick something to wear as if one pair are in the wash then you have spares.

Depending on what side of LinkedIn you're on, you're going to run across JEV, hyped as the new shit of LLMs. It is not. It's the marketing hype of discriminative models, induced by some folks discovering that frontier LLMs really shouldn't be used for classification tasks (for a bunch of reasons)

What on earth is happening?

This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

I ponied up for Rectangle Pro to sort out my window positioning shortcuts - surprised I had not come across this before - Divvy was good though - this may well be a lot better! At least it works with OSX27! rectangleapp.com

SimonCox @simoncox.com · 15/09/2026

No - full released yesterday but I assume you would have an EU version so they are probably still stripping out all the spy stuff.

SimonCox @simoncox.com · 15/09/2026

OSX27 is better then 26 so far though you know all those warnings about universal apps not working in future versions of OSX - thats hit home now. Had to reinstall Git, and 4 other apps, Divvy isn't working and I really liked the keyboard shortcuts in Divvy. so far - good.

It's eight years tomorrow since we posted on Twitter that Sting had been in to return his books.

A shelf on the book return trolley. The titles of the five books are Every Breath You Take, Every Move You Make, The Bonds That Break, Every Step You Take and I Am Watching You.

I'm pretty sure this is the Daily Mail and I think Steve @sistrix.com has been following its progress for many months. If it is the Daily Mail then they may have fallen foul of quality issues - though why not before is nearly anyones guess. Absolute masters of clickbait headlines + shallow content.

It was a joke really. I went to use Claude to do something and it came back with errors so I left that task untill later on. But I do procrastinate a fair bit so that might have been likely.
