Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 28/09/2026Calm before the storm at Goose Fair. Taken a couple of hours before opening time. 030
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 27/09/2026That it has a 5-10 day response time auto reply on and that the mobile number given to residents for escalations doesn’t get answered and texts don’t get replied to? Pathetic. 010
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 27/09/2026@councillorq.bsky.social are you aware of the poor enforcement of the extended resident parking permit hours and turning restrictions on residential roads off of Gregory Boulevard during Goose Fair again this year? Are you aware the email address provided for residents doesn’t get replied to… 110
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 26/09/2026Sadly no LOL. You did remind me I also had the ECU reprogrammed in my Brabus Smart again for better power delivery. 000
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 26/09/2026Back in the day I had my Impreza turbo ECU remapped to get more power / torque in the past. 100
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 26/09/2026Hopefully they have tea towels as merch again too! I missed out on those. 010
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 26/09/2026Makes some assumptions about being allowed to park in front of your own house. We have resident permit parking for the whole street so while I can always park there’s no guarantee it’s outside or on my side. Means I won’t go EV. 020
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 26/09/2026Enjoy! Seen them a couple of times including with a tiny crowd at a bar in San Diego. Fantastic. 110
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 26/09/2026We tried VietJet Sky Boss earlier this year and really enjoyed it. HAN-SGN and back combined with some Etihad business to get to HAN from LHR. 000

Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 20/09/2026Him and Jacques Villeneuve were probably the last F1 drivers that interested me before I gave up on it for sportscars. 000
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 19/09/2026I actually had a Polo 5 and weak handbrakes were a thing lol. 011

It’s still surreal knowing Grafana helped teams at JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social, and NASA via Intuitive Machines make Moon landing history. Happy International Observe the Moon Night. 031

Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 18/09/2026I had an ex BT Ka based van. I called it the superleggera version and it was a riot to drive (this from someone who generally can’t stand Fords). 110
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 18/09/2026Maybe I should share my @grafana.bsky.social dashboard with them so they can analyze LOL play.grafana.org/d/eurovision...play.grafana.orgGrafana 010

Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 17/09/2026I did a plane tracking talk using Grafana and Redis near St Pancras last night. 110
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 17/09/2026A couple of pics from my plane tracking with @grafana.bsky.social and Redis talk / demo at our London meetup last night. The SDR’s radio aerial was stuck in a plant near a window and we still managed to see planes as far as the Isle of Wight whilst in the Kings Cross area. 030

Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 12/09/2026I see this a lot with any size of car. Loads of students around here get the family’s cast off Polo or A1 to come to university with and never learn to park them or fit them through gaps a Transit passes through easily. 001
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 09/09/2026I can see an argument for "it'll really jet pack climate change to a point where things become really tenuous for humans"... sadly while we work out that it's not really the future after all. 020

Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 10/08/2026I think they think Paris, Berlin, Madrid etc are all in one country called Yerp though (mind you if I had my way we’d all be in a European super state). 110
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 10/08/2026That’s also general ignorance of other countries methinks. Mind you I bet if you gave the average <insert US city, college or state name> sweater / cap / jacket wearer a map and a bingo dinner they wouldn’t be able to hit the right time zone on a map of the USA let along get it right lol. 110
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 08/08/2026Spotted a really nice Raleigh bike in its home city yesterday. 501 tubing and everything, we all wanted these as kids. #cycling 020
Simon Prickett @simonprickett.dev · 04/08/2026Nice! Sam wasn't around when we went, but the volunteers are great and the retro computing museum next door was good too. Quite a drive from Nottingham so we stayed overnight and visited a country park too. 010
