Summer achievements: Surviving the summer holidays. Also, building a treehouse for the kids. And more recently, digging a pond and (about to) build some ground mounts for solar. I’m excited to get the solar in. Something I’ve been waiting for since - I don’t know when. We will be all but off grid.

Yeah I used a 2m long section of ventilation pipe, worked really well!

Maybe it’s just taste? Or being a creative minded person? There are so many dire uses of AI at the local level now. The council is using it near me. But if you’re someone using it for your shop frontage, I truly despair. I will literally never go in that shop because it offends me so much 😂

All these vows from Starmer to “fight on” are starting to paint him as a bit of a sort of Black Knight character.

A still from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”, with the Black Knight attempting to continue fighting, having had all his limbs chopped off by King Arthur

This made me do the same. Very busy! Feels a bit like trading cards. “Got, got, need, need, got…”

There is more context in another article. “Founded by Dr John Ault, and supported by Conservative peer Prof Robert Haywood”. Their findings don’t appear to align with the local returning officer. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

OMG, the amount of squealing when two of these arrived was worth every penny. The figures are TINY. Had to get the other two. Quality #instabuy.

Someone will have to explain to me how it makes any financial sense. £3.7bn a year just on waste management, increasing year on year. Costs dwarf revenue. 🤷 assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/687e1a...

Totally! It’s so belligerent in its implementation. Like, what the hell is this huge thing that looks like a disabled button in the middle of Finder, that repeats the current folder name?! 🤷 On the phone esp, the amount of white text on light-grey is terrible, wouldn’t pass accessibility testing.

Love this settings screen I just stumbled in to in the car. “What setting is it on?” “Well OFF was set to ON so I tried setting ON to ON.”

I do enjoy having a job that allows me to continue my efforts in creating nonsense.

Oh snap, I may have just gotten extremely lucky and happened to check their website at the precisely correct moment!

Everyone’s doing “AI” now. But Argos have gone with a Dinosaur called Trevor.

Still chuckling at the reported descriptions of how The Orange One smells, from this weeks #hignfy.

Things that people who have been in close contact with Donald Trump describe him as smelling like: Armpits,Soiled diapers, Make-up, Ketchup, Hotdog burps

First time I’ve had one of these. Phone fired off a rather OTT alert so definitely couldn’t miss it. It did make me go outside in the pitch dark and make safe a trampoline. Hopefully better results than the last time I rescued it from a tree at midnight in the pissing rain.

Taking a moment to look at how bbc.co.uk article thumbnails manage to make the entire area clickable (i.e: with the image), through a single anchor tag, nested within. It’s really very smart, I’m stealing it. #webdev #css #accessibility

You spend all that time and money on the stone walled driveway you’ve always wanted, and then all of 4 seconds skipping past the font selection dropdown on that online sign ordering website you used. Engraved in stone forever, for all to see.

Fucking yes! Caramac is back! It’s appeared in stores again. The last time I saw it in a shop (after hearing it was discontinued), I bought their entire box they, much to the surprise of the cashier.

Considering options for the kids to have a portable music player, I thought “I wonder if Sony have any options these days”. Must’ve spent a whole minute guffawing at this insanity.

@trevormay.bsky.social If there’s one app I completely forget to use, it’s Gowalla (despite a long running appreciation of it). I boot it up for a browse and notice your stalwart efforts adding venues are even down in my neck of the woods now! Good work 😊

It’s a phased rollout so you might not have it yet? I just noticed it today, appears as an extra icon down the bottom:

Do you think the next macOS will be a bit more helpful? I swear this used to work. Hilariously useless.
