Got on a spooky* DLR on Friday and had to take a photo of this vibey self driving train. *it was being used for testing and the crew forgot to lock one door so we got on not realising and made it a few stops before they spotted us.

After many years of cycling in London I've had my first injury that required a trip to A&E. Tried to go up onto the grass to get around some people in a park and came down too hard off a bump, stacked it, and got my shin shredded by the pedal or chainring. It comes for us all eventually.

Just finished Blue Prince on Day 59. What a game. It completely consumed my brain and I absolutely loved it. But I think there are more mysteries at Mount Holly to solve..?

What’s all this water on the ground this morning? Where did it come from!?

Post Boomtown I only want to listen to Hardcore Gabber but with Deftones this weekend I should probably start adjusting to that instead.

Left some water in an old takeaway container at the back of the garden for local animals and woke up this morning to find some fox has taken a shit in it.

@dannyodwyer.bsky.social listening to you pining for your middle aged man life make me think Assassin’s Creed had it right - your genetic memory yearns for days starting with eggs and rashers, working in the fields, and finishing it with lovely stews and pints of stout.

I have reached the stage of Blue Prince when I see another layer of the puzzle. What an incredible game. I'm glad I gave it another chance.

I have woken up incredibly early so I guess I'll go for a run or something else that people who get up early do.

After putting it off since it came out, I'm giving Blue Prince another go. I've got my laptop with a Notion doc next to my SteamDeck ready to be filled with discoveries and ramblings of a mad man. I will defeat the mansion of Mount Holly if it kills me.

Not Sam Neill! Jurassic Park was such a core part of my childhood and Event Horizon is one of my favourite films. I once tweeted about how he nailed the accent in Peaky Blinders and the use of "Yous" and when I woke up the next morning I discovered he had liked it.

for the england match it's time for irish people to grow up a little and get over the performative hatred of an old enemy it's ancient history at this stage, we're kinda related to a bunch of them too so the posturing that so we're different is a bit crass let's put the viking raids behind us 💙🇳🇴❤️

@bell.bz I followed a link in a project from 3 years ago to your CSS reset to check for changes before adding it to a new project. I then realised you'd redirected the original URL to /a-more-modern-css-reset That's some nice work right there. Thanks for all you do for the web.

My stupid fat cat wanted out in the garden and is drinking puddle water instead of chasing the mouse and rat that are doing the same thing at the other end of the garden.

A three panel meme of Fred Armisen in Parks & Rec as Raul.

Showing support for Palestine? Straight to jail.

Protesting about climate change? Jail.

Inciting racist riots? Believe it or not, straight to Radio 4 Today programme.

I do think a lot of English-based analysis of what happened in Northern Ireland last night is missing the specifically loyalist aspect of the violence. These are groups with a long history of violently driving out "outsiders", turning their sights on a new vulnerable minority.

I've been suffering with bad RSI recently which is an issue for playing games with a controller, so now I'm forcing myself to give Disco Elysium yet another go on a computer instead of the Switch. Maybe it's the different screen, or the fact I can't play other games, but I'm enjoying it a lot more.

Had an ultrasound today for arm pain and it took all my strength not to say "is it a boy or a girl?" to the nurse. I bet they get that all the time.

I haven't opened Focus (distraction stopping macOS app) in a while and now I can't unlock the full version because the domain for checking my license key is offline. I like to buy indie software when I use it but it seems it's also not immune to the ephemeral decay of the web.

Gave up prompting this afternoon after Claude failing to get it right and just wrote code by hand. It felt great. Coding is back. You should try it sometime.

A live set from a double birthday party. One of the birthday girls had not heard any good music for a whole year so I started fast and finished faster. It ended up a very a high energy birthday.

Experiencing a terrible life event today - my local barber who is 5 minutes walking from my house, cuts my hair and beard perfectly every time, and I've even became friendly with, is closing down. I thank you all for your prayers in this difficult time as I test out all my further local barbers.
