Purescript, Erlang, Rust, C, Typescript - but probably actually talking shit about video games or shit talking about code. I hail from codeofrob.com and that probably tells you everything you need to know about the quality of my posts.

Dog woke me up by sitting on my head at 3am so I’m watching Supergirl while I drink coffee and do work - I really like the new superman/girl stuff, back to the novel idea that “comic book films don’t have to be dark” - lots of fun.

Tomorrow's itinerary is quite imposing, out at 9am for a traditional Lyonnaise Machon (cheese, offal, wine), followed by a traditional Lyonnaise bouchon lunch (offal, wine), followed by an institutional Lyonnaise dinner (offan, creamy sauce, wine). Thankfully today is a light day of offal and wine.

Ah yes Badenoch, “cut welfare to control inflation”, “if the poors have less money the prices are sure to come down”, absolutely out of touch with any semblance of reality

If you were driving the Claude I've been driving for the last day or two, the only reason you'd be concerned about it destroying humanity is if somebody was dumb enough to put it in control of the nuclear launch codes

Bo Ningen: 8.2 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe7G... closed my festival with these chaps, an absolute favourite through the ages - thought they'd really toned it down and gone gentle, but that didn't diminish what they were doing, still love them.

ØXN 8.1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuaL... again completely blind on this one, wandered into the stage and dismissed it "oh it's drony irish stuff" only to sit it out for a song or two and absolutely love where they went - this is why we have a three song rule.

Cleo Reed: 8.7: A complete surprise, ran out of stuff to look at, popped over to the boat as you do, they came on, just completely blew expectations out of the water, I bought her hat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibro... absolutely fucking love them. Made a point of hitting the piano stage for more.

Širom: 8.2: I was clearly in the mood for something a bit different when stood in front of this, they were bashing various bits of things from presumably kitchen cupboards and droning over the top, look sometimes you just like what you like www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORoq...

Madra Salach: 7.8/8.1: saw them twice, once acoustic anxd once in full blast - the Irish bands are heavy on at the moment (presumably cos they're easier to get touring the EU), but I love a bit of alt-trad www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nGJ...

1000 rabbits: 8.2/10: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTFF... don't worry it's not all about a woman being frantic with her great vocals, but two in a row is just how it worked out - the music is a bit more traditionally centred with these chaps, but MMMMMM yes.

Highlights of EOTR - ChatGPT summarised my scores. and I like "musicians who are obviously capable, have a strong individual musical language, are willing to fuck around structurally/sonically, but still understand that they're supposed to entertain you - so they're the ones here.

Doing a 10km the day after a four day festival of a beer, liquorice, and goat curry diet has a way of bringing you back to earth. Currently feel like a fat blobby mess, but I managed it.
