@octopus.energy your brilliant customer services have spent 2 months trying to get my smart meter commissioned with no success. Now the SEC has been amended to support 4g in the North, what do I need to do to get a 4g comms hub installed?! I'm at my wits end!

Nell was my niece, a bright light that was extinguished far too soon.
Nell Smith’s aunties were hosting a stall at The Merch Market

It was lovely to catch up with them as they remembered Nell and celebrated her music

If you had told me in 1996 that nowadays @mattvenn.net would be MCing to his own tunes as part of giving a lightning talk at Hackaday Berlin, while wearing a massive ASIC hat and custom ASIC chain, I wouldn't actually have been surprised, and I can't think of higher praise than that.

Sometimes I miss the classic Yokshire hills and dales now I've moved to the Vale of York. Not tonight though, so much sky.

Trying a new approach to removing the tree this year: electric chainsaw. Jury is out on whether it makes more or less mess than just dragging the tree out through the front door.

I (only) just completed all 25 days of Advent of Code 2024! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com

Phew, that's been confounding, confusing, but most of all fun!

Part two of this really kicked my ass for a while. I've been able to console myself with the thought that i'm solving some generally applicable problem with most of the challenges, but this one, not so much.

#AoC2024 day 16 part 2: tfw you finally beat your head against something long enough that it eventually succumbs to sheer bloody mindedness. I am proud I persevered, I am not proud of what I ended up with and I am not refactoring 😂

Stinking Bishop, Doux de Montagne, Brie, Ossau Iraty, Comte, Stilton, aged Gouda, Pont L'Eveque, Smoked Red Fox, Cathedral City.

One of these things is not like the others, but they're all going on crackers.

One Christmas I used a dozen eggs, 2 pats of butter and half a bottle of white wine vinegar trying to make hollandaise on Christmas morning for eggs Benedict, and still ended up with a runny mess. Now I sous vide my hollandaise on Christmas eve, and reheat it while I poach the eggs. This is the way.

Spotted today at Eureka National Science Museum. I am sure it's not the sort of place you'd worry about the door handles, chairs and pencils all being contaminated with shit, but they aren't reassuring me...
