Hi BSky, here are three things I made that you might like

Thing #1: Ambient ScotRail Beats

ScotRail made all of their tannoy announcements available under FOI and I put them over an infinite stream of ambient lofi beats. You can add your own music too

I don't like rejections like this - "It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for"

Why wouldn't parliament be able to legislate on volume levels for adverts and enforce via Ofcom/ASA? There are plenty of other regulations in place around advertising

Just filled in my tax return and every single one of these issues I found last year is still broken. Self Assessment is such a mess
Join me as I nitpick how janky HMRC's self assessment service is while I suffer through completing my tax return

Fun, my first legal threat!

Network Rail have taken offense so my version of the Rail Clock will be coming down later today

Lukewarm take: Using the flag for this is fine, actually, and we need to do everything we can to reclaim it from the lamppost wankers anyway
Tomorrow the new blue, red & white GBR livery & brand will be launched. The new design will be displayed on digital displays at a number of major stations. The DfT says the livery will appear across already publicly owned train operators from spring 2026, with the roll-out being gradual. 📷DfT

I propose Whampocalypse, where you lose if you even _think_ about Last Christmas. This is Whamageddon with the gloves off.

This isn't new and it's a colossal failure of leadership in the DVSA that it remains a problem

Stacks of Taskmaster keyrings and Christmas tasks going out today!

If you already have the official advent calendar this would be a lovely way to round it off on Christmas day...

pagescms.org is great - I haven't used it before and used it today to add a CMS to an existing @nuxt.com Content site (with multiple collections, media libraries, frontmatter schemas etc) in under a morning. Just flexible enough without being overwhelmingly complicated
Pages CMS: The No-Hassle CMS for Static Sites Generators
Tired of juggling Git and YAML to update your Next.js, Astro, Hugo or Nuxt website? Make it easy on you and your team, get a user-friendly CMS running straight on top of GitHub.

I promise I'll stop pushing these soon but time is fairly of the essence. Great Secret Santa gift too especially if you, say, work on Taskmaster
