Saturday night in, watching a documentary about the making of Secret of Monkey Island with a delicious takeaway beer from my local. Yes, I do know how to party. #RetroGaming #beer (You fight like a dairy farmer)

Spent a while last night using a raspberry pi as a desktop computer, hooked up to a 19” 5:4 display. I don’t know if it was just the nostalgia driven by the squarish monitor but it actually felt a joy to use. An unbloated UI (a Mac is my daily driver these days because of workdays), a screen […]

Another taekwondo grading passed! Now on the final belt before black! Next, I need about 36 hours sleep, a massage, and a week off work to recover 😵

Metroid Prime 4 is so far so good. Reminds of the first time I played Metroid Prime at least which is all it needed to do to keep me happy 😄 (I sense they were very aware of that)

I found a nice use for AI today.
I’ve been tackling #adventofcode in C this year. Partly because I miss it, partly in protest at all the noisy Rustaceans (and this is coming from an Arch Linux user!), and partly because I have a future project that will require me writing some C. It has been […]

Ok Fedifriends, what’s a good Mastodon app for iOS? The official one seems to have got a lot more unusable with the latest update but others I’ve tried seem to be missing features.

Alright, I give up. Dear Fediverse #retrocomputing folks, I've been looking for a SPARCstation IPX or IPC for quite some time; anyone around who'd be willing to sell one? Preferably within Europe (I've found one offer on eBay, but it would be from the US and I don't have any confidence in […]

Something really terrible is going to happen. I've just created a huge karmic imbalance in the universe.
Just now, I plugged in my printer which hasn't been used in about a year, it connected itself to the WiFi and successfully printed the document that I asked for.

Wow! I came back from holiday a couple of weeks ago to find that somebody had dumped a load of rubbish (dead fridge, sink, bags of who knows what) down the side of my house. Reported it to the council only this weekend and they've just turned up to remove it 😮

Someone please just make a convincing simulation of the 80s and leave me there. Spend the evening watching Witchfinder General and playing #zxspectrum games. Monty on the Run, Manic Miner, Fantasy Dizzy, and Atic Atac. Actually forgot the ever-looming dread for a while.

I propose replacing calories with watt-hours.
- Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours)
- more intuitive for people who use electricity
- never the confusing between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' […]
