I love making things, reading things, and drinking things.
Saw the fabulous Stewart Lee last night at The New Theatre.

Mildly regret not saying "You're a puritan Stu" to him at the signing afterwards...

Where I’m at with AI is that it’s a tool to elevate existing skills and knowledge.

It’s an interpretation/abstraction layer.

Do we still code in Assembly? Do we understand why we don’t anymore?

It’s great to see a surge in popularity for something I saw as being quite niche growing up.

It’s also great to see how many local game stores are about on the high street these days, in addition to the official Warhammer shops…

Seeing how well photography does on here. Maybe I should transition over from Instagram as well… this was from Abergavenny Food Festival.

Intrigued by all the new functionality in Tailscale… it was already incredibly useful just for hooking together all my random machines…

Found a lovely combo using @tailscale.com and NextDNS.

Honestly, these are such powerful tools for internal networks...
