This year at Mozilla Festival, we unlearned the old rules of the internet to imagine new ways to build, connect, and create together. Watch the highlights on-demand.

I had the absolute pleasure of talking about the social internet, public values and so much more in the Fireside Fedi chat. It was really good fun and we covered a lot in a short time. Everything from the Fediverse to CSS is covered in a relaxed and fun way. Available on the Fediverse or if you want just the audio.(its better with the video for our expressions) Thank you very much Ozone for the fun time we had discussing everything.

Pacemaking on British Airlines Conference season is pretty much over and my last event was the excellent Mozilla Festival, this time in Barcelona. I took a KLM flight via Amsterdam on the way and created the base of a interesting mix. On the way back I flew via Heathrow on BA (a reminder how much I don’t like Heathrow, and use to fly from Gatwick when I could). On my BA flight, I re-did the mix with a few tweaks and the resulting mix was created. Created using the very ageing Pacemaker device on KLM and remix/raised on BA? as such? Its a strange one because there is a bit of reusing of the same tunes, which isn’t a thing you do when DJing, but it kind of worked. Also maybe the early mornings, 4 hours of sleep and climbing what felt like 100 steps to the festival, had gotten to me? What ever it is, I have been enjoying this longer mix, as it includes new tunes, especially Bring back the techno which I also heard DJ B Jones playing on the Saturday night party. Enough typing… You can listen to the mix in full quality on my mixgarden or at reasonable quality here too. 1. 00:00:00 – Vibration (extended mix) – Redub 2. 00:03:16 – Intruder – Armin vs M.I.K.E 3. 00:06:31 – My beat (jan Driver mix) – Blaze 4. 00:11:18 – Rerflection (extended mix) – Ferry Corsten 5. 00:14:46 – Emotions Of Colour (Extended Mix) – Cosmic Gate & Gid Sedgwick 6. 00:19:48 – Ecstasy – Eddie Makabi feat Einat 7. 00:24:12 – Bring back the techno (extended mix) – Orjan neilson, Mark sixma, nilsix 8. 00:27:41 – Eclipse – Neo 9. 00:31:15 – Inferno – Carl Cox 10. 00:35:43 – Mass Noise 2015 – fred baker & Seb B 11. 00:39:35 – Whites of her eyes – Simon Patterson 12. 00:43:59 – You (extended mix) – Cosmic gate 13. 00:46:48 – Emotions Of Colour (Extended Mix) – Cosmic Gate & Gid Sedgwick 14. 00:52:13 – Silver bath (Adam El-Sayed 2015 rework – Plastic boy 15. 00:56:48 – Outlaw (extended mix) – Fatum 16. 01:00:57 – Bring back the techno ((Extended Mix) – Orjan Nilsen, Mark Sixma (Nilsix) 17. 01:02:40 – Anasthasia (Extended Mix) – Mark Sixma vs T99

About a month ago I was in Helsinki for the Mydata conference, one of the things I like to do is find new places. A guy I knew from Manchester suggested a really amazing speakeasy place to me, while I complained about the sugar-horrific gin & lemon in a can one night. So I checked it out and thought it was a fantastic bar, although having your phone locked away when you needed to know the last train is quite something. However I met a stranger at the bar and we talked for a while and even walked back to the train station. Then on a second night after going to the theme park in Helsinki, he was there again. Although not a familiar stranger, it was some inspiration for this mix. Recorded on the flights back to Manchester and a bit of tweaking, I present the Helsinki familiar stranger mix at 192k on peertube and now finally on my own peetube mixgarden in full quality. 1. 00:00:00 – Industry – Green Martian 2. 00:05:49 – Bloodmoon (Extended mix) – Jarome Isma & Tone Depth 3. 00:10:59 – Intruder – Armnin vs M.I.K.E 4. 00:16:39 – Erase – Brooks Aleksander 5. 00:20:14 – Inferno – Carl Cox 6. 00:24:39 – Eclipse – Neo 7. 00:28:08 – Shnokel (Thank you city remix) – Ido Ophir, Miki Litvak 8. 00:30:56 – Open up (full vocal mix) – Leftfield 9. 00:33:56 – Circles – Robert Nickson 10. 00:39:02 – Seven Cities (V-one’s living cities mix) – Solar Stone 11. 00:45:03 – Home (Cosmic gate remix – Paul Van Dyk Feat Johnny Mcdaid 12. 00:50:50– Indigo – 4×4

I was surprised to find myself on Youtube, It was a really good conference and the machine readable wishes workshop went down very well. You can see the slide deck linked here. Myself, Sam and Solana have started a blog here and there is a github repo started here. Expect more soon, and get in touch if you find the project interesting.

A man spoke to me in the Bannatyne, Withworth street Steam room. I adjusted my headphones and announced I can’t hear him, as I’m listening to an audiobook. He kept speaking and I paused Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown. Turning to him, as he was the only one in the steam room, which was admittedly strange for peak-time. The man says, what are you going to do when the gym shuts down? I was shocked, what do you mean? This weekend it will close for good. This is the moment I found out the last Bannatyne will close for good and my weekly spa time with it. I confirmed this with the staff, as I left for the last time, not only to get clarity but to find out when I’ll be getting a refund for my yearly payment (which I now have). I was told the nearest Bannatyne gyms are Blackpool (55miles) and Buxton (27miles) now. The thing which got me is how over August Bannatyne sent 12 emails about their new app in August but zero about the closure of the last Manchester gym. It’s laughable how this has all turned out and so quickly! At once point there was 3 different Bannatyne’s in Manchester then with the last 3 years they have shut down. The main reason I blog about this is because I’m looking (Lazyweb) for a Spa/Gym which is based in Manchester city centre. It must have a steam room, sauna and a way to cool down (cold shower, Jacuzzi, etc) following this a weight room. Currently I’m using Kontrast for my sauna but with steam room and zero weights its a stop gap (although I do like the late night weekends). Honestly, I’m open to suggestions because I see many gyms and a few Saunas but very few which have all three without a seriously huge cost. I would even consider having different subscriptions if cost effective. I’m currently looking at Nuffield and others They would be a great time, when all those Manchester spas/gyms would see this and get in touch with there best options.
