Just a quiet night in

A cardboard box sits on the floor with a cat sized hole in the top, and a cat with their head in the whole and their hind legs standing not in the box

Well……. That escalated quickly!

When asking a Generative AI search what press F to pay respects meant, after giving four examples, it then repeats “This meme has also been used in various other contexts, such as in a discussion about the origins of the meme” with the same reference number enough to fill the page.

Remember kids, Python prints f to pay respects

A screenshot of PyCharm IDE with a file called respects.py

Inside the file the code stores “f to pay respects” in a variable respects. This variable is then used the following print command: print(f”Pressing {respects}”) four times.

Sure, everyone talks about Kensington locks to stay secure. Yada yada yada……

Have you considered a Britney to keep your laptop safe?!?

Huh?!

Cosmos - Take Me With You. I remember buying the vinyl of this in 2002 when I was 19. Remember playing it and seeing many people dance in sweaty clubs with big smiles on their faces. Pretty awesome to see some 23 years later 19 year olds doing the same with 40-50 year olds.

Good music is timeless ❤️

Can’t believe Sasha Digweed gets his full name and John only gets his first name.

A photo of the stage with Sasha and John Digweed DJing turned sideways with a sign that seems to say Sasha Digweed and John

Britney is clearly a Charles LeClerc fan.

We’ve managed to swap out the nice bed sheets for a dust sheet we don’t care about to make the cat hammock. Buffy approves.

We’re still down a laundry hanger though

Just a lunchtime chill with Buffy and Britney ❤️

Not sure how long it will stay like this but good to see the wood part of the desk for the first time in 3.5 years 😬🙌

An L shaped wood desk with a Corsair K68 rainbow keyboard, ergonomic mouse, MacBook Pro laptop and a 24 inch monitor. Also known as the desk are three books. The New Age of Sexism by Laura Bates, Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates, and Serious Cryptography 2nd Edition by JP Aumasson. There is also a wood puzzle, various external hard drives, power cables and Ortofon vinyl stylus and cartridges. On the other L of the desk is another MacBook Pro adorned with stickers, a fox cuddly toy from Akimbo Core and an Octopus cuddly toy from the Argo CD project

Chaos and calm this morning

#caturday

Buffy the tuxedo cat is sitting on a thin and flimsy curtain rail above a white curtain in a white walled room. A table with a plant can be seen

A table of plants (different to the one in the first photo) is shown with various plants fallen out of their pots and soil and legs stones on the wooden floor. Buffy the tuxedo cat fell of the curtain rail.

Window wide open listening to the rain fall is a blissful way to start the day.

I guess doing the pointing is off and will need to be postponed for a couple of weeks now. Shame.

This is the moment Buffy figured out how to press the child lock for 2s on the auto feeder and deactivate it.

At least she didn’t hit feed to dispense.

No safety controls have been broken this time.
