Newish here. Reminds me a lot of old tw*tt*r.
South London. Corporate IT gimp. Bad musician. Run a bit 🐐

Also tend to be a bit literal so not brilliant reading the room. Inveterate user of the singular "they."
Windows updates ftw.

You had to cut a specifically positioned notch out of the sleeve of a 5.25" or 8" floppy. There were hole-punch-like things that would do this neatly.

Re-enabling write meant taping over the hole.

Good times!

First run after Chicago last weekend. Problem leg so going to be a tough winter of physio. Got a new hanger for majors and have got a place for Sydney next year. 4x marathons in 4x countries and 3x continents this year which has been fun too.

Before & after the Berlin Marathon. Lack of proper training & horrible conditions made it an interesting day. Nice course, lots of runners, not the same crowds as London but loads of bands & music.

4:48:46 time. Slowest race by far but pretty happy with just getting round!

#running #londonmarathon Did this on Sunday. Hot day, started overheating 22 miles in so slowed down. St John's Ambulance had a lot of work that I didn't want to add to! 4:14:57 time, happy with that after last weekend, well inside my 'four and a half-ish but whatever' target.

Waiting for flight back to London at hotel pool. Could be worse I suppose.
