Omg. I can’t wait to watch this!
I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

At the Leeds Testing Atelier today for fun, learning and two firsts for the @whatalotofthings.com podcast. These are: recording in front of a live audience, and hopefully the inclusion of other voices in the recording.

Audience participation for the win!

Rather pleased to be back in Aberystwyth after an absence of about 18 years. I think I was first here in 1988. While a lot has changed over that time it’s all still very recognisable.

Ok, harassers from Twitter. I saw the post on there directing you to other accounts I have such as this one. It’s been years now, and I’m so tired of you and your one joke.

Please just leave me alone.

If not, I guess will have to keep on with the tiring and depressing task of blocking you.

This is a fun way to spend… some time.

In other news, it strangely bothers me that there are no hits on Bluesky search for the town where I live.

So this message is a sort of public service for anyone else from Ilkley who comes here.
