#gothenburg #newyearseve fireworks are at 5pm so that kids can watch them at a reasonable hour, and so that late night chaos is somewhat reduced.

#GodNyttÅr, alla!

The Offspring picked up from where The Beastie Boys left off, and made it better. I'm right, aren't I?

I'm thinking of the #seasonal lights in #southafrica. #lawleystreet lights in #pretoria, #tablemountain lights seen from #milnerton, the tree at the #waterfront (they have one this year, don't they?), #houtbay fireworks at #newyear.

I'm sounding sentimental. But what else is #christmas for, if […]

#truecaller: The #enshittifying.

Used to be a reasonably good app. Now it generates far more spam, and much more intrusive spam, than it blocks.

What annoys me about the movie #oblivion is that there was no need for faceless aliens. The movie would have been far more terrifying and portentous if the earth had been ruined by humans. The rest of the plot need hardly have changed.

The soundtrack is great though […]

I'm working my #southafrica job as 'Solution Architect' from here in #Sweden. I do telecoms analytics, plus a generous amount of programming, team leadership, and making Scrum do what I want it to do.

This is pretty straightforward remote work. There is a one-hour time zone difference, which […]

So: why #sweden?

Last year Caitrín finished school, Ntando finished her Pacific ship contract, and I was living in a basic rental place in Pretoria. It was time to move on.

Aidan and Caitrín are now both in #ireland, doing their different things successfully. I wanted to be nearby enough to […]

So many of you are talking about “Adopting AI” and then all you do is go subscribe to some cloud service and fire six employees you didn’t realize (yet) were essential. Do not patronize those horrible “thinky farm” establishments with a thousand cybersophonts crammed into a hot noisy datacenter […]

This is how you do it people. I feel like I could have written this article, as it is extremely detailed as to all of the valid reasons why they would want to ban such content from being associated with Nature.

Every journalistic & creative outlet you follow should be publishing something like […]

Upper-middle-management wants a two hour 'town hall' meeting to end the quarter and year. Needs puff videos to fill the time. Has the whole division working overnight to create pointless videos for a pointless meeting.

Never have I seen so many rigidly forced grins on one screen before.

Capitec Bank sent me a message 'You've used 80% of your one million rand overseas allowance already - don't get in trouble with SARS'.

I was ... Is Sweden really THAT expensive? I spent R 800K in one month??? Have I spent R 800K overall this year even??????? Holy cow.

They sent a correction a […]
