Try going days without water. That’s what people in Tunbridge Wells have had to do.
Families, care homes and schools are in limbo while South East Water still can’t say when this will be fixed. Thank you Mike Martin for stepping up and holding those responsible to account.

This year, I decided to try my hand a writing a blog.
I've just published my walkthrough of solving a classic UK game show segment using uninformed search - blog.newman.digital/posts/2025/1... with a discussion as to how we can make this ability available to GitHub Copilot via an MCP server.

Using AI to write your tests requires your software to be both complete and correct. These are dangerous assumptions to make. Go test first and let the genie help you make them pass.

Just an unbelievable week. Hoping that Europe and the UK can step up and lead the free world as the US has (hopefully temporarily) decided to tread a different path.

I’ve got some serious catching up to do with #adventofcode. Busy with family and Christmas preparation stuff. I must collect more stars over the weekend! Learning a lot with Python though, definitely helps increasing language skill. Grateful it exists.

Reaching out to other #blazor users. I’m struggling with forming a mental model around auth works in conjunction with the different modes, esp. with deep linking. For example, if I have a mixture of SSR, Interactive Server and Wasm with [Authorize] on various components (routed and otherwise).

I had a wonderful time for Dragon Age the Veilguard. The game runs great, is fun to play, looks amazing, and I enjoyed the story. My companions lacking a health pool led to some attrition-based boss encounters (always bring a healer), but by and large it’s a great game that I happily recommend 8/10.

Updated some blazor wasm to .net 9, and took advantage of the new static file handling. Only odd thing I had was needing to add a new h1 { outline: none; } style. All deployed to container apps via pulumi and tested via playwright. Great stuff.
