I have a question for the data management minded Mastodon-ers. Does anyone have an alternative name for a "master" copy of a file? Master seems just a bit... Dated? Masculine/militaristic? #datamanagement

Are you in Glasgow & free Friday evening? (30th May). New Rhythms For Glasgow are hosting a fundraiser to keep their Senior group running!

It’d mean a lot if folk could come along or even spread the word to keep this group going. Some pals of mine will be […]

I swear I'm cursed. This is the 5th time I've stayed in a hotel where the fire alarm has gone off and I've had to stand outside waiting for the all-clear. Thankfully they were all false alarms.

Any Mastodon friends going to see #the_flaming_lips tonight in #leeds? I'm going on my own, come say 'hi' if you see me!
If you're not going - why not?! It'll be the best gig of the year! #indiemusic

Currently cleaning the floor whilst humming "must be the season of the sicks" to the tune of "season of the witch". Hairball spring is here, and it looks like Regan McNeil rampaged through our downstairs last night #cats #exorcist

Mastodon friends: I want to write a blog (or at least, I have an idea for a post!). Is #substack a good choice? Is it fairly intuitive for a non-specialist?

Walk over Muckle Moss today, one of the best mires / bogs in England, and incredibly rich in different types of Sphagnum mosses (as well as sundews, bog rosemary, cranberry etc at the right time of year). The one slowly taking over the pool is I think Sphagnum […]

The irony of buying kitchen scissors, where you need kitchen scissors to open the packaging *sigh*

Ok, so, I guess this is a public service announcement... Because I don't know many people that follow heating engineers, who will tell you this for nowt. If your boiler stops working in the icy weather, it's worth checking 1) the pressure (I think most people know this). 2) that the condensate […]

I'd rather go to the dentist than a hair salon. Made the mistake of going somewhere in Oxford since normal (York) place booked until March. Got a haircut barely distinguishable from when I went in, and a wallet lighter by £70. 😕. Don't even know where to direct my anger. Them? Me? *Sigh*. At […]

As horrid as anxiety is, I sometimes take comfort from the fact that it probably had its place in helping my ancestors survive. I pack like I'm expecting the apocalypse wherever I go. Probably stopped me getting hypothermia on the embankment of the M1 yesterday after […]
