We watched Goldfinger last night for the first time in a while. Rather enjoyable. And the opening music also gives you some useful hints on what to do if someone tempts you to enter their web of sin. I’ve probably been getting that wrong in the past.

Shakespeare In Love is my favourite film. Arcadia is one of my favourite plays - certainly my favourite modern one.
Tom Stoppard, you will be greatly missed.

As we approach the Christmas season, can we all take a moment to remind ourselves that 'gift' is a noun and not a verb?

iPad owners - there are some nice new features in iPadOS 26, but it's also the buggiest release I've ever installed, so if you haven't upgraded yet, I recommend holding off until a few more patches have been released.

I recently uploaded a batch of new videos to my YouTube channel, and since then, the algorithm has been recommending them to me as possible viewing each morning!
Does this mean it’s rubbish, or does it mean it understands my preferences perfectly? :-)

Well, some of my books are in the list here, so off I went to www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com and filled in my details.
There's been some commentary about how $3k per book is paltry and cheap, which it is for full-time authors. But it's not bad for technical books from a while ago, I think.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

What? How did I go for nearly a year without knowing that a blu-ray collection of Blake's 7 had been released? With restored video, new special effects, lots of extra material? I've ordered it, of course! (Series 2 apparently due for release in a couple of months.)
