Microsoft's Auth is completely borked.

I'm in an infinite loop in the Authenticator app.

I need to add an account to the app, but that sign in requires the Authenticator app.

Loopy!

Sharon Horgan is my favourite.

That is all.

Anyone else pronounce "Bluesky" and "Bloo-ski"?

Google just added Gemini to my business email account and I've been using it all morning.

It's actually not too bad so far. It has saved me some time. But one thing I have noticed is... it reduces "the resistance" a lot.

Just followed @yootheme.bsky.social and a ton of YOOtheme and Joomla connected people and suddenly BlueSky makes sense.

Tonight’s Only Connect is one of my favourite of the series. Two fantastic captains provide a lovely opening chat (thanks, captains!) and it’s a really jolly episode in general. Enjoy the music sequence….

Again… this is the sort of stuff I missed most about Social Media for the past 6 years.

It used to be mostly this sort of stuff.

Amazing! Remember when this was the sort of stuff we sent viral…? I feel like it’s 2001 again.

Cutouts by The Smile is an amazing achievement by a band seemingly in their autumn phase. (At least you’d think so) but I wasn’t even “over” Wall of Eyes when they released Cutouts.

Did you see some big fireworks at new year?

The company who do the London new years fireworks showed me everything that goes into impressive displays like this, and put me to work in setting one up!

Agh yes…

Happy “that few days of the year where you don’t know what day of the week it is” day.

Absolutely my favourite time of year.

It's the final Reverse Trivia of this run, in which we cover scatological Shakespeare, and the wheel spins and lands on France.

So a few months ago… my wife and I were talking and Blake Lively came up and my wife said “agh yea I’ve heard she’s a toxic bitch”.

The problem was that my wife, like millions of others, got sucked into the PR machine of Social media.

It’s turns out that the “toxic Blake” stuff was coordinated.

I guess I’m just not a social media type of person.

I liked Twitter for a while back around the time I was delivering take away and reporting the state of West Belfast - circa 2013.

I then took a very long Twitter break.

This will be my 4th BlueSky post. I just don’t know anymore.

Here's a few pics from my trip to Marrakesh and the Atlas mountains.

Here's me on a wee trip to Philadelphia... a few days before the vote.

I liked the vibe of the place.

Got to see Dublin from the portal too! Which was very nice! :)

Going to fill my account with some pic of recent travels. I probably should have posted this stuff at the time... but I was off the sowsh-meeds ...

Anyways... anyone recognise this:

I've been off Twitter for about 4 years now... and this comes along and I'm debating whether I miss (proper) twitter enough to actually be annoyed doing this.

Do I actually want a social media at all? Let's see! :P
