Some of us are having to work in this heat; I'll have you know!



Kingdom of Staffordshire

26C and counting


That moment you have your daughter and dog with you, and you enter a changing room to try on a pair of shorts, and the dog is jumping up at the curtain while your daughter says, "I've seen you in your underpants before." and you reply:

"𝗜'𝗠 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗡𝗬 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗦!"

It's a combination of personality, ability and diplomacy when you stand out from the crowd without compromising your collective team effort.

Eat plenty of ice cream today. The man on the radio says it's OK.


That moment when someone emails you back: "Can I have your full address, please?"

I've been asked a few times with what feels like a snear in the question: "Why are you running your own instance?" This is why.

In the kingdom of Briminghamshire it should reach 36C on Monday and 37C on Tuesday. I suppose it'll be pissing it down in Scottishland? #uksun ;-)


Sat pressing 𝗖𝘁𝗿𝗹+𝗙𝟱 on the #fosdem website in the hope that a physical event is announced for 2023 🙏

It's not fair; everyone else in OpenSource is having an event. 😢

When your dog, cat or pet stares into your eyes, it's thinking how awesome you are and how lucky they are to be with you. Show someone how awesome they are to you today.

Just eaten my lunch, and I'm starving! I know why. I must have burnt off far too many calories putting air in my tyres!
#manuallabour #work


I've just eaten some chocolate, and things seem a little better.


What a complete faff that was updating #Friendcia via git.

git config --global --add safe.directory /var/www/html/friendica/

Don't forget you'll need to tell git about /addons too.

git --"I don't give a toss who owns the directory. just git pull ffs!" ;-)

So would anyone I threw it at. It's amazing how solid porridge can get.


Going to install #opensuse in a VM in a minute. I've not run #SuSE for probably fifteen years.opensuse.org/

You've worked really hard this week, so why don't you have the next two days off and enjoy yourself.

The wife is working overtime tomorrow day, so I have the house to myself to recover. :-D

You don't need an IQ of 130; you don't need thousands in the bank. All you need is the desire to change your circumstances to start your own business.

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀: My fuel price has come down 6p; it's still £2.09, though.



Great! So my bank sent a replacement Debit Card that they said would be different to my expiring one. Course, the damn thing won't register through Samsung pay. Now I have to wait 72 hours because I exceeded attempts. 😡


That moment you put a goddam pot noodle back because at £1.00 it's too expensive!



Blew the dust off my feed reader and so many of the greats have either gone or haven't posted in years. Groklaw groklaw.net/ for example, which was always really good hasn't posted since 2013. 😞

You don't understand the subtleties of British cuisine 😉 @srednivashtar


I started listening to The Missing Cryptoqueen by Jamie Bartlett on Audible. Am I sure I watched something about this on Netflix? Excellent book so far. One Coin, anybody? #crypto

When someone moves the goalposts, that's your opportunity to demonstrate two keys skills you have:
You're not phased by it.
You can adapt to the new objective.

My day started lugging three servers into the building at 8:30 am coz I felt sorry for the driver who should have waited for 9:00 am
(And people say I'm horrible. 🙄 )

And Good Morning to you sir.

You don't have to agree with everything; don't let others snuff out your independence. Don't become a mouthpiece for someone else's ideas and values; be true to yourself and follow your chosen path.

For some of us, it's raining; for some of us, it's snowing. For some of us, it's blowing like a hurricane, and some of us are sunbathing. Today holds different challenges for us all.

Are you living dangerously again?


Why would you email: "Please proceed Pete", and then totally ignore my immediate response: "Did you want the extra memory?" How can I place my order if you don't answer!! 🤬


Ask on Social Media, "What do you recommend to relieve stress?" and every man and his dog comes back with: "Have a wank!" ROTFLMAO 🤣

For most of us, today is the last day of the week. Let's try to clear down all those outstanding tasks so that we can start with a clear task list when we come back refreshed on Monday.

That moment when you close a £3427.13 deal and make a miserly £295.71 profit. Doesn't seem worth it.
