When there's a successful solution, EVERYONE wants to get involved; run with it; cover themselves in glory.

The moment there's a problem with the solution, suddenly it becomes one person's sole responsibility.


Well, there's a first (For me.) my Keyboard at work has died! I spent ages scratting around trying to find batteries, but after two swap-outs, I came to the conclusion the Keyboard is dead; it has ceased to be; it is an ex keyboard.


First thoughts regards Windows 11?
I'm still thinking.


It just shows how dominant Facebook is in our lives when an outage causes almost worldwide panic.


They need to do away with the calorie charts on food and just put "You should only eat two of these today!" on the packaging instead. I've nearly finished these. :-(


One of the laziest scammers I've seen in a long time.


So the TV said something about Google no longer supporting its Movie app and promptly deleted it. I can download the Movies I bought from Google, but they're in some fooked up format that means they can only be played on an Android device. I wish I'd bought DVD's from Amazon now because I bet Google is going to stop its Movie service soon, and I'll lose all my purchases.

I think that depends on what front end you use. If you use the web login, then you can display a list choice in a column. So, for example, I display all my FOSS list users in their own column


You can have lists in Mastodon?


Huzzah! Feet and Inches are coming back.

Time to polish up the plaques in Trafalgar square.


Fooking hell! It's like being in the audience of a TV game show in the office this afternoon. People are coughing and spluttering everywhere!

I've just eaten a punnet of pineapple and a punnet of apple, grapes and cheese cubes.

LinkedIN just offered to connect me with someone I fell out with probably 10 years ago with the initials A L. Our political views are poles apart, yet that shouldn't matter when you're in a community.


All the young dudes.

You've gotta love the UK. I put my office fan away thinking I wouldn't need it, and then suddenly, out comes Mr Sun again.


I've eaten way too much sugar today.


We went to Currys Electrical last night to buy a Fridge-Freezer. They have 408 (Pre-Paid) orders for the Samsung one we wanted, with 300 coming in towards the end of the month, so 108 people [who've paid already] will have to wait, including us. We left, muttering under our breath: "We can manage for the time being."


I cannot leave the house without seeing at least one Tesla. If that's not a success story, I dunno what is.


Electric cement mixers are rubbish! I want the smell of two-stroke and the loud "put-put-put" of the engine.


I'm #WFH again for a couple of days and listening to Joan Armatrading - Track Record

It looks like the Americans and the British this time will be reenacting this in Kabul.

I've been doing some more website stuff, but I'm sick to its back teeth now, so it won't be going live today.


Tempted not to cash this and simply frame it. A cheque! From the Taxman!


Oi @steevc give me £1,431.24, so I can run a #hive node.

England better win on Sunday night because it's starting to get silly in the UK.
Some schools have said pupils can come in late on Monday after watching the match.
Supermarkets are closing early so staff can watch the match.
The wife's work phoned and said she can come in late to watch the match.
There's a cry to have a snap Bank Holiday if we win the match.


Is the Ubuntu NUC still a thing?


That moment when you blow the dust off your Pi cluster. Rebuild the Docker Swarm from scratch, then actually bother to look at the hardware requirements, and it says: "Minimum of 20GB of RAM, and at least 400GB of fast local storage." Oops! I don't think 2.77GB of memory and a 32GB USB is gonna cut it? #HiveNode #clusterhat #raspberrypi


So with the announcement that social distancing rules will probably be lifted in the UK on the 19th of July, I await the Internet experts (mainly Twitter) to start telling us all how wrong it is and that the Government is cynically killing people while having spent the last 12 months telling us the Government is abusing our human rights by closing everything down.


Amazon denies photos of Matt Hancock came from one of its doorbells.


I've been watching Undercover on Netflix. It's a Belgian-Dutch crime drama about undercover cops. I started out liking Bob Lemmens, the main character, but now I kind of wanna see him get his comeuppance tbh. Thoroughly enjoying it, though.


The forecast today at #CastleCannon is thunderstorms with a high of 14C and a low of 7C 🤔
