Fucking hell. Tim Curry and Dolly Parton gone in two days. There are only a very small handful of famous people I actual give a shit about, and the list is now two shorter. Think the last time I was genuinely this sad about the death of someone I didn't actually know personally, it was John Peel.

My OH would probably say me! It's almost certainly an R.E.M. tour t-shirt from 2003, which is a little faded, but otherwise isn't in bad shape at all, especially considering it's age, and how often it's been worn.

This next year is going to be extremely testing financially. Cost of living continues to grow & interest rates are crazy high. In the next 6 months I'm going to have to somehow earn a *lot* more just to continue to barely stay above the waterline. Not sure what to do. Suggestions on a postcard!

If you are free tomorrow do you fancy a visit to the Northwest Computer Museum to help them celebrate their 3rd birthday? Entry is free and there's so much to see and do. I hope to see you there, please say hello if you do! It's located in Leigh, near Manchester. Here's a flyer from their socials.

This is a Morrison's fresh cream trifle donut. It may look fairly unassuming in the picture, but in real life it's big, so much so that I could only eat half, and I'm renowned (in this household at least) for my pudding gluttony. It's also, by quite some way, the nicest donut I've ever eaten.

As a bonus, it was a freebie courtesy of the Morrison's More app, although it looked so good I did buy a second one, and am very glad I did; my cholesterol levels were probably still far too low after the salad I had for tea last week.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Another year where the BBC pick the UK's Eurovision entry, and another year where the next day they ask "why does the UK keep getting it wrong?" I've an idea - maybe don't send a shouty, loutish entry, which just serves to remind Europeans of what awful fucking people Brits can be when on holiday.

If we're doing three, then: Peel, Isle of Man Lisbon, Portugal Lincoln, Nebraska I have very good reasons for all three, but they may not be interesting to anyone else.

Hey @mk.gg, think you could talk your new employers into adding a fallback (redirect on 404) for public buckets in R2? It's something that the other cloud providers offer, and it would enable a couple of heavily cost optimised architectures that I plan to write presentations and blog about shortly.

Yeah, I know about Static Assets, but they're tied to a manifest at deploy-time, and can't easily be changed without redeploying; and general (as opposed to Workers) paid plans offer custom error pages, but this should be a per public bucket feature of R2, not something defined at an account level.

#Last4Albums CMAT's pretty new, but the rest are albums I've listened to regularly since they were released many years ago, and don't think I'll ever grow tired of.

@c64audio.bsky.social Got back home early evening, after last night's awesome #Fastloaders gig in Leicester, and after we'd eaten, our four year old wanted to know about the band. Played him a video I'd recorded of Lost Patrol from the soundcheck, which he loved, and he wanted to listen to more...

...cue an hour of the three of us dancing around the dining room to Rock Hubbard, including an epic interpretive dance to the Commando High Score music from our son, including devil horns, and a big rock finish with him sliding on his knees. I love our family, and am so proud of our little boy.

@defold.com Any news on publishing to XBox? It seems to be perpetually "coming soon". Looking to get back into games development, and have a couple of small games spec'd out, ready to get started over the festive break; but whilst Defold ticks a lot of boxes for me, that missing is a deal breaker.

Plenty to choose from, and no GIF, but it's from the live action version of 101 Dalmatians: "What sort of sycophant are you?" "Erm...what sort of sycophant would you like me to be?"

Deputy AG Blanche: RICO is available to all kinds of organizations committing crimes and committing wrongful acts… So is it sheer happenstance that individuals show up at a restaurant where the president is trying to enjoy dinner and accost him with vile words?

@eurogamer.bsky.social's only cookie options seem to be "Accept" or "Reject & Subscribe", so into the dumpster for sites whose content I'll not be consuming they go. I doubt any of them care, but if there's no obvious option within two or three clicks to outright reject cookies, I leave a site.

To be very clear, I have absolutely no issue with subscriber only content, or even content behind a paywall (although it'd need to be really good for me to consider paying, and much of what I have seen is pretty poor, and very polarised) but tying this to cookie consent is a dick move.
