Behold: The Dryangle V0.1!* A philosophical model for the most efficient and effective way of drying laundry outside on a washing line or airer, depending on weather conditions. *V0.1 because there are probably more accurate ways to explain the considerations.

I don't knit or crochet (too much counting) but even I want one of these incredible yarn bowls. If you have a crochety/knitty loved one in your life, get one!

Having a stressful day today. Trying to work from home this aft and am constantly being interrupted by the gas people who are digging up the entire neighbourhood, our driveway, and our gas meter to replace pipes. Meanwhile J is furious at the lack of forewarning and now I'm having to manage him too.

How did the grid react as Storm Austen and Storm Boelo passed through over the weekend? I pulled this together over the weekend. It's part of a new video format that I'm exploring to better explain what's going on within the energy system and the wider context surrounding it (such as the weather).

This is an important piece for anyone interested in games, AI, code, and IP. And it doesn't pull any punches. Go, @lpcantlose.bsky.social, you rock.

Now with the AI signs/posters, I've developed a new term: claustrophobia in the eyes.

Good for your physical and emotional health to avoid!!!

Tried to get some photos of Dash in his new LED safety collar, but he wouldn't stand still long enough to get a good one. You can just about see the light-up effect extending throughout his ruff, tho. Super cute!

How ironic that Mrs Mayer is none of the things her daughter is. I mean who the hell finds it "an impossible task" to mention 3 things that make their kid special?

Social media is the reason why I have a whole dice bag* of grognard chums I now play TTRPGs with online every week. Since about 2018. We make a tangible difference in each others lives. * What is the collective noun for grognards, anyway?

Bless you, @researchgate.bsky.social for continuing to ask me if that one pic of Sydney Harbour from 1935 is my work. I mean, I do look old and haggard these days, but I'd like to think I look younger than that.

Love to see it. Thanks LightBox!!

"This could have been an email." Aragorn whispers. "He ALWAYS pulls this shit in 'Any Other Business" Boromir replies, quietly. "It's why Faramir marked himself as busy when the invite went out."

Cold, rainy Saturday afternoon. Not one but two brand new soft fleece throws. I'm off for the best nap of all time.

My first 5 TTRPGs, in the order I played them: 1. Paranoia 2. WFRP 3. AD&D 4. Cyberpunk 5. Shadowrun

"This is my cup of tea. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My cup is my best friend. It is my life. I must fill it as I must fill my life. Without me, my cup is useless. Without my cup of tea, I am useless."

WTAF?

Most pointless bit of 2Gorka2Morka but amuses me nonetheless. Decoding the complex ork terminology for gun types #warhammercommunity

There's a different side of this story that nobody's talking about.

Friday.

Don't make me tap the sign again.

Fuck JK Rowling.

Something something metaphor something.

Actual footage of my 2-hour studio teaching Photoshop on Macs during the current PHP hilarity. Some could log in. Some not. Some had Photoshop installed locally (yay!) some not. Some had Wacom drivers that were working, some not. Some could connect to One Drive. Some not. I am now eating my feelings

it's all fun and games on campus today, as AppsAnywhere (our cross-campus tool for getting into service-based software) is down. Probably due to the PHP hilarity. Am teaching Photoshop in half an hour. Via interpretative dance, it would seem.

A new Orc in a little back dress♥️. For Today #ink

OK, on to the final lecture. So nearly there, and we're only in week 4! 💪

KLAXXON: I have finished writing the religion in sci-fi lecture! It's taken me about 3 weeks, off and on, to write way too many slides and then to cut them down to a 45 minute presentation and 60 minute discussion. My workload model have me 2 hrs total.

OMFG this is so on the nose.

University of Nottingham, right now, is cutting 560 jobs. Do we need to rebrand universities as very large, very clean, land-based oil rigs to get government support?
