MHK candidate: If you're going to quote Max Weber, at least pronounce his name right.

Everyone wants my SECOND vote for the upcoming Isle of Man election.

So not only do I burn through my JetBrains AI credits in a single question, but what I have left expires in a couple of weeks. Guess I still need to know what I'm doing.

Someone needs firing at Odeon. Or maybe a manager has been vibe coding. Can't book any tickets anywhere. On web or mobile. No wonder cinemas are struggling.

We're on our third and final day of our summer weekend for our group, drawing a close to my second year as a Scout Leader. I've learnt so much and met some great people, receiving great LOCAL support. Almost nothing national. Already planning next term and looking forward to another year.

Between a Lenovo laptop I cannot trust to work and OSM not working, I'm struggling to plan for anything for the Scouts. If it wasn't for all the paperwork ...

This would have made a brilliant hike for Scouts. Luckily I reccied it first. Couldn't find the Letterbox, unstable paths, potential fall hazards onto barbed wire, 50mph road, shall I continue?

I've finally made CSS reliable and easy. Use Claude to do it for you.

I wonder how Andy Burnham is going to be shuttling to/from the North. His security requirements would likely require a private jet, but that flies in the face of climate action. Ed would not be pleased.

What is most impressive about AI is it gets "it's" and "its" right. Unlike most humans.

Have the BBC learnt how to show a tennis match? Shot behind the receiver where you can really appreciate the speed and spin of the ball? Oh, no. Back to the overhead. With all the camera angles and iPlayer, surely I should be able to pick my own angles? The rest can use the main feed.

Isn't it lucky that the commentators at Wimbledon have VT all lined-up with the same technical details ready to play?

I reccied a hike from Snaefell Summit to Laxey yesterday for Scouts. I'm still achey. Yet Mansour Bahrami still hops around a tennis court0 aged 70+.

I happen to know (I've been told by the BBC) that Djokovic was LIMPING in the first set. Maybe I was watching a different match.

Can Trump not place a call? Surely selling out Canada for the 51st state would be worth an Auger-Aliassime win?

HMV are running on Azure, perhaps. And their .com address is down. Off to Amazon I go. I did try.

Djokovic taking a medical timeout on the first set of a big game? He hasn't done that before.

Lol. Look what I posted last year. And he's not working for the BBC this year.

Auger-Aliassime is the best chance in his match of knocking Djokovic out and it's looking like an epic. So obviously the BBC are concentrating on a one-way match on Centre with Sinner. It's like they don't even know.

My compass isn't working.

Why you shouldn't do drugs and don't have drugs done to you. Stunning dancing, though. boxd.it/ikvo

All Common Nouns are equal but some are more equal than others and get capitalised.

More stupid UX by Google. Like they care. Google Play Store. They've moved the Search button from the top WHERE EVERYONE ELSE HAS IT to the bottom, but then you have to go right back up to the top again to type anything in.

Poor UX design by Google. These two buttons used to be the other way round. Parents watch out.

Just in case you forgot: Labour are committed to removing all civil liberties over time (ID cards, now Jury-less trials) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The best and worst thing an employer can do is provide a developer with a laptop and a connection to the office.

I always try local first. But whilst complaining about lack of trade or support, local organisations don't help me give them trade/interest/support, is it any wonder people go to Amazon?

So a Police Officer can kill a man and get away with it, but am MLRO goes to jail if they fail to report?

If power usage in Azure (or other cloud provider) is aggregated and more efficient, we should know how that helps our green credentials. Unless it doesn't ...

This year I saw Carl Cox on the start line for TT. For this year's MGP, it was Noel Edmonds. It's getting better.

First time Trump would have thought of "Alaska", probably.

What Manx culture needs is angry rap, Kneecap style. TESCOS WAS MENTAL I FORGOT THE F'IN CEREAL or YOU HAVEN'T A CLUE QUARTBRIDGE IS EMPTY WITHOUT YOU

Watching Knight Rider boxset. And it's awesome. My son thinks I'm from the stone age. He's missing out.

Sorry, I thought yesterday was a victory in tennis not who was in the posh seats.

Very pleased to hear Andre Agassi tell the BBC commentary team that he didn't care who was in the crowd, that he was there "to talk about the tennis.". When will the BBC stop fawning on so-called "celebs" in the Wimbledon crowd and concentrate on the sport?

Found King of the Hill on Disney+. Thought that was supposed to be satirical, not a documentary.

Finally a use for AI. "As a Scout Leader, can I do ..." I could either read the extensive rules myself or get Copilot to do it for me and give me references.

Tynwald Day today, whilst reading out the new legislation in Manx. Seems there's no word for "vaping". It's just "vapal".

Apparently pronounced Foo-CHA-vich. Thankfully.

Next Scouts challenge I'm trying to come up with food that can be cooked outside, is devoid of allergens, suitable for all faiths, defeats fussy eating, suitable for pescatarians, vegetarians & vegans. Thinking hot dogs for one option (easy to cook, flexible). Need another option. Ideas welcome!

Trying to keep Cubs and Scouts in a group but they want to play hide and seek...

If the future of the web is AI endpoints powered by MCP, it makes web site development so much easier.

It sounds as if Apple have invented Windows Vista (glass UI) and Windows 8 (Spotlight). Let's see if that works out better. (I quite liked the Charms bar in Windows 8 and how you interacted with the search function)

Exploring what makes people "evil".

Well deserved. Only 39 more years to go for me ...

Look what arrived just in time for Father's Day.

BBC News - WhatsApp backs Apple in its legal row with the UK over user data www.bbc.com/news/article...

Maybe this was the bridge we were looking for. New plan needed.
