Taking the moral high ground and salting the low ground

I know you should try to be the bigger person when someone does something to annoy you, but it always ends up making me feel like a chump.


Any showrunners in the US wondering whether to put their show on ice because of the writers' strike; watch Heroes season one. Then watch Heroes season two.

Ardingly Reservoir to Ouse Viaduct

When we went to eat cheese last weekend, I saw a lovely little forested area that was filled with a carpet of bluebells. I checked the map and we were next to a viaduct I didn't know about. Jackpot.


I thought I had pretty good rhythm until I tried to put down two bars of a four-on-the-floor kickdrum and actually no I do not have good rhythm at all. Even with a metronome it's not even close.


I don't know why you'd expend any energy posting to Twitter at the moment. I don't read much news, but Boing Boing is constantly reporting on the ridiculously poor management and leadership at that company. It can't be long until it's all gone, or is El*n trying to prove that it's too big to fail?

Get all your stuff out of there and go somewhere else. Preferably somewhere you own.

Pick & Cheese

We saw about this place on Jolly, and I've wanted to take Charlotte there ever since.

Cult of the Lamb

I slept on this for so long. No real reason. Had it in my Steam library for a while but just didn't start it. Played a few minutes and nothing clicked.

InCarNation 2023

Lucked onto this car show for the second time. I need to follow them on social media or something. There was so many MX-5s this year. I love what people are doing with them now. So many old Fiestas as well. Would love to have one of those.


Top three places my watch's hourly Stand Goal has activated last minute:

Carbohydrates

Carbs are my favourite; did you know? This isn't only going to be pictures of food, and it's over the course of a month so give me a break (it's still not good 🤫 I know).

What I'm saying is it's another photo dump post.


I want to love Elden Ring. Is there such a thing as an Elden Ring sherpa? I just need someone to hold my hand until I can walk on my own.

Hey Jasper, what keyboards are you using at the moment?

I'm so glad you asked, title! I wish the Le Chiffre (strange phrasing, that) had made it into rotation but it aggravates my RSI so I don't think it will.


Is there anything less funny than a local community Facebook group on April Fool's day?


If I were to give one piece of advice to someone, it would be to take photos of everything. The people you love, the things you love, the things you do. There will be times in your life when you want to surface forgotten memories on command, and photos and video are perfect for that.

I wish I could also recommend to categorise images as you take them but that is a waste of life. I spent hours looking over the last ten years of my life this week, and it's so strange to view that amount of time compressed like that. The points in your life that overlap chronologically but not in your head, are quite interesting.

Also, be careful with rsync --delete. I lost years of photos to reckless use of that command and it haunts me 13 years later.

P3D Le Chiffre Invisibolt

I've wanted one of these for ages but I thought it was a limited group buy. P3D has the goods, and they are worth it!


Community is one of very few shows that consistently make me laugh, no matter how many times I've seen it. The episode where Jeff plays pool in shorts just nearly made me suffocate.

Sudo; 28/09/2009 - 27/03/2023

Today we said goodbye to the best dog I have ever known. An absolutely wonderful companion to all of us, but especially Tabitha as he informed a true love and compassion for animals that is fundamental to who she is.

Tabitha is Ten

We've been parents for a decade. It's surreal to think about how much has changed in that time. How much a person changes from 0-10, and 27-37; and how much stays the same.

How my day starts, and how it ends

Sudo is very old. He can't make it through the night sometimes, so I've started getting up with the sun to let him out.


Messages has been around since 2009, and it's still a problem that when someone sends me a message that gets converted to an SMS, Messages doesn't automatically go "oh maybe this person is currently out of data - let's switch to SMS until they send another iMessage". I refuse to believe I'm the only person who experiences this.
