    How was your week?

    Jump

  • Travel for work during the week was not so great, but the long weekend was nice. We had friends over for BBQ on Saturday and today we made pizza in the Ooni bought on a whim 18 months ago. My wife absolutely nailed the sour dough and the pizzas came out great.

  • Originally used by Wolfgan Pauli, I believe. He also said “I don't mind your thinking slowly; I mind your publishing faster than you think.”

  • First BBQ of the season, which is always a good thing. Also went to see Northampton - Bath rugby match, which was very exciting as Northampton won with the last kick of the game.

  • I’m old enough to have lived through a good few of these technology hype cycles. There was a time when I too was excited about the imminent technology revolution and how things would soon be totally different. OK, that was a long time ago, but anyway, this time it’s really different… for reasons. Quite.

    I’m looking forward to having a really good laugh about the AI car crash that is coming. And if you think this time is different, we do have a really nice bridge near by that might be of interest to you. Just give me a call.

  • Mostly OK, but I’m battling box tree moths. We have a buxus hedge in front of our house, which we’ve been diligently tending for 20 years. These bastards are just munching through it. I sprayed the hedge with a parasite for these moths on Saturday, so let’s see how they like that. I fear this is a losing battle, though.

    Chisora arrives at news conference in a tank with Nigel Farage

    Jump

  • Not a tank in the Main Battle Tank sense, which is what I’d consider a tank. I can’t identify the platform from the picture, though.

    I wouldn’t attempt to fire anything through that “barrel“, and that “turret” wouldn’t be a place to be in under any sort of hostile activity, trebuchet shots or otherwise.

    Jump

  • I needed to travel for work, which I’m not at all keen to do these days. I never sleep well in hotels, so the weekend has mostly been recovering. I did get my car washed and various bits and pieces done in the garden, so that was nice.

  • Our dogs have decided to start howling when the ice cream van comes to our street. A serenade, if you like.

  • Indeed. Twisting those pins to a male port, with good pin contact and not touching adjacent pins, would be a feat I’d like to see. OP’s picture is just par for the course.

  • Now lets see the same hack but for the port above.

    Placement is important, folks

  • How was your week?

    Jump

  • Work after a week off is always busier catching up with things. By Tuesday afternoon I felt in need of another break. By the end of the week things were back to normal and the brief break long forgotten. On with the grind it is.

  • I was off work, which was great. Even better, we saw Alter Bridge on Wednesday.

    The setlist was awesome and they played great, as usual. When the first notes of Silent Divide hit in the beginning, every single hair in my arms was standing straight. On the downside, now I’ve had an ear worm since the concert.
