Rumour has it that Bristol must maintain its current level of roadworks because if all the cones were returned to the ETM depot at once they’d be enough concentrated mass to form a back hole.

Man in the mirror

I’m not saying the weather’s bad in Bristol but this is the first time I’ve ever had to use the straps on my Tilley hat.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Pay day treat’s arrived!

Nowadays, the internet sometimes feels like a once well-to-do neighbourhood that became a slum after an industrial park & motorway were built through it. And I'm the lifelong resident who refuses to leave, unable to accept that the decaying, now unsafe area will never regain its former grandeur.

Signing up to the next service I see that advertises itself as not asking for fucking feedback after every customer microtransaction. (If you've enjoyed this post, please rate my performance on a scale of 1-5. Further surveys may follow. Past performance is not an indicator of future returns.)

Hello, evening sun Hotwells.

BEHOLD THE POWER OF THIS FULLY-ARMED AND OPERATIONAL PEGBOARD

The place on Sydney Row always has good windows boxes, but sometimes there are seasonal extras. #bristol

Went for a little sunset walk #clevedon #photography #clevedonpier

A productive evening. Thanks to the Bristol Hackspace laser cutter and FreeCAD I now have a custom-size IKEA-SKÅDIS-compatible pegboard for the wall beside my desk...

Has Zack Polanski gone into hiding?

I presume this is a classic but I’ve not seen it in the wild before. #bristol

This is one of many reasons I remain living in a little flat in Hotwells: the things you happen to see when you pop out for a coffee. #Bristol

This evening I have mostly been cutting things with lasers #zap

Thank you so much for clearing that up, Microsoft Edge.

New post: “Why They're Building Muse” After reading Alexandr Wang's mission statement for Meta's new AI assistant, I have some modest improvements to suggest. https://coyotetracks.org/blog/why-building-muse/

For Christ's sake, The Guardian. I've *got* a perfectly decent password. Why do you need to email me a code to log in? What's this extra protection *for*? Is someone going to hack me and leave a right-wing comment under my name or something?

Not sure that there are many images more '1986' than Max Headroom on the cover of Crash ZX Spectrum. timworthington.org/2017/09/08/l...

Today I used a domestic degreaser to clean the front of my Bosch oven. And wiped off the symbols and numerals from around the main control and temperature knobs. Luckily I can remember where "180°C" was, and how to turn the oven on. Next time I want to grill something it's roulette time...

Peekabo. #MGB

Decided to treat myself to the pretty commute home yesterday. #bristol #ferry

My friend (and Coffee Club barista) Mabel went above and beyond normal latte art today after a conversation about music. #moomins #snufkin #harmonica

Me, reading your posts

sometimes I look at sofas that don't have proper armrests and it brings me, with deep horror, into the lives of people who apparently never lie down across their sofa and instead just sit on them (?) like circus freaks

Starting to feel like the best sci-fi property to understand the rise of machine intelligence might be Blade Runner, a story about two co-dependent species trapped in an endless dyad of making things just a little bit worse.

Nothing predicted the future of the internet more accurately than Nathan Barley.

When I bought a £130 folding exercise bike from Amazon a few years back I really wasn't expecting to get this far. I mean, however far 999.9km actually *is* on a stationary bike...

Oh nice.

Well that was an hour of python debugging to find the reason my #raspberrypi button wasn't responding that I'll never get back.

Not to brag, but our product has been foldable since 1828.

RP with your home river. (I like my home river. Can you tell?)

Went for a Bank Holiday walk yesterday. #bristol #leighwoods

Decluttering. Who remembers these? #apple #mac
