Used up all 300 of my Kagi searches on the tier I was on. Switched to the unlimited $10 per month tier.

I’m going to be dandering along the boundary on this camera in a few minutes if you want to see what a lanky geek I am. Wearing an orange jacket.

It's weird hearing the ambulance sirens on the cricket commentary and in real-time from my desk.

I was given out caught behind at Stormont one night as an ambulance was passing. The bloody umpire gave me out when there was no way he could have heard a thin nick over the noise of the siren about 80m away on the road. I didn’t hit it!

That still bloody annoys me ☺️

I’m going to rejoin the local cricket club as a non-playing member.

Playing again would be madness. Watching from the bar with a pint is much more sensible.

I might also join the NICSSA Chess club in addition to the cricket club.

They also have other clubs such as rugby, hockey, tennis, football, athletics, archery, fencing, bowling, squash, table tennis, golf, and rambling. 14 different clubs in total. The rambling one might be worth looking into as well.

Wolfram live stream their language design sessions. Some of the discussions get salty. Such as Stephen Wolfram telling people he doesn’t like something. A new one has just started. They are also available on demand.

Finding it very hard to feel sympathy for these parents complaining about the Labour plan to change VAT rules for private schools.

My god. Grammarly loves to use the word "ensure”.

I've turned that suggestion off.

I'm not saying I've got the itch to play cricket again. But I'm not not saying that…

“You do not need to stop playing sports if you take bisoprolol. But do not push yourself too much.

Regular exercise is good for you because it lowers blood pressure by keeping your heart and blood vessels in good condition.

Be aware, though, that in some sports bisoprolol is not allowed if you're competing at a high level.”

In today’s good news column, we can put that I found out there is a sequel to the film Drive Away Dolls. It’s already been filmed and is currently in post-production.

I’m not sure if it’s a direct sequel or is just part of a film trilogy in the same style as Drive Away Dolls. Margaret Qualley is starring, but Geraldine Viswanathan and Beanie Feldstein don’t seem to be returning.

The new film is called Honey Don’t!

That national service idea is a dead cat on the table.

Spend a week talking about that rather than how shit the Conservatives have been in Government.

Sadly I think much of the progress in DEI and civil rights that happened after the murder of George Floyd has been eroded recently. 🙁

@ianbetteridge Could I ask what plugin or other method you use to send your Wordpress based email newsletter?

I want to add the functionality to my 3rd-party hosted Wordpress site.

I read some comments on the BBC site. With time and stiff walks in the country, I'll probably recover.

Never read comments on the internet.
