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!
My favourite bowling end was from the far end in this video feed. Bowling up the very slight hill from the City End. It was my favourite place to bowl from all the grounds I played on. Home ground. ☺️
Have any of you used any of the importer scripts designed to import a Twitter archive into DayOne?
I have all my Mastodon and Instagram posts automatically going into DayOne via IFTTT. If I can get my Twitter Archive imported I'll have more or less everything I've posted since 2008 in DayOne.
One of my Mastodon posts appeared near the top of a Kagi search I did yesterday. It’s good to Kagi (or some index they are using) is crawling Mastondon dot social. I suspect others will disagree with this view.

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.
@bdudney It’s more interesting to me to hear the others argue against him. And his acceptance of their points on occasions. He is the CEO and the company is named after him. But he does seem to want people to push back.
