Quick question for other solar panel owners - how long before you stop just staring at the control panel watching all the pretty graphs? 😃 ☀️

After years of saying "that roof is perfect for solar panels", our roof is now covered with solar panels.

I mean, they're not wired into anything yet, but they look very pretty.

@ahnlak congrats!

@bexxi I am, of course, now resenting every last photon that hits them and doesn't give me free electricity 😉

I'm resisting getting into an argument in the local Facebook group.

I feel this entitles me to a cake, or something.

Ooh, I appear to have (slightly accidentally) logged my first Subject Access Request.

(all I did was reply, rather snarkily, to a psuedo-spammer asking where they'd got the obviously-made-up email address from...)

@aaisp possibly a stupid question, but are your eSIMs moveable?

For example, if I went on holiday and wanted an alternate eSIM for roaming, would I be able to put your old eSIM back on after?

I only ask because whenever I've been roaming they've been very focused on the whole "it's a one time thing, once you take it off your phone it's gone forever".

(hmm, this also assumes my phone can only have one eSIM, which I ... am not sure about)

@ahnlak For a start, phones can often handle many eSIMs. I believe iPhones can handle 8. You can have two active SIM/eSIM at a time but switch as needed.

There is a process to move an eSIM, involving deleting from old phone and us issuing a new QR code to install in another. We have yet to test this.

@aaisp yeah I realised after I asked that my phone would handle multiple eSIMs, so I'm probably worrying over nothing ;-)

Sales drones; when I reach the stage of asking, pointedly, on what legal basis you're making this unsolicited marketing call, please take it as a sign that I'm unlikely to be buying anything from you and don't continue to argue that you have somehow legitimately bought my details.

I would click on the link in this email from "HMRC Government Gateway", but I'm

(a) unconvinced that HMRC send emails from gmail, and
(b) unconvinced that they use any URLs starting 'cuddlepig' for their official websites.

Nice try though.

You know, it's days like this that make me suspect that it might be time for this...

Finally got fed up enough with stupid firewalls that can't handle subnets, and set my IPv6 to something static (instead of cycling every day).

Now to scatter '533:bad:c0de' throughout logfiles around the world...

Nothing quite like a morning spent solving a problem that, it turns out, 5-years-ago-me already solved.

The only thing we get to vote on this May is the PCC; rarely have I read through all the candidate statements and felt such a strong "Christ Almighty, the squirrels in my garden would be a better choice than any of you" vibe.

I love Korean TV, but the more I watch the more I realise that their entire industry appears to have one courtroom they use for all dramas. Also, one emergency room and one hospital room. And some of their cafes are starting to look very familiar too...

Thanks to what I can only assume is a hilariously bad bit of stock planning, the local Tesco is selling boxes of Creme Eggs off at 62p, which is a shade over 12p per egg.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in a diabetic coma in the corner.

Ahh, the joy of spending the day patching up little niggles after a major website overhaul.

You can test all you want, there's no substitute for live data and live users for finding all the nooks and crannies you've dropped something, is there?

I know it's supposed to be helpful, but sometimes couriers just sound ... sinister.

I keep expecting them to follow up with a demand for bitcoin.

@karohemd not yet; apparently is coming "by 10pm". So now they're in a race with Amazon... /sigh

Bah. Not only have they decided they can't be bothered to deliver it today, they sent me another taunting email saying "ha! we've got your parcel again!"
