Bristol Patchway station with a nice BSL installation at the moment! An alternative message might have been 'Together we are soaked and fed up of this dreary weather'. Might not fit on the fence, mind.

Spent the day converting my control mappings to be single inputs only!
It was previously clunky and less accessible with a series of dual button presses, taps and holds. Now though, much cleaner, easier to understand, and navigable with single, slower interactions. Success!

While chatting to a stranger in a crowd waiting for the Edinburgh cannons to fire, I unknowingly asked an undercover Adam Brody if his son wanted to sit on my shoulders as his were occupied and I'm taller and could see over the crowd
My partner was in SHOCK, and I politely had no idea who he was

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Gamer friends, I got a £20 Steam voucher for Christmas (yippee!)
What's good? What are your top secret 10/10 picks for a good game?
Bonus points if the game has fun/unique customisation, cool magic systems, a nice compelling story or incredible sound design.

I tried Gleam for Advent of Code, and I get the hype.
AoC was only 12 days this year (24 parts). The easy days were tougher than usual, the hard days were hard but fun.
Rust-like compiler errors, pipes everywhere, echo is great, fold_until feels like cheating.

A 12 day Advent of Code year convinced me Gleam is the real deal, thanks to Rust-like errors, great pipes, and surprisingly ergonomic FP.

Had a lovely time bringing out my first ever music gear today to jam for our wonderful 3rd years testing out broadcast gear!
These two are both around 14 years old at this point and very much kickstarted my audio career. I seem to have swapped them for 7 strings and blast beats these days, mind...

Today's #Movember proof of sweat. A slow 3km today which, for a computer scientist with a desk job and a dodgy hip that worsens in the cold, is not too shabby. Onwards!

Hey friends!
I'm gonna be running and walking 60km (with a moustache) for Movember!
You can donate, but it's more for mental health awareness for me.
Check in on each other. The world is fucked up at the moment, so tell your fellow humans you love them ♥️
