My new year's resolution is to be more cringe.
It's going to be tough but I'm determined.

Hi, I'm
a speeding bus that didn't stop & hit the side of a car a child was on
a driver who lost control
a 2004 festival crowd watching Muse
dangerously bad dates
the stress of various third sector jobs
poor life choices
mixing household cleaning products
the wrong medication
my own dark thoughts

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you:
Hi, I'm a 1AM drive back to home after attending a concert in the major city an hour away, that resulted in you falling asleep at the wheel on the freeway, mounting the curb & spinnning out of control at 70mph. Luck was on your side that night.

Nik’s funeral is taking place on 30th December at 1pm GMT. For those that can’t attend, the funeral will be live-streamed. We have tried to contact as many of Nik’s friends as we could, but we may have missed some. The link is watch.obitus.com username: cuma6886 pin:962499

I got nerd sniped. My friend decided to do Advent of Code 2025 in COBOL because he's a massive nerd, but he stumbled at Day 1, Part 1.
So... I have now done AOC 2025 Day 1, Part 1 in COBOL*. I'll see if I can have a crack at P2 tomorrow.

Really shocked to see this news. I've known Nik for 20 years. I think he'd be blown away by all the responses to his sudden passing. Very sad news indeed.
This is absolutely heartbreaking news.

our incredible features editor, sadly passed away yesterday. He was an incredible asset to the magazine and a compassionate and fantastic friend. My thoughts go out to his friends and family.
I just can’t believe he’s gone

I'm on wet sticky packed Northern line train at rush hour, heading to the City on a Thursday morning. I'm already questioning all the choices that led me here.
Then I look up and see this and question my fundamental understanding of the English language.

Really enjoyed the first session of #Halfstack 2025.
It highlighted some of pitfalls of being an occasional front-end full-stacker... and left me feeling hopeful. Yes, hopeful.

And from Berlin straight to London for HalfStack where I will be giving a new talk about Baseline.
I'll be talking about the issues that web developers have keeping up with the ever expanding web platform and how to deal with browser compatibility and interoperability.
