I was hoping for Nazareth or Queen. Oh well. Next time maybe.

I was in Canada in 1977. Not one of these songs were played there then...

Loved reading Irreal's latest blog entry (https://irreal.org/blog/?p=13405) where they talk about y-or-n-p versus yes-or-no-p and the fact that many Emacs old-timers aliased the latter to the former, hating having to type out "yes" or "no".

Setting up this alias was literally the first line I […]

Any recommendations for software to collect and organise #bibliography, ideally #opensource, ideally integrated with a text editor. I know that such things exist for #emacs, and although I really dislike Emacs, I'm prepared to consider an Emacs-based solution here!

Waiting for the bus near Blackfriars Station. Turned out I was in the wrong place but I did appreciate the cityscape while I waited.

My single speed bike and I heading into central London for a meeting. I'm taking this bike because I cannot take a bike inside the building where the meeting is taking place. I'm hoping this bike is less attractive than any of my other bikes to would be […]

WARNING. Cadent is going to dig on #cs3 next to the signalled junction at the bottom of Blackfrias Bridge.
They are installing a safe temporary cycle lane, but the timing of the temporary light is a total mess.

I cannot find it on the map so not sure how long it will last […]

Wikipedia is celebrating its 25th anniversary in January, and our amazing creative teams in the Wikimedia Foundation put together this video that I love.

Fun fact! There are something like 500 attributions for images, sounds, and text in the video 🤯 […]

So life sometimes has its own way. I normally go out for a ride first thing in the morning, aiming to cycle 20-25 km. This morning, it was miserable: grey, wet, not warm. So I chickened out.

Later, I realised I need to go to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription. Decided to cycle on my single […]

After 1979, 1988 could be a relief... never thought I would have heard myself say that.

I'd hoped for Blondie and Rainbow... oh well.
