The Welbike was designed to fit into a CLE canister, the standard parachute airdrop container 51 inches long, 15 inches high, & 12 inches wide. Some 3,641 Welbikes were manufactured and though developed by the Special Operations Executive were used more by airborne troops (including in Operation Market Garden) then they were used by SOE operatives.(2/2)

The Welbike was an air-droppable, single-seat folding motorcycle produced during WW2 by the Excelsior Motor Company of Birmingham, England. The bike was developed at Station IX operating out of a mansion, "The Frythe,” located near the town of Welwyn. Products of the Station were named in a portmanteau of the town and the invented device, sometimes in code. Thus the motorcycle was referred to as the Welbike. (1/2)

I had fun playing Call of Duty Mobile, in the battle royale mode. I was like airborne style, using a helicopter, landing beside airdrops and getting the items inside them. When I found enemies, I made precise landings around them and then launched surprise attacks. When the other nearby opponents made it overwhelming for me, I escaped using a helicopter 🤣. I won first place.

#KnowledgeByte: #Airborne #Genetic #Material, commonly referred to as airborne #Environmental #DNA (eDNA), is the trace genetic material that organisms shed into the atmosphere.
This material—which includes fragments of skin, hair, saliva, pollen, and microscopic organisms—can be collected from the air to identify the presence of plants and animals without ever seeing them.

At a new GP practice (the old one literally threw his arms in the air and said I don't know what else to do, so...yeah). Anyway, huge big air filter in the corner of the waiting room.
You guessed it.
Turned OFF.
Sigh.

Download Festival 2025 Sunday
For the final day of Download Festival we got to the arena and finally found Mr Fox to watch Alien Ant Farm on the Opus stage. It was great to catch up with him and finally watch a band together in the beautiful sunshine.
Alien Ant FarmAlien Ant Farm opened up with ‘Courage’ followed by ‘Wish’ where Dryden (Lead Vocals) shouted out ‘Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3″ as this song was on the very popular video game.
They played 7 songs in total in front of a big band, it was awesome to watch ‘Movies’ and their version of ‘Smooth Criminal’ which is an amazing cover of the Michael Jackson classic.
https://open.spotify.com/track/0DVxWV6V1nWa7Ml68Frd3D?si=zYfZ9iW0QG2xllT_jXqy6A
The closest we could get to PresidentBefore the next band we went and got ourselves ice cream and made our way to the Dogtooth stage to see President for their first ever live performance. When we arrived at the tent it was already full and we had to watch from outside struggling to see anything, we listened to a few songs and then decided to leave due not not being able to see anything. The songs we listened to were ‘Fearless’ and ‘Dionysus’ which we enjoyed.
President where masks to hide their identity but everyone knows the singer is Charlie Simpson from Busted and Fightstar.

AirborneAfter the disappointment of not getting to watch President properly, we made our way back to the Opus stage to see Airbourne, a band from Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia.
They opened up with ‘Ready to Rock’ and Breakin’ Outta Hell’ getting the party started with a high energy performance and awesome riffs.
During a break between songs, Joel O’Keeffee (Lead Vocals, Lead Guitar) started to throw plastic cups of beer into the air and watching them fall down onto the crowd for them to catch, this was really fun to watch, especially when one of the beers landed perfectly onto a person sitting on someone’s shoulders, he caught it and got themselves a free beer which got a massive cheer from the crowd, we would like to see more of this from other bands.
Airbourne played 7 songs in total finishing off with new single ‘GUTSY’ and fan favourite Runnin’ Wild’. We really wanted them to stay longer and play ‘Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast’ and ‘Diamond In The Rough’ but we plan on seeing them again in the future.

Bullet For My ValentineFor our last band we went to the main stage to see Melodic Metalcore band Bullet For My Valentine, from Bridgend Wales. This is the first time we’ve seen this band live and was very excited, even more so as they were playing their debut album ‘The Poison’ all the way through.
After the intro played in the background they came out performing ‘Her Voice Resides’ to a massive crowd. Mosh pits followed as they performed fan favourites including ‘Tears Don’t Fall’ and ‘All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me) which we thoroughly enjoyed seeing live.
They continued through the album finishing with ‘The End’, to our surprise this wasn’t the end, as they came out again to do an encore, performing ‘Knives’ and ‘Waking the Demon’.
Overall we enjoyed our time at Download Festival and proved that we can visit everyday travelling from home, however we would like to experience camping there someday.

Open-sourcing a few reusable Play date #Lua gameplay systems from #Airborne! PD
Spent some time extracting and cleaning up a few reusable Lua #snippets from Airborne! PD for Playdate.
Mostly focused on:
- animated sprite mechanics
- object pooling
- data-driven wave systems
- per-frame sprite accounting
- datastore persistence
- lightweight rendering tricks
- achievement persistence system
These are small engineering notes and reusable gameplay patterns developed while building a performance-conscious Playdate project on constrained hardware.
Thought some of them might help newer #Playdate #developers getting started with optimization and gameplay systems.

I work in a #Library
I mask *not only* bc I'm over 65, but because our patrons are often members of vulnerable demographics:
#homeless
#disabled
#BIPOC
i.e., folks whose #Healthcare isn't trustworthy & never wasI don't want to be where they catch #COVID from, or whatever else may be #airborne
I don't want to catch something they haven't been able to avoid
It's #Solidarity, not pity. I wish more of my co-workers got that
