  1. Is anyone else tired of the BBC’s insistence on calling radio programmes podcasts just because you’re listening using iPlayer radio? (Okay, BBC Sounds, if you really must). It isn’t as though they call television programmes ”vodcasts” whenever you watch them using an “on demand” service.

  3. Somewhere between brushing my teeth and getting dressed this morning, I managed to either pull something in my hip or pinch a nerve such that I've been limping around the house and having a hard time getting in and out of chairs, etc., all day! I mean, I've never been a morning person, but this is a bit much for a rainy Thursday...

  7. The grind continues. Just got a reminder my car insurance is due next month, and I'm still not out of my overdraft, let alone have any money put away for the dental work.

    Not much work is coming in either.

    My teeth will just have to wait, the car insurance renewal can always be cancelled... I've got two social events planned that are already paid for by friends but other than that... yeah.

    My health precludes me just getting a part time job, and I'm still waiting on the PIP appeal.

  8. Grumpily registering to attend the InternetNZ AGM because apparently there is some stupid shit to vote against. #Grump

  9. I’m not sure quite why the RAF saw fit to fly circuits around Cardiff in a Chinook at midnight, but I’m reasonably sure I’m not alone in rather preferring that they hadn’t… #soLoud #grump

  10. If the best hope we have in the field of #UIDesign is copying Apple copying themselves, just put me in a bunker with some rations, a raspberry pi, a vt320, and leave me the hell alone.

  13. YouTube: Customize your feed!

    Me: What's the point? You'll let the algorithm override it anyway. For the umpteenth time.

  14. "Ah, yes. I'm so thankful for the little bit of sunlight when I go to work in the mornings. It's totally worth my entire evening being shrouded in darkness," SAID NO SANE PERSON, EVER.

  15. It's November the first so all the Christmas adverts have started.

    I have a new resolution. I shall not buy anything I see advertised with a Christmas advert before the beginning of Advent.

  16. Today #Grump turns on Liz #Cheney and his supporters are happy, because it is not them. But what they fail to realize, is that the arbitrary ruler Grump wants to become with his #Project2025 puts anyone in peril of getting on his enemy list. Also devoted supporters.

  17. Why, when releasing Python software, is there always a change to some dependency (such as documentation generation) that causes no-end of faffing around to fix things that no-one cares about.

  18. Wow, I had no idea what Sesame Street was talking about with this in the 1980s. #Grump
