  1. Only on the #IsleOfMan would there be a fire at the fire station... 🫣

    Trouble is, this was a combined ambulance and fire station so I spent some parts of my night shift homeless. 😭

Also in this one: the Isle of Man's AI office has missed one Strategy deadline and quietly slipped a second to 2027, Guernsey's citing IoM as its governance model, and if you're a Manx firm serving EU clients, Article 2(1)(c) might already apply, nobody can say for certain yet.

  4. Birthday Special: Historic Counties of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and Ireland 🇮🇪

    Introduction While many of the counties of the modern United Kingdom 🇬🇧, as well as some in the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪, have since been heavily modified and modernized into council areas, many historic counties and county names remain historically significant throughout the British Isles into the modern day.

  10. Spotted this shiny new lattice tower today. Looks like it might just survive a Manx winter, depending on what size antennas get fitted to it. #IsleOfMan

  12. 2/2: Buried in NIC.IM's own contract: any notice sent to your web agent counts as sent to you, whether they forward it or not. And a domain "is not an item of property and has no owner," just a registration entry that can lapse for reasons you'll never see. Same structural gap exists under UDRP and Nominet's .uk DRS too, not just .im. Full breakdown: haunted.lighthouse.co.im/artic

    Full breakdown: the mechanics, the registry check to see if your own estate has this closed, the Crown Dependency angle on the CLOUD Act, and sourcing throughout.

    The UK's CMA had to legislate that transparency into existence by force. Nine months to comply, and the underlying incentive to keep you inside the walled garden is untouched. Full piece: haunted.lighthouse.co.im/artic

  19. Ah the joys of steam packet travel, finding a text saying your boat is delayed at 0150 for 0215 sailing by two hours when you're already on the dockside checked in. Still , nearly home now #isleofman

  20. Belated #Tynwald holiday greetings to all my #manx friends on mastodon.
    Sorry it's late my wife and I have been out on the Fairfield since 0730 with her market stall.

  21. The 5th of July is traditionally Tynwald Day on the Isle of Man. However, when this occurs on a weekend it moves to the Monday, today. Tynwald Day is the national day of the Isle of Man with events occuring to mark the anniversary of the longest continuous legislature in the world - since 979. Here are some of my favourite places on the Island. The first image was taken at Cronk Keeill Abban which was a Viking assembly site 🇮🇲 #IsleOfMan #TynwaldDay #EllanVannin

  23. 2/2:
    So we built the alternative ourselves: a seven-row AI use risk register for the company, mapping every AI use case to a documented control. One afternoon, £0 spend. Two rows came back exposed rather than clean — we left the gaps in, because that's the actual tell for whether a register is real or just audit theatre.
    When the cert's worth it, when it's just protection money for a procurement checkbox:

  28. Some GIFs from the walk.

  29. Recent rain and a low tide made for some nice, cool early morning exploring. Waded through a diverse collection of plants and skittering critters. Spooked a big ol' fish that must have been trolling the shadows.

  31. A lady on the bus yesterday told us about the island’s new app, Kivoon. Son has been using it a lot.

    Regular readers will remember The Douglas Exposure (3 June). I asked the IOMFSA whether it models algorithmic index-inclusion contagion as a distinct risk category. The Isle of Man holds £88.1bn in life wrapper assets. Nasdaq fast entry means SpaceX inclusion lands as early as this week. haunted.lighthouse.co.im/artic #IsleOfMan #FinancialServices #DigitalSovereignty

  36. Also, tail end of low tide, went for an early walk and some wading.

  37. Woke to a smooth, calm ocean sunrise.

  38. Here’s another view of the 8 meter (26ft 3in) tall heron sculpture.

  39. I thought we went out to buy unscented laundry soap (long story) but ended up on old steam train, walking Castletown, lunch, bus to Port Erin for more walking, and bus ride back. For a little island there's a lot to see, many historical train options, and a nice bus network.

  40. Morning run down the promenade and beach.

  41. 5:15am and bleary-eyed we are heading for the ferry from the #IsleofMan to #Dublin. I love the absolutely bonkers IOM ferry terminal. Classic mid 1960's concrete architecture.
