  1. And the winner of the 2026 best tanning salon name goes to Spar-Tan on Trimdon Street, Sunderland.

    Is there a technical term for these pun-based shop names, e.g. the fish and chip shop called The Codfather, etc etc? Share your favourites in the comments!

    PS. The shutter, now ghosted, looks to have been painted very recently, circa 2021: maps.app.goo.gl/ptRuBXLa8X8HZk.

  6. With the recent release of SmolServe v1.0, a lightweight server for serving #Gemini, #Gopher, #Finger and #Spartan, and the upcoming release of a Smolnet browser for Android devices which will also support lesser-known/newer protocols such as #Nex, #Text, #Scroll, #Titan, #Guppy, #Scorpion, #Mercury, #FSP, #Molerat and #Terse, it seems like the #smolweb and interest in it is far from having peaked yet.

  8. Oooh! I just learned that some of the AMD (Xilinx) Spartan Ultrascale+ FPGAs have a moderately large number of "HD" (high density) I/O pins. More than 300 in the biggest parts, which don't yet appear to be out.
    "HD" don't cover as many obscure I/O standards as the old "HR" (high range 1.2V to 3.3V) I/Os, but at least they do cover that voltage range.
    For a while, it was looking like AMD/Xilinx were moving away from providing 3.3V capable I/O pins.

  16. You can't park there, mate!

    I was near home when the traffic built up. This can't be football traffic already, i thought. It wasn't until I got to the roundabout that i could see why! Poor bugger had broken down. I would have offered to push but I had cycling shoes on so, slippy cleats and all that.... #spartan #tank #BrokenDown #ThingsYouSeeWhenCycling

  19. Today, for the first time ever, I simultaneously published a piece of content across five different media: a Weblog post, a video essay, a podcast episode, a Gemlog post, and a Spartanlog post.

    Must be about something important, right?

    Nope, it's a meandering journey to coming up with a design for a £5 coin that will never exist. Delightfully pointless. Being the Internet I want to see in the world.

  25. Well the team seems to have collectively decided we're doing the #Spartan 10k next year. I'm not entirely convinced that even a year is enough time for me to prepare, to be frank.
