Coming across things I've written at some point I invariably find myself reflecting on either what an amazing insightful genius I can be, or how much of an incoherent moron. The latter is far more common.

I've also been able to listen to Another Monty Python record, which my dad had on vinyl and I haven't heard in years..... Remembered some of it almost word perfect.

Further reflections on this.... My immediate response was to listen to stuff I'd perhaps thought of buying but wasn't that committed to.... Then I listened to some stuff I haven't heard for a long time. Now I've gone thoroughly off piste and caught some Icelandic weird jazz thing... that I didn't hate... but boy is this a great way to discover new things.

I have finally succumbed to the streaming music subscription model with Apple Music. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this but it's so damn convenient.

Some thoughts on network resilience https://wifizoo.org/2019/09/30/network-resilience/

The phrase ‘vile loathsome pustule on the ballsack of humanity’ has just come to mind and I can only imagine using it to describe piers Morgan. Ideally to his face.

Having one of those days of frustration where I can't help but reflect on how many big decisions in my life have been shaped by misplaced loyalties and attachment to plans that haven't come to fruition. Happy Wednesday everyone.

A friend of mine has just discovered his business has been paying for a dialup service. Can't have been used in years. Vodafone have ditched their former Demon Internet ADSL service, but dialup lives on.

Successfully updated my ECSE to ECSE-Design yesterday.

It is time for breakfast.

I've been pretty quiet on here... How's everyone doing?

My two year old niece, who I suspect may already be able to outsmart me, has shown some really strong, patient, technical problem solving tendencies. I’d like to help her have the opportunity to learn how to code. So what advice/experience does anyone have on coding for young children. #codingforkids

I don’t understand the instagram bots that upload four (always four) sexy girl pictures then follow several thousand accounts. What are they trying to achieve?

Children spending some time away from the institution that prepares them to service the capitalist machine, in order to protest what that machine is doing, have my full support.
