Ten years ago today I responded to this forum post on acorndomains.co.uk, asking for help building @childcare. I was already in a full time job, but I spoke to the founder and took the work on in my spare time, a few hours per week.

I tell you what @SullyK_23, there were some tears in the Marshall household when this went down! Worst I've seen our @KevMarshall84

35 years ago today! One of the most talked-about moments of my career. Savage learned like all the rest... you play with The Snake, you WILL be bitten. #TrustMe

Replying to @WSJ
Writing this headline about this out-of-this-word presentation marking a monumental technical achievement reiterates that WSJ has given up writing credible accounts of reality for regular people to read.

I will admit, I am enjoying vibe coding. I may have been a teensy tiny bit wrong.

The $150 billion estimate includes $85.2B in infrastructure capital and $66.3B for 40 years of operations and maintenance. 🚄 Here's how the cost per kilometre compares to other major high-speed rail projects around the world.

A long time ago, in a Premier League far, far away… Before VAR. Before social media. Before £100m footballers. There was moi 28 August 1994 — 3 goals. 4 minutes 33 seconds. (Still the best in my eyes,sorry Sadio) The fastest Premier League hat-trick ever at the time. Something I'm still incredibly proud of ... @LFC ❤️

THE ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re going to make the prophecy of The Year of Linux on the Desktop come true. All the pieces are now in place. Time to go all in! omarchy.org/news/2026/08/oma…

Omacom Foundation launches with $23.7 million - Omarchy News

It’s time to dream big. Omarchy Quattro has given people a chance to experience what the malleable computer of the future looks like, and they like it (a lot!). It now feels like a moral obligation...

At David Niven’s funeral the largest wreath was from the porters at Heathrow Airport. The card with it read “To the finest gentleman who ever walked these halls. He made a porter feel like a king”

I think maybe 2005 was the year of the Linux on the Desktop for me. It's been a Frankenstein's monster based on xubuntu and awesomewm for at least the last 8 years. I've been thinking 2026 might be the year I decide to try letting others decide for me again.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

Oh god, is this how it starts? I'm already coming up with use cases, such as converting all my typescript into javascript. Sure, claude, let's see what you got! Can I still make fun of vibe coders if I become one?

Sometimes feel like Claude Code is choosing particular obscure or composite shell commands that require approval, just to push me into turning on auto-mode...
