Me too, must be a marketing push

Some engineer made the mistake of joking about it, a PM overheard them, they mentioned it to management and heyyy…

(Maybe not but I’ve seen it happen before)

Ewan? Hah. Mum worked IT helpdesk at Bristol uni when he was a student, had trouble talking him through changing his password.

If you see this, post a concert picture you took

Well since AI is taking over digital, better get back to canvas and acrylics…

That’s assuming they can make it work, of course - I have faith in government outsourcing companies’ ability to screw anything up and charge us a lot of money for doing it

If it’s any consolation I don’t think they’ll stay up long right by YStJ campus. We’re keeping ladders and cable snips handy in case they come down this way

Early morning dog walks have some perks

Just like how you stop writing bugs

Not a bad haul for early autumn

A good question to which I don’t have an answer that begs yet another question. Best I can do is think that foreign policy was always the prerogative of the monarch and maybe an independent FSec was an anomaly while it lasted, and now the power’s back with the executive

Might give it a go again, we were a bit disappointed when we went just after they opened!

We bought the house purely for the garden, the house itself was a bit of an afterthought!

Well, this makes up for the darker mornings

Hence why people responded to Corbyn, Farage - stop gaming the possibilities and just bloody say *something*, otherwise someone else will

St George was, I think, from the Middle East! The English have a weird relationship with that flag. Because they’re the biggest bit of 🇬🇧 they (well, we) haven’t had to build a strong regional identity because we’re usually the ones the others are defining themselves against.

Elon or St George? True in both cases, mind.

Back from holiday and, thankfully, our street is free of flags.

keithwilliams.bsky.social
Well it’s not like you’d typically take a set of ladders on a dog walk, don’t be harsh on yourself

Might change when the students come back - or become a battle of the flags.

I usually hear that at least twice a day from my wife

Was hoping York wouldn’t get hit. Will be cross if I see any down Becky Lane when I get back from hols…

keithwilliams.bsky.social
Ooof. I still think 2004 is recent if I’m not careful!

keithwilliams.bsky.social
You seem very cross about this?

It’s less noticeable on a small screen for me, but yeah if I look closely I can see “ah that’s my old iPhone4” etc. But I’m used to B&W = my grandparents were young, 70s tint = my parents were young, 80s grain = I was a kid and then it’s just clear from the 90s on

I have all my photos from 2001 on iPhoto and when it suddenly highlights a bunch of me and $friend and one is from 2003 and the other from last Wednesday, it’s like the ending of Indy3
