I guess it's time for a reintroduction!
Software developer from South Wales. Used to be a physicist, always will be one at heart. Got a PhD and everything.
Also a musician (violin/fiddle).
Recently dived into the Teletext enthusiast world, and fused that with Trek on my very own Teletext service!

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Finally plucked up the courage to try out the hot air station I bought in...*checks notes*...Feb 2024 😮
Getting this newfangled glued-on back off this old phone was disconcerting, but I did it. Now waiting for a £4 power/volume button replacement part.
If I pull this repair off, I'll be chuffed!

Made this meme ten years ago. Still true.
Typos are forgivable. We're all human. It just baffles me how anyone could interact with the text in their graphic designs quite so much - font choice, colouration, shape, kerning, etc. - and still not notice that they'd missed entire words out sometimes.

I'm very much a fan of baskets in the middle of the store. It's perfect for the thing we all do, which is to assume we definitely won't need a basket, then we subsequently realise halfway through our shop that we really should have picked up a basket, and bam, there they are, just when we need one!

*sat with family, eating food in my living room / kitchen / diner, but not bothering with the dining table this time, just perching plates on laps and/or available corners of other nearby surfaces*

Non-slip, too 😉

Me, watching Star Trek: Picard, Season 2:
"It's a great story, but setting the time travel stuff in 2024 and making ICE out to be this huge domineering entity we should all be terrified of isn't going to age well, there's just no way anyone would stand for it in our real timeline."
Me, now:
"Oh."

After years of light dabbling / copying-and-pasting commands from forum posts with only a vague idea of what I'm doing, Linux has finally infiltrated my brain by osmosis.
Opened a Windows command prompt (i.e. DOS), wanted to list the files in a directory, and instinctively typed 'ls', not 'dir' 😮

Does this mean that Trump has set a precedent for it being acceptable to kidnap Trump? 🤔
Nicolás Maduro "wasn’t captured," says Venezuelan reporter Andreína Chávez in Caracas. "This is a kidnapping. The United States has just kidnapped a constitutionally elected president."
Maduro Abducted as Trump Says “We Are Going to Run” Venezuela
Amy Goodman and Juan González host breaking news coverage on U.S. forces attacking Venezuela and seizing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. We speak to Venezuelan reporter Andreína Chávez in Caracas...

"Up next on ITV2, Inside M&S at Christmas."
My genuine first thought: "Good gosh, that's a fast turnaround...have they really made a documentary about the nefarious goings-on in the former Neath store already?!"

When I was picking up a few extra pressies, I couldn't resist buying myself this mini nativity. It can't be more than about two inches high. Maybe I'm choosing to let it symbolise that it's the little things that help us get through the big things?

Unexpected everyday sexism in the run up to Christmas! After I tried this out to check it was working, I needed to let off a bit of steam as well...

I've always loved Star Trek: The Next Generation, and decided to do a deep dive into how the VFX teams created the effects in the days before digital compositing and 3D rendering. I learned show much and wanted to share it.
