That Scream movie where I was sat wondering why Laurie Metcalf had taken such a weak female role and then, later on, oh!

There is apparently a mansion tax for properties over £2 million so expect to see a lot of shit about how that's the normal price of a house these days and average people are being affected.

"My first introduction to Ivor Cutler was his 1975 album, Velvet Donkey. It sounded like I’d stumbled upon some ancient relic; a pre-historic recording that only a select few had ever been granted the golden opportunity to hear"

Got clickbaited. So ashamed. Headline implied a well-known comedy film had to cut a scene following people walking out "disgusted" in test screenings, but actually, they'd cut a scene and had to put it back in because people were walking out at a character's behaviour, without the context.

Mothballed all our pre Lyttle Digs clips, so here's some old skool Elite Dangerous stream nonsense.

A productive morning scheduling season 2 Guess The Male Nipples over on YouTube. Used Blender to generate individual title cards for each episode because of course I did.
A partial screengrab from YouTube studio showing S2E13-E17 videos as scheduled.

Hey, I bet you didn't hear that Zork 1, 2, and 3 were open-sourced today!

…Oh, you have heard. Yeah. Way ahead of me. :)

Here's my comments, and some details that you might not have seen.

Zork is now open source
Two years ago, I wrote: Microsoft-the-company does not care about Infocom. But a lot of people in Microsoft must care. Microsoft is heavily populated by greying GenX nerds just like me. Folks who grew...

Remember very little about this show other than I loved it.

Dream jobs do come along… I’ve spent the last few months immersed in BBC Scotland’s City Lights as Assistant Producer on a new 60min doc telling the story of the show. With vintage clips + new interviews, it’s pure dead brilliant!

On telly/iPlayer 30th November.

Don't want to brag or anything but after several hours of work in multiple disciplines, I've just made something on my stream marginally better.

Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)
A Facebook post from Scrivener: "Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you're on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. Here's why, and what you can do if you want to remove this" attention-grabbing graphic says "SCRIVENER AND AI: WHY DO I SEE AI PROMPTS IN MY SCRIVENER PROJECTS ON MAC?"

PRODUCT IDEA: washing mitt marketed under the name "Walter Mitty". Comes in a box that's actually full of golf tees instead.

We need an update on this cartoon. I want to know what happened to Rob, and how is nephew is getting on...
https://xkcd.com/647/ A four panel stick figure cartoon featuring a man (Rob) and a child. 1) Rob is holding a torch under his chin: "But they never found the ghost's head!" Child: Lame story, Uncle Rob. Rob:And you could do scarier? Child: Sure. 2)Rob: Try Me. Child: 9/11 happened before I was born, yet I'm old enough to have this conversation with you. 3) Rob sits quietly contemplating. 4) Rob hugs his knees and lowers his head.
