Purescript, Erlang, Rust, C, Typescript - but probably actually talking shit about video games or shit talking about code. I hail from http://codeofrob.com and that probably tells you everything you need to know about the quality of my posts.
Oh my god, five year olds are relentless, “WHEN ARE YOU FINISHED I WANT TO PLAY THE DRUMS” he shouts from the hallway as I’m sat on the bog.

Fair play to Starsailor, front loaded their set with the bangers, shoved in a few of their newer tunes, more bangers - cracking voice still, been well over a decade since I last saw them but very much still going strong 💪

Bleh, hoped Haiver would learn that duet singing in unison sounds like an amateur school concert, but the new single demonstrates that no, they’re sticking with it - in the sea with ya 🚮

5w driver and 4i all coming into play finally as the million things you have to remember for a golf swing start to get internalised - headed to the range this evening with a single swing thought I wanted to try out, absolutely nailed it - I’m gonna lose so many golf balls tomorrow.

Well this represents a bit of a leap, suspect it’s time to stop sending updates to my dad so when we play next he can be pleasantly surprised or at least I won’t get his hopes up and then play like trash…

Well fuck, it was worth the hassle and I didn’t end up surrounded by complete assholes in the arena

Shocking stuff

Girding my loins before I traipse up to the o2 arena for Radiohead, how much alcohol is enough alcohol for the o2 arena and how much is too much for Radiohead (while still being drunk enough to ignore the fact that thom yorke can barely hit a note these days?)

I've been a heel
I've been a credit
To all of the liars I stood on to get here
Timing is everything I will show you the ropes

as Phillips O'Brien also points out, this plan has been in negotiation for a long time, probably since Trump took office.

Just played the first hour of expedition 33 again, hot damn…

For a brief moment today, competence was experienced, power now coming from the body and not the arms, hinge from wrists is entirely passive, and if I remember not to twat the ball it goes in a straight line and very much far enough - next season is gonna be great.

Good to see CO E33 get so much recognition in the TGA nominations, I wish I could play it again for the first time.

Just went for an hour long golf lesson with my dad’s golf pro, completely tore my swing apart and rebuilt it but fuck me, the 4i, 5w and driver suddenly flying for days, I’ll remember none of it tomorrow on the course but what a feeling.

Just me, writing posts about AI on LinkedIn, oh no.

9 iron, 9 iron, SW - made it look easy today, please let me remember how to do this when I’m in Spain in a few days 😂

Current status: waiting around the shop at 9:50am with my groceries so I can add a six pack of beer to my trolley and not come back later because licensing laws in Scotland are still full blown retarded.

Elon: "People need to make more children, we have a responsibility to breed"
Also Elon:
"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Golf turned a corner this week so it seems, I still can’t hit the big stick but I just did a round sticking to the 5w only and didn’t get a single hole over +2 (pictured a little 5w practise shot before I went on course - it’ll do!)

My First Par 🐞
November 4, 2025 at 10:42 AM
Empty golf course, sun was out, 18 holes in 2h30 and beat my PB because I was able to hit the ball with various sticks to various distances for a change

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Seeing as jury duty has put the kabosh on my tee off on Monday, (forecast: sunny 😭) and my lesson after that, I’m donning my full golf cunt outfit and heading out to an 18 hole muni at midday (£10 a round), are they ready for me? Am I ready for it? Fuck knows, I’ve got lots of spare balls though.

Reeling from a round of golf this morning where I flushed most of my irons, hit a few good woods and didn't slice the driver out into the cow field next to the course. As hard as it has been to accept, swinging slowly is the answer to getting the ball even further - I have no idea how this works.

Looks like I'm up in time to watch the last two laps of the backyard ultra WC. Ivo is saying he doesn't want to run another one and Phil is looking fresh as daisies and probably mildly annoyed he doesn't get to set a WR (once you run a lap alone you're the winner, no more after that)
