Four weeks ago I was in downtown Manhattan for the world premiere event for C++: The Documentary. It was great to see two theaters full of enthusiastic C++ developers, and getting to mingle with them all before and after the film....
This week was a bit on the warm side wasn't it? This meant I didn't really have much energy left for things outside of work, and staying cool/alive... I think we got to the upper 30s last week and the UK hit hottest June day records...
by Nathaniel R First still from WERWULF. Can it follow in Nosferatu's footsteps and receive craft nominations? We started with Costume Design (we're partial to those threads, don'cha know) but now the rest of the first round predictions...
Everywhere you turn, there's advice pouring from every media orifice. Indeed, there is a concerted campaign running through unnamed (naturally) Labour MPs, the right wing press, and former military brass saying what Andy Burnham needs to...
Status: Spent a lovely afternoon in the garden enjoying the cool breeze, at one point considering fetching a hoodie. Madness. Have been thinking about this blog a fair bit this week. Nothing too concrete — I’m very happy to let it slowly...
What I’m about to share will age me. And while a new development with my health isn’t really good, I somehow feel like I’ve advanced or graduated to more maturity. Maybe it’s like I earned a merit badge? Weird. Well, Friday I found...
While I am hard at work on getting one more big post done before the end of June, I wanted to write up this quick housekeeping matter because I think it will be of interest to people who read this site.When I first started Thrilling...
Been on a kung fu film kick as of late. Old favorites like drunken master and master of the flying guillotine along with watching more obscure or modern films. I think my two favorites are kung fu hustle and master of the flying...
I had a great week driving the Miata back and forth to work. Whatever compunctions I had about the straight-line power are vanquished. No, it’s not as fast as the Mustang, and where I live, in southern NJ, we have a lot of long, straight...
Had a better time at basketball on Monday. It was a fairly low bar, so after a made a lay-up off the first possession I'd already surpassed my own expectations. Was slightly concerned that the sports hall might have been a furnace with...
There are good ideas, bad ideas and the ideas I get when sitting on a couch holding the paw of my dog for two weeks (while she is recovering from surgery). One thing I am really not a fan of is the current landscape of CalDav servers. So...
Another Monday Message Board. Post comments on any topic. Civil discussion and no coarse language please. Side discussions and idees fixes to the sandpits, please. I’m now using Substack as a blogging platform, and for my monthly email...
It’s such an incredibly dull thing to have to comment on but holy fuck has it been hot. Our flat can handle a day or two of heat but by day three it’s a difficult-to-cool furnace. Our lads have been melting, I’m glad it’s a little...
Hot week. We never got above 29 so it was bad but not as bad as South of England and Europe…anyone saying climate change isn’t a thing needs to be muted and ignored forever. Idiots. Lots of frustration around work and life at the moment,...
I was fortunate enough to grow up through the attitude era of the WWE (WWF at the time) and that was likely the hottest wrestling is ever likely to be. Since then, I've checked in and out of wrestling throughout the years. AEW coming...
