We have varied success in growing things in pots, but the cat seems to be coming along nicely.

The world has officially gone mad when you can spend £800 on a tooth brush at Tesco.
It's currently reduced to £400. In my book this is still £380 too much.
They can **** right off.
Thought that I'd do the Introduction to Linux course on #edX as I am sure that there are loads of things that I don't know and really should. I'm not fussed about getting a certificate, so I just wanted to audit the course (the term edX have for following the lessons, but not getting the tests or other additional services).
What I didn't know was that if you don't pay not only do you get an avert to pay on every single page that reappears even if you close them, but also every page that you're not getting (because you're not paying) is replaced with another advert (along with the original advert) and then every 5th page or so you get another pop up advert.
This isn't what I would call reasonable. It almost makes the course impossible to do, especially if like me, you really, really, really hate f#(king adverts!
So I'm going to complete the course and I really hope that that they ask me for feedback so that I can tell them that they are a bunch of spamming ar$eholes.

I ordered the new #Pebble Time 2 months ago and that is due to arrive next month, but have just dug out my old original 2013 Pebbles to see if they still work. Looks like they power up at least. There was a fault on my original #Kickstarter watch which is why I have the second one.
Be interesting to see if either is usable once it's had time to charge.
This is the difference between getting a #takeaway from #Bedworth ( left ) and #Knowle ( right ). Both locations are in #Warwickshire, UK, should you be wondering.
There is a similar difference in the price, but not the food quality. Both are excellent.
About five and a half years ago I gave up freelancing and took a job with a local business. The company is good to work for but certain aspects of the team I've been in have been frustrating me. Mostly technical issues. Today was my last day in this team and next week I start in a new team.
As a freelancer I changed company every two years, so this has been a long stint, so it's good to be having a change again.
And if I'm really lucky I might just get a small pay rise out of this.

Finally got full fibre! Not yet done anything to really see the improvement yet but my first long Teams call will he its real test.

No one could have predicted this. No one I tell you.

The mandatory developer registration Google is imposing on Android raises concerns for developers in sanctioned countries, anonymous open-source contributors, and anyone building privacy or security tools. Google has a documented history of complying with government demands to remove apps. @keepandroidopen@techhub.social #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org
So we're back to that time when the #dawnchorus is a thing that I'm going to have to contend with.

They heard my cries of despair and the chiff-chaffs have returned.
Yes, I'm sure that's the reason. Chiff-chaffs clearly have Mastodon accounts.
Nothing to see here...

So, once again we are flooded. Local authorities have been informed weeks ago that this is almost a permanent feature now.
Dogs don't seem to mind, but I'm not happy.
