Logged onto my old email account today. It appears 7 months on, I have been unbanned by WordPress. I hope the people that mattered got unblocked, and that they have been given an apology.

One of the magic things about being a human engineer is you can go to sleep with a problem and magically wake up in the morning with a solution in your head. One of the curses is you might wake up at 04:00 with the solution in your head. Good luck getting back to sleep. 😊

If you are a retro gamer who likes Beneath a Steel Sky or Cannon Fodder, you should check out a new game created by @stoocambridge.bsky.social and @tonywarriner.bsky.social from the studios behind those games Kickstarter launched <12 hours ago, nearly 200% funded! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ton...

I saw this headline and thought it looked familiar. Completely forgot for a second that I wrote this feature and blog post 🤦‍♂️

Needed to do some TPM testing at work and the only Infineon TPM I had was on mikroBus 😂

Figured out why my Fluke 45 stopped working. It actually had the battery module in it (I didn't realise) and the battery module is dead.

I have been repairing an #Amiga 4000 motherboard with lots of little faults, none of them battery damage related. This post contains the details of what I found and how I fixed it. linuxjedi.co.uk/amiga-4000-w...

I might have found a board which is too much of a challenge…

I recently had a chat with @kateholterhoff.bsky.social about the #WordPress community. It is worth a list if you want to find out a little more about the battles going on.

I upgraded my @frame.work laptop recently, which in this case meant a motherboard swap and a new matte display. For a small fee you can buy this case. It turns my old motherboard into a desktop PC, which will be for @appleyardcandles.bsky.social to use in her new workshop.

It seems no matter where I work, I can't avoid terminology which is difficult to say in public in the UK around non-technical people. In databases it was "Mongo". In cryptography, it is the term "nonce".

I chatted with @linuxjedi.co.uk about what he terms "a war going on within the @wordpress.org community." For this @redmonk.com conversation, we discuss the current litigation, it's broader implications for oss, and his WordPress Slack ban. redmonk.com/blog/2025/03... youtube.com/shorts/c-sWc...

It took me way too long to spot this blob of plastic. It was causing the 3D printer bed leveling to constantly fail.

New mixer to go with my 486 PC. It is a bit discoloured but works really well. When fully setup, I will have my Roland SC-55 and MT-32 connected to it, along with the PC sound card.

There is some kind of irony having a Windows recovery screen on a bus that broke down taking us from the plane at Schiphol airport.

Does anyone else see the walking times to the gates at Schiphol Airport as a challenge, or is it just me?

After using AI to assist me in software dev, I have a thought: It is very much like a mech suit. If you know what you and it are capable of, it can augment your skills. Throwing it on someone unskilled at random and expecting good results may not be a good idea.
