The VE Day flypast came close to where we live today. We went and found a nice spot nearby (along with about 150 other people) where the aircraft went diretly overhead!

Today I finally retired my trusty desktop PC, an aging Dell Studio XPS. It had a failing power supply, the on/off switch stopped answering to anyone long ago (replaced by 'the big red button') and the fans would go mad at the slighest provocation. But after 16 years, I don't think it owes me much!

This is sad news. I was fortunate enough to see Jill perform, at MIT of all places. She was funny, quirky and principled. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/m...

The switch on the kettle is refusing to reliably latch on. Funny how quickly a simple technical fault becomes a major issue once it's on the critical path to coffee.

I think I might create a starter pack of starter packs. Or would that break the servers?

I never posted in the old place - I was always in listening mode. But the interesting voices went away and the noise levels went up. This feels like I've transported back to a better time.
