What?!

I've just realised the perfect solution to (a) getting some peace and quiet, and (b) having a nice dark room so I can sleep better. Buy a cinema! Outside of the box thinking right there!

Gotta love #AI. Didn't take too long to cobble together an app for my phone to show the upcoming #ISS passes!

Why do something useful when you can make stupid AI pictures instead? #Sora

Phone calls I've had from the dirtbag (formerly known as teenage dirtbag) this week, in order of stupidity: 2. Dad, is Halfords open? - look it up!!! 1. Dad, the smoke alarm is going off. - maybe open your bedroom door and check for a fire? Can't make it up.

Some people just get money handed to them on a plate, and yet I can't even win the Euromillions. That's hardly fair is it?!

Sob. My #Atari 1050 disk drive isn't reading any data. Cleaned the head. Heatsink was super hot, so replaced all the little capacitors. Voltage regulators next?

Wait! I've only had one coffee today. I think I'd better Google my symptoms right away!

Coffee can travel a long way can't it? Anyway, I can confirm that my heated mouse mat is waterproof...

If you put 2 batteries the wrong way up in your Virgin Media remote, most of the buttons still work. Then you can spend the next hour-and-a-half trying to work out why the volume buttons don't work, and reprogramming your TV remote, soundbar and literally everything else until you realise...

This week I've had the pleasure of 2 completely different training courses; Power BI Admin in a Day, and arcGIS Arcade. Never a dull moment! I do wonder what's being pushed out of my brain when new info gets pulled in though...

I was watching #Babylon5 A Call To Arms last night and spotted this. I was convinced it was a little #H2G2 easter egg, but it's not quite the same unfortunately!

11 days off and how the hell am I supposed to get up at 7am tomorrow?!

If I decide to identify as a Wiggle, can I have my Easter Eggs now? It's Sunday in Australia.

I thought the whole Warner Bros DVDs are going rotten thing was a load of rubbish. But that's 2 DVDs in a row I can't watch now. That can't be a coincidence?

I actually saw this coming from the other direction. Genuinely thought some guy was resting his head on the hedge! #NormalForNorfolk

To be fair, I've wanted to kiss the pavement once I've fought my way out of Primark.

Finally, finally, slowly catching up with season 4 of #DoomPatrol It strikes me that Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mister 104) would make an excellent Doctor Who.

What do you do when your #Babylon5 dvd doesn't play? Track down a limited edition VHS copy of course! Going proper old school tonight. Although I may still watch it on a big screen rather than a 14" CRT! Oh wait. How about on the projector? Ooooooh...!

So tonight on Bigfoot hunters have lost the plot, apparently Bigfoots can turn into bears. Who knew?! I kind of want to go Bigfoot hunting myself, not because they exist, but it would be fun exploring, and you get to hang out with raving lunatics. Maybe it's infectious...
