That should be the end of the server jollies for now! Thanks for your patience!

Interestingly it all seemed to continue to work for mobile clients and the like. It was just the web front end which broke. Right. We're going to disappear for a couple mins while I do that reboot I talked about.

Sorry. Broke the web front-end for a while because I did something stupid with node! Hate to say it but big thanks to ChatGPT for helping me to debug and recover from the problem 😱

Going on a bit of a road trip today. Not only so I don't have to put up with all the greeny scummers walking past my house but it's definitely a bonus.

Bought an Anbernic handheld retro gaming device at the weekend. It's great! I'm actually playing Pokémon for the first time ever! #Pokemon #Anbernic #retrogaming

My mcr.town domain expires soon. I've tried a few things with it: a Matrix server, a Lemmy server, even ran an email servier for my wife and I but it never stuck. I'll probably let it expire but if anyone has any ideas I'd be open to hearing them. Personally I really like the idea of a Matrix […]

Since the sourcing of this fantastic 1979 IBM training slide is buried in various Twitter threads (and linking to Twitter sucks now because logged out users can't navigate conversations) I put together some notes on its origin […] [Original post on fedi.simonwillison.net]

This is by no means a new insight(!) but I've noticed how I get a stuff to read for my job which has clearly been produced by AI and not even checked to see if it makes sense. I don't get why I should be bothered to read something if they couldn't even be bothered to write it!? Maybe I should […]

There's a whole segment on the news this morning telling us how to get snow off your car. There really are some things I think people can work out for themselves.

There's been a few issues with some media on mcr.wtf for a while and I've not got round to fixing it because work has been a bit crazy to say the least! Apologies for that! Anyway, it's fixed now. Here's a photo of me in reindeer antlers with a look of resignation on my face as proof.

Just ordered #plushtodon. Might be something to replace the #blahaj that's usually sat behind my desk chair!
