UK Tax returns have gone digital, which is fine in principle. What is not fine is that pretty much only paid solutions are acceptable for submitting a return.
If electronic tax returns are mandatory, the government should be providing a cost-free means […]

A neighborhood in Phoenix did some guerilla permaculture by cutting curbs and capturing rainwater instead of letting the water flow into a sewer. Now the streets are thiving with local plant life. Very solarpunk.

Fast 10km in 47:55min (4:47/km). Set off a bit too fast at 4:21 for first km. Perfect running weather. Powered by 1 banana, a slice of toast and a jelly bean (had 3 mid race for energy boost) #devsWhoRun

Back a bit faster now. One month on. 5km in 23:04min (4:36/km). Took 70seconds off last month's 5km (14sec/km). Set off a bit too fast at 4:30/km pace for the first 2km...and it was cold. Took 3km for feet to warm up :) #devsWhoRun

I'm (almost) back! 5km in 24:14min (4:49/km) road running. Perfect cool autumn evening. Last run on this route, May 2024 (28:29min). Who'd have thought 5 months in gym working on Core, Strength, Weights, Bike and Treadmill would actually help! #AsicsGelNimbus so light. #devsWhoRun

Another step closer to mains water free/off-grid gardening. Used water from homemade underground storage (~2,500l capacity) under back garden. First time watering front garden grass from storage (via hosepipe) and 12v pump. Wasn't sure if pressure would be good enough, but it was.

Off to AI and Deep Learning tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. Wednesday's evening will be at #lwsjan2025 down in Greenwich. After a promising start, slow end to last week (oh look, squirrel!). Got to focus 🤓 this week.

A little bit later than planned, but "First post"! First full working week of 2025, and I feel the need to get back into the swing of things web-related. Let's see if I have turned that corner and see how things pan out. Stay tuned... :)
