Some of the family is watching Silo and as I wandered in Peter Gabriel appeared on screen. I'm now drawn in, hoping that Thotch will appear next.

Fingers crossed that Finnish guy knows that the person who first broke the cuneiform code in 1872 while studying the tablets at the British museum was a currency engraver named George Smith.
He was an obsessed amateur; the Smithsonian wrote about him.

I saw @robauton.bsky.social in a preview of his new show Jupiter today. Proper funny and a thing of real beauty, it's a love story to wonder and seeing things as others see them.

Opatija had been gearing up for the big match all day - I'm being very proactively Scottish, though the barman was questioning my choice of white wine.

About 20 years ago I wrote a quick clock widget for our new BrightSign digital signage players. Mostly I worked on video and audio software, but having a clock was better than not having a clock. Most users moved on to HTML clocks, but everyone working on Match of the Day still watches it weekly!

I've just spent a great couple of days at the OSM State of the Map Europe conference in sunny Dundee #sotmeu2025.
It was my first SOTM and was so very, very good. Brilliantly well run with lots of fun extras which all amplified the feeling of community. So much generosity on display.
