House of the Dragon reminded me of everything I hated about Game of Thrones. And it sure wasn't the last season.

I feel bad for Denise. I wonder what Alfre is doing these days.

Fuck...I'm finally having a parasocial relationship :-(

I'm hoping in iOS 16 that Siri stops responding to chicken sizzling in the pan.

This google ad is a real tragic tale of a young woman with very early onset dementia. Her exhausted grandma greets her each day, her patient mum explaining day after day who taught her to kick. But it is heartwarming when grandma, at the game, realises the girl knows who she is.

I think it was a heroic effort by Samantha Maiden and her editors not to note "It is unclear if he was referring to himself or the non-Scott Morrison ministers."

Ok. So.

A thing that amuses me to no end is I'm not really that interested in blogging, or even tweeting/tooting/whatever-ing. And yet I spend a lot of time building out an Indieweb/micropub system for myself.

Every time I try and write code these days, it's like an all expenses paid trip to the Himalayas. All I see is yaks.

This is a surprisingly useful list of how much more money we have to take from these people https://twitter.com/newscomauHQ/status/1552841338906767361

I unlocked an achievement today. All those times I said "Don't use a 32 bit id column, you may run out one day" I never thought it would happen to me. But today we discovered a third party application that had exhausted the 32 bit integer space for its most important table.
