"wearable holographic nano-layer catalyser", "process of quantum oscillation" and other seemingly science sounding phrases for what is essentially a con. Slightly disturbing that a councillor was a proponent of it.

One of the problems with #cumgate is so much sh*t being flung around in the pile on that allows people to confirm their personal biases. We'll end up with 60% of material being dismissed as fake news without forensic analysis of the remaining 40% of substantial facts.

There’s another conspiracy theory going around that Alice Cummings, the director of IDOX – the company awarded the track & trace contract – is the sister of Dom Cummings

She isn’t – let’s look at the facts using only public domain data

Should I take the plunge and convert my #wordpress blog into a static site as I migrate to the new web server?

I write words as well as code these days....

Hot of the presses. #gnome settles with patent troll. Patent troll agrees to release entire patent portfolio and covenant not to sue to any #osi licensed project. Gnome's lawyers deserve a bonus for that settlement, well played 😀 https://www.gnome.org/news/2020/05/patent-case-against-gnome-resolved/

Apparently there is going to be a Snyder cut of Justice League. I know films can be saved in the edit (c.f. Star Wars) but is there a film to be saved there?

Now if only you could convince the #emacs team!

I don't know how it happened but we have a sourdough starter bubbling away now. I wonder how many new bread based lifeforms have been created during this #lockdown?

The dentist just called to re-book the family check-up in June for September. Neither of us was that optimistic it would go ahead 😬

My eldest is just approaching long multiplication although they don't realize it yet. Trying to explain there is no fundamental difference between 4x3 and 4x30 is very frustrating. #notateacher

Shame it took a viral pandemic to bring #screenwipe out of retirement but it was great to see last night.

I can see the reporting on the detailed #covid19 guidelines has started but I can't find the document on the #govuk website yet.

So I guess this is an innovative use of technology but where will it lead, #ed209?

What new #coronafeatures do we need on our phones? I need "eyes only" facial recognition in the supermarket so I can tick off my shopping list while wearing a mask.
