Not in Edinburgh so much these days, I'm a little out of touch, but it seems like these new pink bikes (for hire) are everywhere. Trouble is I've not seen anybody actually riding one of them so far. Perhaps there's a few mad hours later...
I’d heard rumors that the FFXIV Mobile version would be canceled about a week or two before the official website posted an announcement. Because I’m honestly not sure how long the site will remain up, I’ve screenshotted the info and...
📔 I'm doing Blaugust this year. This is 5/hopefully 31 posts in August, and a post I started writing on the 19th of July. A page I've added to my blog this year but not linked anywhere (my 'page' page needs a spring cleaning) is little...

No One’s Happy (via Matt Birchler): Most native apps collect far more data than their website equivalents ever could. They request permissions to hardware, sensors, and background processes that browsers deliberately restrict. The...
ICM2026 in Philadelphia was, for me, a celebration of mathematics and people. I met many friends and colleagues, as well as several mathematical ideas and results. The nature of these meetings is that they are abrupt and random. (Some...
The Beatles - Rubber Soul SessionsWill the powers that be ever stop finding new ways to sell old Beatles albums to us? Probably not. To wit: there’s a Rubber Soul “special edition” coming out in early October, boasting one of those...
I was recently coerced and bamboozled into reactivating my Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) account. The last (?) time I had played I made a new character and started on a new server and quickly learned that, while FFXIV does a pretty great job...
i would like for less stuff to stay in my screenshots folder, and more stuff to be in spaces that i actually like visiting over and over again
