It looks like being a cracking August on diamond geezer! Come back next month to discover where two confectionery dynasties coincide, which boundary is only 75m long, why Svalbard is the place to be, which pad got splattered, whether Kitkats survive heatwaves, when my freezer was defrosted, which metro station has...
I am not going to say that the New York Times is copying my blog posts with “The New York of the Past Is Still Visible Today. You Just Have to Look.” People have been mining New York’s past for fiction, weird history, straight history
stories for a very long time. There’s a good argument to be made that the...

I've used this title before - back in...
This article explores a software licensing system used in a proprietary enterprise software package from circa 1994, which is no longer supported by the original developers. The licensing system operated on the basis of short alphanumeric licence keys issued to licensees (e.g. ABCD 012345 67890). The software is...
Who’d a thunk this would happen? Hint, anyone who knows even the slightest thing about tech in today’s world. Anthropic has disclosed that Claude, its prized AI stallion, has escaped all of the guardrails and hacked into three other companies. This comes a week or so after OpenAI disclosed that its workhorse wasn’t...
