Metaphysical musings, neverending headwinds, and a gorgeous day out for an age-double birthday ride / #FondoOfTheMonthClub N°100 in a row. Grateful that Goldberg was game to come along for the occasion. Just ride. #cycling #roadcycling #strava #fondo 183km/1161m/7:13
Had a lot of fun creating these. Working on the titles right now. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
Inclusive user research: vulnerable people, from the @TetraLogical blog

14-year-old today: “The option of me becoming a classic coder, one who writes everything by hand, probably doesn't exist anymore, does it? Too bad, it was actually fun.”

My usual 1hr easy ride loop that I do before work is neither an hour nor easy when the team is -2°C. It’s April FFS. #cycling
As a T1 Diabetic who's unable to use an insulin pump (because there are no #accessible ones available), the possibility of a gene therapy injection once every few years instead of an insulin injection once every couple of hours, is mighty interesting.

Your AI-generated videos of the Moon sure look impressive. But nothing compares to the real Artemis II footage – they’re almost there 😯:
It's been quite the weekend... the oven stopped working, the new exercise bike turned up, there are now Basil and Thyme seeds in the hydroponics thingy in the kitchen, PerlBod excavated several layers of his tShirt drawer, Sunday lunch with family (including the aforementioned Yorkshire apple pie with Wensleydale cheese), and a good chunk of my next conference talk (for All Day Hey!) is in much better shape than it was a few days ago! Oh, and the sun's out 😎
Today I was introduced to the traditional Yorkshire apple pie made with Wensleydale cheese. Oh. My. Goodness. I need to lie down and not eat again until Thursday 😊 😋
That moment when the idea for a talk just clicks into place and you know you're going to have fun with it ❇️

“LLMs can autonomously, and without fancy scaffolding, find and exploit 0-day vulnerabilities in critical software. This is not something that was true even, let’s say, three or four months ago.”
Just released a small but useful update for my little Internet Archive Plugin for Craft CMS. 🏛️
You can now opt individual entries out of automatic archiving via a lightswitch field – and manually send any entry to the Wayback Machine straight from the Craft CP entries index. ✨
New UNSW Sydney research finds vaping likely causes lung and oral cancer: Carcinogens in e-cigarette aerosols show DNA damage, tumours in mice & cellular harm. Please – tell your children, friends, and loved ones who might believe the “vaping is safe" lie of the tobacco industry. 💚

It seems that GAIN (formerly Nomensa) and TPGi have decided to remove all the posts I wrote on their respective blogs, going back to 2002.
The Internet Archive Way Back Machine is not the most accessible thing to use, so if anyone has any bright ideas about how I could retreve the contents so I can republish, I'd be glad to hear them.
Only like 6-7 minutes left! 🚀
