Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! @caduceuscellars @mjkeenan x

And that’s a wrap for gigs in 25. Great to see @clutchofficial before heading off for the festive season!

@gawdzillionaire Can’t wait! 🙏

@fordero Olly! Thank you! Wait’ll you hear the new stuff—-

Ok, so diminishing returns by @gawdzillionaire has to be my favourite album of 2025. So cool and loved the progression from negative balance (also a great album). Paw maybe gone but Godzillionaire lives on. Thank you! 🙏

@JoeBaguley That’s impressive! Especially in 6 months!

3D printed bodywork on working “Model 1” - paper to driving car in 6 months - final car will be under 1000kg. Everything apart from battery cells made in the UK. First deliveries in 12 months. longbowmotors.com

@rqobela C++, Java, Visual Basic, Lotusscript, C#… the list goes on….

Programming language you learnd but never used again is...?

@shawnbass @trailofbits Good to see the vendors patching prior to public disclosure!

Time to update yours apps people. Props to @trailofbits on a creative code integrity check bypass.

@RonOglesby @shawnbass @BrianMadden Literally office space rebooted, any rounding errors chaps?

Deleting old crap on my phone.. I am unable to delete this @shawnbass and @brianmadden

Anthropic's CEO claims AI hallucinates less than humans. Bold statement. So I decided to test it by feeding the same FAKE theories to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to see which one calls me out first. The results shocked me 🧵

@JoeBaguley It’s like travelling back in time to a Dickens novel! My favourite when we moved last year was failing to exchange because the solicitor forgot to request the funds. Call me skeptical but the lack of digital experience does appear to keep conveyancers busy doesn’t it 🤔

Watching the archaic farce that is property conveyancing in the UK as my daughter buys her first home is embarrassing. Physical documents everywhere, wet signatures, solicitors posting letters to each other, refusing to talk on the phone. Absolute comedy shambles in 2025.

@bt_uk The form book would suggest otherwise. They raise an order, subsequently it gets cancelled. To compound matters the customer service team call me to give me an update and then place me on hold for 15 minutes while they speak to @WeAreOpenreach.

@fordero Thank you for explaining. In this case it would be best to speak with our Sales Team, so they can look into this further when placing an order. You can contact them by calling 0800 800 150. I'm positive they'll be able to help.

@bt_uk At present, the latest order has been cancelled again. No one @bt or @WeAreOpenreach can tell us what service we can get. Each time the order is placed it ends cancelled.

@fordero Hi Olly, I'm sorry to hear that your broadband hasn't been installed yet. Have you placed another order yet or is it just the ones that were cancelled?

Reflecting on my journey over the past year has been truly eye-opening. With over a month left in 2024, I am amazed at how the small changes add up to significant achievements.Taking the time to appreciate our personal journey is essential in recognising our growth and success.

@Spoinster I feel we need to set that up!

@fordero Would be funny if it had a convo with Alexa

Tried ChatGPT Advanced Voice at the weekend. Started a chat session on iOS and it immediately asked me about the cricket (playing on TV in the background), without me mentioning it at all. Context not just conversation. #ChatGPT #AI

Living in a world driven by software is truly amazing! Huge shout-out to all the hardworking developers, testers, designers, and everyone else involved in creating a seamless and enjoyable software experiences. Your dedication is truly appreciated! 🙌 #TechAppreciation

@JoeBaguley Haha I’m old enough to remember the “Jam car” on a TCR racing track.

Favourite comment on F1 I’ve heard recently. “Just like a safety car, F1 needs a danger car - someone to add a bit of spice in an age of faultless machines and amazing drivers. Stroll does that well”

@Spoinster That’s definitely a big blue tick!

Seems like I can display a big blue Tick on X for free today.. courtesy of my hosting beagle. #omgticksize

@JoeBaguley @MotoGP Hopefully this F1 season we’re starting to see change. The McLaren is definitely heading in the right direction. Must be something to do with the aero effect of that sponsorship sticker!

@JoeBaguley Agreed and the future of Redbull will be interesting but if you want 5 teams in the top 6, the top ten separated by 3-5 seconds and last corner overtakes @MotoGP provides this every week 👍

F1 is getting better every week this year. 5 teams in the top 6 on grid for tomorrow.
