Periodic reminder that I’m not here any more. I’m mostly on Insta and somewhat on Mastodon. Currently I’m mostly posting about my dog’s knee surgery.

@caveatemptor20 @iainoneil Not guilty.

@iainoneil @raettig ?

Hats off to the unnamed NHS technology leader who contacted me to say they’ve used #ChatGPT to pass NHS annual mandatory training modules. We all knew AI would save the NHS thousands of hours… DM with your guesses who the hacker is 😂

I would just like @bennetts_bike / @lv / 4th Dimension to do what they told me they'd do and return the personal items that I know they at least had and which were specifically not part of the settlement.

I'd really like to put the bike theft behind me. This has been a really upsetting period and I can't move beyond it until this is settled. I am already significantly out of pocket. And I am getting nowhere with getting my things back.

I took out insurance via @bennetts_bike which was underwritten by @lv. My motorcycle was stolen and I used the tracker to help the police recover it. There was some damage so I allowed the insurance to recover it which was handled by 4th Dimension Innovation LTD.

My tracker is now showing at a residential address in Kingston on Thames. Does whoever has it know I can track their every movement? This seems at best like a GDPR breach.

i believe, for the moment at least, i'm done on twitter. too many straws for this camels back. i am more routinely on the popular picture sharing site where you an expect pictures of vespas, dogs, and dogs on vespas. and i can be found on the obvious federated twitter replacement

Had an old friend and his sprog staying with me. They were playing a word game where you must remove one letter from a book title to change the meaning. I turned to my bookcases for inspiration and could only see The Count of Monte Cristo.

“Play dead”.

Yeah I am.

A difficult end to a difficult year. But we all have our coping mechanisms.

In my late teens I thought giving up smoking would be straightforward: Just stop shoving cigarettes in your face. This, it turns out, is actually the hard part.

Oh go on then.

Underneath the mistletoe. “Don’t kiss me. Don’t kiss me. Don’t kiss me”.
