Have to feel a bit for the graphics team at @SkySportsF1. Having to re-edit the opening titles AGAIN. (Wonderjng if they shot footage of Yuki in a RBR suit just in case? If not you just use generative AI to do it I guess)

Collection of insane and fun facts about SQLite. Let's go! SQLite is the most deployed and most used database. There are over one trillion (1000000000000 or a million million) SQLite databases in active use. It is maintained by three people. They don't allow outside contributions.

We demand @ECB_cricket pressure @ICC to ban the national Afghanistan men’s cricket team from international competition - as an objection to the current regime’s treatment of women in Afghanistan. Men shouldn’t play sport - when women can’t speak to each other. #NotAskingTooMuch

@feebee_69 There's a massive storm coming in on Saturday night. Lots of low clouds warming the air up, duvet style.

How is Saturday going from 1 degree in the morning to 12 degrees in the middle of the night? In November.

2 - Move to a “season pass” model where app users pay a one-off price for access to the app for that season. Potential problem is not enough users would pay for a season pass and it would mean the API costs need paying regardless?

So, a couple of options: 1 - Find a sponsor to cover the costs involved, and make the app available for free. Potential downside here is that a new sponsor would need to found each year?

With proceeds from the sale of the app and some advert revenue from the website this was just about covered. This year X have doubled the price for API access to $200 per month, which makes it more tricky as it will now cost up-to £1000 to run #uksnow Map over the winter.

Omg, I can’t tell you how relaxing and comforting it was doing the weather with a Pudsey cuddle. Fabulous! Hope you also all had a wonderful Children in Need Day. Love you Pudsey! #CiN

And considering Behringer their 'emulation' in the X32, what, 9 years ago? And there's the Relab QuantX plugin too (which is nice). I'm slightly lost as to why this, why now? I've repaired 2 Yardsticks as it happens, and the code is sitting right there next to the 563xx

Wait, Logic 11 includes the actual QRS algorithms from Wolfgang??? Yeah yeah, but I bet it's missing the hardware weirdness (he says as he does actually own more than one model of QRS and hopes they stay useful) macrumors.com/2024/11/13/app…

For no particular reason, I’ve been thinking a lot today about that old Circassian proverb that goes öküz saraya çıkınca kral olmaz; ama saray ahır olur, or “a bullock does not turn into a king when he moves into the palace; the palace turns into a barn”

Without Marco Pirroni, Adam & The Ants would not have been the same band. The man is a genius. Here he is with his 1956 Gretsch sparkly Silver Jet guitar. It is now in my studio & sounds Fabulous.

It took a concerning amount of time for it to come to me who this mosaic was, considering I have the picture on my bedroom wall. #Senile #AmericanGothic
