(little) ANNOUNCEMENT: Alongside games at inkle, I’ve been tinkering with a time planning app for iOS. Today, I’m giving it a cosy corner on the internet:

✨ Selkie Design ✨

The app’s not (yet) named, but now there’s a site for updates!

Stay tuned: 👉 https://t.co/mZhjxqJzjc

@noIPv6 have you seen this?

I am so confused at why you would write an article about #IPv6 but be so out of touch with reality.

And the icing on the cake: Microsoft owns a trademark for X. So Musk has destroyed a loved and strong brand, for potential years of litigation, and potentially no brand. https://t.co/OztqYGeIMK

@cybergibbons I was told today by a manager in the @TheAA_UK vehicle inspection team that they are unable/unwilling to run EV battery diagnostics because of risk of giving the vehicle a virus. Is this really a thing??

@jeff_manford It says video is unavailable.

I was lucky enough to visit the Nation Grid control room yesterday. A truly amazing team of really lovely folks doing a critically important job behind the scenes.
I was there in 2012, coal produced 44% of our electricity that day.
Yesterday, 0%.
We plan to shoot an update soon

@MATatBucks What is the solution to preventing the dumping of sewage?

[Nicholas Humfrey @njh]

@adamcrussell How about this?

@greiginoz I think 400mm centres. It pretty much dictated the speaker positioning.

[Nicholas Humfrey @njh]

I bought a speaker on eBay for our bathroom ceiling. It is going to take over half the ceiling.

Note to self: check sizes before impulsive bidding.

[Nicholas Humfrey @njh]

Now bi-wired. Decided I didn’t need terminal blocks and soldered it straight to the speaker terminals.

Goodbye warranty.

[Nicholas Humfrey @njh]

New speaker has separate woofer and tweeter but no crossover. I am going to bi-wire it into IKEA Symfonisk circuit board

@peter_boring @MATatBucks I have never understood the purpose of postal counties - presumably they were to disambiguate places with the same or similar names.

But isn’t that what post codes are for?

@JamieLaundon @cybergibbons @HummusWatch Yes! Thanks Jamie! Not sure why I was struggling to find it.
