I like to talk about lots of things. (Re)Tweets are not advice, condemnations, endorsements, or must else really. Photos at @topografical.

Fancey a timeline cleanse? Tired of boring automated added tweets of adverts over and over? I've split out my #photography hobby and have a dedicated handle.

📸Follow the below to see pictures from my travels as I [eventually] process them.

@AsianDawn4 @morganwarstler Not Hong Kong. It could be https://t.co/NRT4Pd6LU1 in Taiwan instead. 🇹🇼

It is with great sadness that we share that David M. Webb MBE passed away peacefully in Hong Kong on Tuesday January 13th, 2026 from metastatic prostate cancer. David will be missed by family, many friends, and supporters. The family request privacy at this difficult time.

@tripperhead I hope the reliability is better than the Circle line! (likely it will be)

Police called to QR plane at #HKIA upon arrival due to (alleged) theft mid-flight. Captain asked all passengers to check luggage. We were held at the gate for 20 minutes then some of us let go.

Seems this is getting more common 😕...

@pikafrenzy20 Have a furry wombat I met yesterday! Take care!

But do we know what it _actually_ will do now?

[Windows Latest @WindowsLatest]

Microsoft confirms "Update and Shut Down" was actually restarting Windows 11.

If you have ever noticed Windows 11’s Update and Shut Down not actually shutting down your PC and restarting instead, you’re not alone.

Many of us probably developed a little trust issue with that button because the PC kept bouncing back to the sign-in screen.

Turns out it was a known issue with Windows 11 and even Windows 10. It's finally fixed.

This fix will begin rolling out to everyone with this month's Patch Tuesday, scheduled for November 11.

Requires Build 26200.7019 / 26100.7019 or newer.

Just look at these temperature predictions! 👀
We're so much higher than normal here in #HongKong, I wonder if it will ever cool down enough to go out trail running... or maybe just to go out...

[simonjpx @simonjpx]

@tripperhead Maybe they read your tweet!

Now that's a good Friday spot, if I say so myself. @HKnumberplates @starwars #yoda

[simonjpx @simonjpx]

Poor T9 always seems to get the short straw. Only up for an hour (just a dusting off, I guess...)

Hurricane Signal, No. 10, was issued at 2:40am.

@FY4Chan This T8 could have been much later in the afternoon!

@kjoules "Earthquake Information" 😀

@FY4Chan Nothing beats A1 Bakery, who have 20 in some stores!

Outside M&S in Central and I can count and see at least 5 CCTV lamppost installs without changing my spot... feels a bit over the top?

[simonjpx @simonjpx]

Four times, and this one's a biggie.

[simonjpx @simonjpx]

Well, that's 3 black rain in around a week? Ooph. Soggy.

Bad news for those on #QR817 this evening...

[simonjpx @simonjpx]

@graninas I used to do Haskell at a job; was fun but integration was difficult even back then. Learned good skills.
A decade+ later and it's all python. I wish for somewhere in the middle, but py is easy to learn and throwing out stuff that "works" is easy.

Long term though... plz help.
