I'm not going to win any prizes for engineering but our makeshift polystyrene window shutters are reflecting the full heat of the sun pretty effectively so far. 🥵

Currently second place in the SHINE virtual balloon race fundraiser for teenagers with Spina Bifida/Hydrocephalus. A week to go, so the chances of staying near the top spot are slim. Offer your support here:

Virtue signalling alert! We have moved our account to @CooperativeBank, which is committed to working with ethical companies. And for that reason, I'm more comfortable talking about it on Bluesky.

@StuartMaconie First time I've been here in weeks, but I doubt it. Why would it be?

@netdorm https://t.co/briRkpy4lC and our MX backup/mail relay service is offline today. Can you post an update on network status?

Google has announced that it's closing down its https://t.co/Sd5TpN2eRG link shortening service next year, but I just clicked "share" on Google Maps and it still gives you a https://t.co/Sd5TpN2eRG link. Surely they should stop generating those links *before* phasing them out?

Reading can be rightly proud of its contribution to better global awareness of climate change thanks to Professor Ed Hawkins MBE.
See him talking about the "climate stripes" at the Concert Hall tonight or via Zoom (booking required)

Our new website for Signature Stoves presented an unusual challenge: a fully ecommerce-enabled website where you're not permitted to purchase anything until your account has been approved. https://t.co/ZlX3ALMsXS

Google has quietly withdrawn the Google Cache feature from its search results. But for the moment you can still find cached versions of pages by visiting "https://t.co/iTjq6RIWyR:" plus a website URL.

All the calendars are broken because mine are telling me that a month ago it was Christmas Eve and that seems highly implausible.
I asked Bing AI to make me a picture of a calendar gone haywire in the style of comic book artist Robert Crumb. The results are... dark.

First week back and we've completed a smart new owner's manual for the Ecosy+ range of Bioethanol stoves. Check out Artie's brilliant original artwork for the warning icon set.

Small businesses are able to make quick changes in response to a customer's needs, improvements a larger company might take months to achieve, if at all, in spite of (or even because of) their much greater resources. I like to spend my money with small businesses when I can.

Language is so important! Case in point: a client of mine with a B2B audience had a new enquiry this week from a potential customer.

The enquiry said: "What is the cost implication?"

Or, to translate that into English: "How much is it?"
