16+ hours into a 17+ hour print …… hit end fan failure. 😞
I’ve replaced the fan - let’s see if having the door open for 10mins will show.

So today I installed Omarchy on my Thinkpad. Maybe I’m mad. Previously I was running Ubuntu and I just found it ….. meh. I also have a Mac and I just found Ubuntu was never really as good as the Mac. So I thought - let’s try something really different. Fingers crossed…..

I’m currently listening to The Alan Parsons Project - Pyramid.
It’s been a long time since I heard this record and I feel blessed to have come across such a good copy in A Slice Of Vinyl (Gosport, UK).
Absolutely lovely record. My feet are dancing under the table and my neigbour is benefitting from my awesome vocals.

MacOS Tahoe. Why oh why did they have to remove Launchpad?
Their replacement the “Apps App” is absolutely terrible.
I can only hope someone vibe codes up a suitable Launchpad replacement.

“Why can’t we just…… send an HTML Email” - awesome idea and write up from Julik Tarkhanov.

So the Thinkpad T490 (32gb/1tb) arrived with Win 11 Pro installed.
I’ve installed Ubuntu 25 (dual boot) all setup with for Ruby dev in about half a day.
My only gripes would be the speakers sounding terrible and a trackpoint that just is not recognised. Otherwise the machine is really great.
Advise please. I’d like to trial developing (Ruby) on a Linux laptop.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap laptop and a distro?
I’m a newbie to Linux so nothing too complex that might scare me away. Many thanks.

Today I took a Hidden London tour of Holborn tube station. Super interesting and totally worth the 70-80 minutes, so much so I’m hoping to do the Dover Street hidden tour soon. Visit the London Transport museum website for more info.

I thought I might start an irregular post series called Shite AI.
#1. The loose fruit/veg scales in my local supermarket now have an AI camera attached in order to automatically determine which produce is being weighed. Weighing produce now takes 2 to 3 times longer. Thanks AI.

The Comorore Pet was my first exposure to computers and from the moment I saw one I was hooked - it took me some time to actually get time using one. Very fond memories.
Anyhow. Here’s a fascinating post by Ken Schirriff about repairing one. www.righto.com/2025/04/c…
So this is a new alert pop-up on my phone. I’ve never seen anything like this, I wonder if it’s a new iOS feature.
Is it okay to upgrade a home Wifi setup to Ubiquiti - even if there is nothing wrong - at all - with the current setup?
Just wondering.
Question. Could Harvard up and relocate?
I’ve been buying Decaf Coffee from Craft Decaf, their whole beans have really lovely, I can genuinely recommend them. Anyhow they’ve given me a link that can get you a discount and me a small reward. If you’re in the UK + thinking of buying decaf coffee beans… app.judge.me/ref/JM-ZV…
I’d like an online service that “robot speaks” my typed text. Something I can use when answering annoying calls.
AAARRRGGGHHHH. It’s NOT VFA. It’s FVA.

I cannot believe that I managed to get an app deployed using Kamal. Some logical, but not too onerous, steps - and surprisingly only 1 (one) issue to resolve. Awesome.

A reminder…. Ruby Brighton tickets return to “normal” pricing (which is still super cheap for what you experience) this coming Friday. Last years conference was bleeping brilliant, don’t miss out and save some money.

How to ruin my mood.
Enter….. surprise eBay zero feedback user bidding on a docking station I need.
It’s alive!
Now to figure which dongles I’m missing - and how expensive they’re going to be - in order to update the device with my laptop. Firewire to USB-C anyone?
