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?

Kagi search update.
Day 2, living with the Pro Plan.
I’m loving how it just seems to work. No ads. Just results. Search is good again.
Has anyone tried the Kagi search engine? I recently signed up for the - bit too short - trial and found the search results to be very good, fast and very clearly presented. I’ve used my free search quota so I’m at that point where I either forget about it or pay. Any thoughts? Suggestions? #kagi
I’ve gone and bought a Raspberry Pi 500 for my workshop. I am fed up walking my laptop too and fro the house in the rain.
Asking Pi owners…. Do you have any recommendations for best desktop environment?
It’s mainly for Internet Browser use, likely Firefox but again recommendations appreciated.
I’m sorry but I had to share.
Please forgive me.
Does anyone have any good recomendations for CAD/Modelling software for Raspberry Pi?

Ignore the “click bait-y” headline. I thought the article was pretty on point.
“The one way I know a team is in trouble”
Top tip. When cleaning you Apple AirPod Max ear covers…… be gentle.
I continue to be amazed by China. It doesn’t seem to matter which area/topic, China seems to be living their own Moores Law.
“Luckin Coffee, a Chinese brand that started seven years ago, now generates more revenue in the country than Starbucks. It has nearly three times as many stores, and opens a new one, on average, every hour.”
