Just my day to day ramblings!
Husband just said “sometimes Google says a website’s robots have gone mad”.
Referring to “A description for this result is not available because of this site’s robots.txt”

Just ordered “Murder Most Horrid: The Complete Collection”. I have been waiting 18 years to watch that again, absolutely love it.
Why oh why isn’t there a universal standard for importing and exporting DNS records?!
The call isn’t out there at all, it’s inside me ❤️
Trying out micro.blog for the first time!
I think I’m going to delete all my social media / email apps when I travel to USA this year.

A new blog
Well I’ve finally consolidated the following into my new site:
- Very old posts from when I was 14 (in 1999!)
- Posts from my old site, webbunny.co.uk
- Posts from Tumblr
And I’m going to start microblogging here.
Most of my old posts are set as private – sorry about that!
Another fresh beginning 😉
I’m ready for my close-up.
Beautiful painting of Jean-Luc, thank you Chris!
The meaning of ‘knowing’
The meaning of ‘knowing’ has shifted from being able to remember and repeat information to being able to find and use it.

Tim Cook on workplace rights
So long as the law remains silent on the workplace rights of gay and lesbian Americans, we as a nation are effectively consenting to discrimination against them.

Olympics
As sceptical as I am about the Olympics, I thought the opening ceremony was absolutely brilliant.
The iPhone is not and never was a phone. It is a pocket-sized computer that obviates the phone. The iPhone is to cell phones what the Mac was to typewriters.
John Gruber, looking back on five years of the iPhone.
Starting with the opening gag with Siri doing stand-up comedy and continuing through to Apple’s new maps and Siri’s new features, there was an unmistakeable “Fuck you, Google” undertone to the whole keynote. Apple is forcing Google out of iOS.

I love to research stuff. Any time I have a conversation with someone and I’m not 100% on the details, I’ll go look it up on the Internet. So now my obsession with research is driving me crazy 🙂
I’m really enjoying this TV show on Netflix that is a few years old (that’s if it’s not still running). Incredibly obscure, it’s not British or American. But I’m enjoying it so much that I want to research it and find out more about it, except that might mean spoilers. So I vow to watch all 100-odd episodes before I look it up.
And that’s killing me! 🙂
