Climax (2018) When a dance troupe is lured to an empty school, a bowl of drug-laced sangria causes their jubilant rehearsal to descend into a dark and explosive nightmare as they try to survive the nightβ€”and find w...

All Common Nouns are equal but some are more equal than others and get capitalised.

More stupid UX by Google. Like they care. Google Play Store. They've moved the Search button from the top WHERE EVERYONE ELSE HAS IT to the bottom, but then you have to go right back up to the top again to type anything in.

Poor UX design by Google. These two buttons used to be the other way round. Parents watch out.

The best and worst thing an employer can do is provide a developer with a laptop and a connection to the office.

I always try local first. But whilst complaining about lack of trade or support, local organisations don't help me give them trade/interest/support, is it any wonder people go to Amazon?

If power usage in Azure (or other cloud provider) is aggregated and more efficient, we should know how that helps our green credentials. Unless it doesn't ...

This year I saw Carl Cox on the start line for TT.

For this year's MGP, it was Noel Edmonds.

It's getting better.

Very pleased to hear Andre Agassi tell the BBC commentary team that he didn't care who was in the crowd, that he was there "to talk about the tennis.".

When will the BBC stop fawning on so-called "celebs" in the Wimbledon crowd and concentrate on the sport?

Found King of the Hill on Disney+.

Thought that was supposed to be satirical, not a documentary.

Tynwald Day today, whilst reading out the new legislation in Manx. Seems there's no word for "vaping". It's just "vapal".

Next Scouts challenge

I'm trying to come up with food that can be cooked outside, is devoid of allergens, suitable for all faiths, defeats fussy eating, suitable for pescatarians, vegetarians & vegans.

Thinking hot dogs for one option (easy to cook, flexible). Need another option.

Ideas welcome!

It sounds as if Apple have invented Windows Vista (glass UI) and Windows 8 (Spotlight). Let's see if that works out better.

(I quite liked the Charms bar in Windows 8 and how you interacted with the search function)
