Jojo went swimming in a pool today & is now absolutely knackered
(she’s wary of getting in but then swims really well, glides along unlike the hound’s slightly panicky paddling!)

Doing some spooky design work

OK, not sure it’s super-interesting (really hyping my project here!) but worked out a suitable UI so might as well go for it & do the trudge

Genuinely would set up a site to sell these if I knew someone willing & able to make weird miniature stick-on faces

You probably learn more about a politician from what they do afterwards than during their time in politics https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/oct/09/palantir-tom-watson-mob-rule-government-contracts

In related news, pot-plant watering can wasn’t flowing well at all so I checked for a blockage. #frogtober

If you already make weird little things and ship them then feel free to get in touch...

Could do it as a stick-on rubbery face with fluffy beard material, a complete sensory nightmare to use

This might be intense (or, intensely boring), but I wrote down everything I know about differences between Mac and PC keyboards today. It might be useful for people who design cross-platform apps, especially web apps!

Product idea: caps lock key with Brian Blessed’s face on it

115 rows x 24 columns DONE; had to delete some rows with missing/messy data & fix a load more that I was keen to keep
Tomorrow I’ll build a rough prototype, if it’s interesting I’ll then trudge through gathering 115 images

Current status: plodding through a spreadsheet tidying thousands of cells of data
(dug out an abandoned halloween project from 2019, not sure if I’ll finish it though, needs hundreds of images to do it well)

This is a review for a Rubik's cube.

"The people holding up the internet"

A good-looking but somewhat depressing exposé about the people holding up current digital infrastructure as a hobby.

This daft little game has just reached 2 million views!
Includes a slight change of music after the first level...

That thing of people holding a little clip-on mic out in front instead of clipping it on is spreading to TV shows, seen it twice recently

Having to think carefully about what to do next year because in the last few months any work related to webgames has been thoroughly devalued by a torrent of AI content that makes it harder to get both money & attention
