All notes

Notes are for small posts, links, anything I don't feel merits a full post.

A wee day in Belfast with some very old pals.

My pals JW and Zach. Caravaggio paintings at the Ulster Museum! Big clam, very large.

Become increasingly clear to me that bells-and-whistles graphics do not matter - that much is obvious to everyone - but also, as a Computer Toucher, that the really exciting thing is talented teams pushing underpowered hardware to the absolute limit.

Managed to go the whole way to and through one of the UK’s largest airports yesterday and not a single StreetPass hit. What have we become as a society?

Having a great time getting back into Elden Ring.

Having a weird thing in Windows 11 where it won’t play audio from both communications device and audio device simultaneously - I have a headset with a chat mixer and this approach worked perfectly in Win 10. Anyone seen this happen?!

Quite glad I’m not on Twitter these days so I don’t have to see the folks who refused to vote for Corbyn inform me it’s my moral duty to vote for Labour in the next election.

Wrapped up Final Shape and, goddamn, they really stuck the landing.
