We're going again! Do pop along and say hi if you are around Reading next Thursday. #B2BExpos #ReadingExpo @B2BExpos libertus.co.uk/another-trade…

Anyone else had their Dishwasher perform an automatic "Urgent Important Update" this afternoon? #Crowdstrike in an embedded OS?

You've heard of #DogsAtPollingStations. I give you:

All the very best. I met (very briefly) our local candidate @KhalilYousuf outside our bakery the other morning. I told him he had my vote and good luck.

At least @RishiSunak's still got a fucking good sense of humour I suppose.

Saturday morning: listening to #TMS making Onion Bhajis.

Dear @Ofwat. You have allow the privatised water companies to accrue something like £60bn of debt, pay billions in dividends, dump shit & sewage into our waterways, and now you are trying to tell us you didn't fail to regulate the industry properly? #FFS. bbc.co.uk/news/business-6610…

Yesterday I was with @HantsPolice doing a @BikeSafeUK training day. I got loads from the day and would highly recommend it. Having only passed my test a year ago, I was really chuffed about my feedback. Thanks to all the Police and IAM guys who give up their time to do this.

Yay! Got a smart tunable lamp working over Matter/Wifi today. It's not much to look at yet but it's a start. @Home_Assistant controller (Open Source Software), #Matter (Open and vendor neutral IoT protocol), No cloud service required :-)

Today looks like it is going to be dry so finally got Gina out for a trip to work, stopping to collect provisions on the way to the office...
