   Not called into work this afternoon. Was it something I said? Cleaned the flat. Feels a little less #Steptoe and Son here now.

   Playing a brass instrument looks all very glamorous, but you never need to flush saliva out of a guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc8D46tJuFM

   @tregeagle Uncanny. It's like you were in the room. Of course I first softened the blow with "Do you think that's wise, sir?" #DadsArmy #JohnleMes

   Doing the washing and cooking dinner at 11pm because #work. Not happy. Yes I made half the average week's income today but, unless I calm down, the dummy spit tomorrow might cause some unpleasantness. Plus, Everything Hurtz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls3OYPcUL1w

   @tregeagle @rpcutts I've relatives in Newcastle, apparently. My father was born there because apparently my grandmother thought moving from #AU to an industrial town within spitting distance of the channel was a sensible thing to do during the war. Some shrewd decision-makers in my family, myself among them in my own small way.

   @andyc Yep, #GNUSocial 2.0 added #ActivityPub support. Have a couple of days off next week. Let's see what kind of damage I can do. https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/src/nightly/CHANGELOG.md

   Need some PC speakers, so rather than immediately binning it I browsed through the catalogue from our local hi-fi superstore (other ways to waste money are available). Apparently they no longer stock speakers that don't listen to you as you listen to them. Nor for that matter do they sell TVs that don't also watch you (or at least what you watch). #InSovietRussia

   @tregeagle Back to work next week? I have to go into town Tuesday or Wednesday, and chances are good that I'll feel like a #Kilkenny at the #Coffs Hotel afterwards.

   @andyc Re: #DrWho, Colin Baker always used to say the part could be played by anybody with an Equity card, which explains why his performance was so thoroughly misjudged. Jodie Whittaker's great; a bit too self-consciously quirky, but they all are at the start. New showrunner Chibnall was not quite as self-assured as I expected from a fan of my vintage and a generally well-re…

    @andyc I'll have to go back and look at the #ActivityPub options again. I feel like such a dinosaur. How many new languages, frameworks, and protocols do you really need for a distributed #Twitter clone? You'll have to pry my #LAMP stack from my cold, dead hands!

    I have terrible problems with white coat hypertension. Not because of anxiety in medical settings - after 15 years in #Coffs I just get so excited on those rare occasions when I get to talk to somebody who can read and write. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_coat_hypertension

    With the help of @tregeagle's sphygmomanometer (don't try to say it, much less spell it, while drunk) and my mad #LibreOffice skillz, I have finally persuaded my GP that I don't have high blood pressure. I'm getting off the demon drugs! [slurp] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphygmomanometer https://microblog.mjd.id.au/attachment/31467

    I don't believe in hiding one's light under a bushel. That's obviously the first place people would think to look for it.

    How did we get from curating information to curating people? 1990s: "This thing is related to that." 2000s: "People who liked that also liked this." 2010s: "You will like this. Don't ask us how we know."

    #OMGA, this is all kinds of sexy. Bear in mind that, this being #AU, these photos were all taken in the last year or two. All these machines are humming along thanks to #NBN broadband. https://boingboing.net/2019/10/16/men-in-shorts-operating-comput.html

    Fair dues: #Nixon could compartmentalise in order to get things done. #Trump can't set aside his vengeful rage for a second. https://boingboing.net/2019/10/17/hot-mic-camera-footage-of-nixo.html

    Not rostered on at #work for four days in a row. On the one hand, getting called in would be good for my bank balance, but on the other hand, the hand I slammed in between two trolleys yesterday, a long rest would be nice. Ow, that smarts.
