Last Notes npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Why was it even invented? We all know when we woz robbed. It's obviously hilarious when the best team loses. But it's obvious. Doesn't need a stat. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith I see someone on my timeline talking about Arsenal's xG. People actually look at this? Really? #FediFC npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith You've just tooted out loud the secret sauce of Fediverse success. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith I know Arsenal are likely to win the actual league. But in terms of entertainment, City and Liverpool are running away with it at the moment. #FediFC npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Cats may be idiots. But they appear to remember who took them to the vets to be jabbed. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith A visit to the #allotment. Raspberries still going. Think with these tiddlers the #courgette season is over. Beans as well. This is the rest of the pears. As for the broccoli...had given up. But it came good at the last minute. And fennel! @npub1yra…ayat #GrowYourOwn npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Great to see Marcus Rashford thrive at a big club. #FediFC npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith I have created a #FediGroup for discussion of all things #jazz. (Apart from mags. And apples.) npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith #Allotment people. Thanks to @npub12yj…6g55 we have a group, @npub1yra…ayat npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith A generational difference I noticed with my colleagues while in Edinburgh. Why don't we walk the mile back from the centre to the accommodation? Nah, that's what uber is for. But they all have (and use) gym memberships. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith She writes really convincingly about ageing. The book really hit its stride in the final third. Glad i stuck with it. @npub1ny7…uv57 npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith This Strange Eventful History by Claire Messud. It occurs to me that what you'll take from a book that covers 70 years of family life might depend on where you are in your own. The decay. The decline. What sort of death will I have? @npub1ny7…uv57 npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith My entire broccoli harvest. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Just read Gabriel's Moon by William Boyd. Load of old cobblers. Easy reading cobblers. But cobblers. #LiteraryCriticism #KeefsReads npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith My long thread of books I've read got broken. Possibly through inactivity. Anyway, I read Trust by Herman Diaz. Or possibly reread. All a little familiar. Fours books within a book. What's it about? Not sure. Made me think about unreliable narrators and who ownership of the truth. @npub1ny7…uv57 #bookstodon #KeefsReads npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith So the #dishwasher is knackered. First the on-off button became sticky. Prized it off. Found we could jusy turn it on and off with a wooden skewer. Now there is just a hole and the skewer would just fall through. Is this repairable? #AskFedi #AskMastodon npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Right. And her surname is McPhotos. So it was meant to be I guess. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith It will all come in handy one day. And today, for you, is that day. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Ah. That's what it is! Thanks. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Spurs still trying really hard to get relegated despite the maths being stacked against them. #FediFC npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith My mum is too infirm for heavy gardening. But when I visit, I wonder if the plants just grow out of respect for decades of nurturing. #gardening npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Does that look like a bodge to you? #allotment npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith This Strange Eventful History by Claire Messud is 99p in the Kobo store at the moment. @npub1ny7…uv57 npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith I saw some green woodpeckers at Scout camp once. Just sat in a field. No wood pecked. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Last boost. Why can't we in the UK have woodpeckers like that? Ours are a bit crap. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Should my spuds be in? Loads of people at the #allotment have planted their's. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Me vs #allotment. Score draw. All to play for in the coming weeks. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Do any #allotment people grew mint for tea? And is any variety better for this? npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith As a Scout Leader in the UK I've noticed a few stories suggesting US Scouting was in the culture wars firing line. Sorry to read this. Hopefully, he'll relent given his kids enjoy it. It's for everyone. And that's not changing. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith I can't screenshot it. But the FT reports today that Virgin Money's #AI chatbot has scolded someone for using the word virgin. Excellent work. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Huge match in the battle for the one Europa League spot about to kick off at the Etihad. #MCICHE #FediFC npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith You are 12 points ahead of them with a game in hand! Let the rest of us enjoy the moment as they are knocked out. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Around 150 weeks ago, I tried and failed to read Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. It feels like a good moment to ask myself what I'm trying to achieve here. So once more... @npub1ny7…uv57 npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith My start of year habit is to reread Having and Being Had by Eula Biss. Thoughts on work, service, toil and art, and the connections between them. And I wonder if your art becomes your work, is it just a job? @npub1ny7…uv57 npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith If we don't get the last volume of The Sister Bells Trilogy soon I might have to learn Norwegian. Lost in translation? @npub1ny7…uv57 npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Ah. Your memory better than mine! I think the word Trust triggered my misplaced recollection. I thought both books were excellent. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Is this the one where the father and son go diving? If so, oof. That writing stopped me in my tracks. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Thinking about cheese. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith The Fediverse feels small but stable to me. I wonder if Bluesky is vulnerable given where power resides in the US right now. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith There's a shortage of #Guiness apparently. And Tim Martin is suggesting the brewer pulls their finger out. But it can't be that easy right? How long does it take to produce a pint of #beer? #AskFedi npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Any news on which Linux distribution he used? #LuigiMangione npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith What are we hoping to achieve by posting a screenshot of dumb tweets by Marc Andreessen and others here. To change people's opinion of them? Or to make ourselves feel better by sharing our anger with people that haven't signed up for that? npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Apologies. Ignorant Brit here. NP = No Party?? npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith This time tomorrow the election will be over and we'll only have the civil war to look forward to. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Happy Anniversary! npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith They really must want him in the game right? npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Heir to Lord Baldemorte? #NeedsWork npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Turns out the #allotment is not cursed after all. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith The fact he left is a positive right? But I assume you mean $8bn not $8mn. It feels like the latter wouldn't last long!? Either way, the user base will end up paying. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith I guess Ryan runs this instance on a shoestring and even then subsidises it despite our donations. Given that, the bumps along the way are part of the #Mastodon experience I guess. While I'm pleased to see #Bluesky picking up, I do wonder who is paying for it all in the long run. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith True. I could also spend days trying and failing to do that! (For the record I'm rubbish at R.) npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Should I spend hours trying and failing to get an #Rstats API thing to work or just type the numbers in from loads of pdfs...or... npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Ok. It's been a difficult first year on the #allotment. Especially because of slugmageddon. But it's not a complete disaster. npub1nz27d6ve3esdymln4s8hh79nsp57kprypadkcgpu84qp5uc3ermqwfzc94 Keith Quick! Someone send round the David Sedaris quote. That'll fix it.
