window135 tim jones & meena chodha

Window 135 window135.com is one of the most consistently interesting things I regularly walk past. Wonderfully curated, often provocative and always worth a second look it's exactly the sort of thing that makes the south east a good place to be.

The best home office in the country?

We've upgraded our WiFi over the winter and there are terraces around the ground with pitch views and desk access πŸ’»

See you there and we won't tell your boss 🀫

Brockley and Brooklyn are emotionally twinned for sure.

In my more nuanced terminology that would be preschool as well, with 'nursery' the wider container from 'just before a year' up until reception and having three broad stages ('babies' 'toddlers' and 'preschool' likely with further divisions within those depending on the size of the institution).

Chelwood Nursery School

Yeah, I mean things vary but this doesn't sound too different to chelwood.lewisham.sch.uk for instance. So less baby or toddler care but no less valuable for it. I think in America you might call it "pre-K"

It depends on the ratio's and terminology but in a UK context this would be childcare (e.g. you could spend a childcare voucheror tax free childcare on it!)

How did you feel about the words? I didn't care for them particularly but I understand they relate to the other sites as well so if I did a bit more walking I might feel more positive about them.

Did I need the silly two-screen laptop? No. Am I delighted with the build and OLED screen quality, surprised how useable the touchscreen keyboard-and-touchpad Lenovo wrote for it is, and happy that a decent amount works in Linux out of the box? Yes.

(Also, what a way to play Factorio)

Octopus Greener Nights Calendar

If you are on Octopus Energy and have an EV then you might not know about their Greener Nights program where you get credit for charging on "green" nights. I wrote a little tool to generate a calendar feed from their schedule, rossburton.gitlab.io/octopus-gree.... Hopefully useful for someone else!

A mastodon post by MDMRN (@mdmrn@urusai.social). It reads:

Good morning and happy Wednesday! 

Last night, I learned, that if you put a candy cane in a hot glue gun, it will melt and you can use it like hot glue.

Which is helpful when making a ginger bread house.

Just putting that information out there. If you use a brand new hot glue gun dedicated to candy canes, it's still edible.

So, yea.

Have a great one.

If you want a 'private members club' and can afford the fee, you can just get the same experience without the hassle and for a fraction of the cost by just going to a decent family restaurant repeatedly.

Other than that, you have a solid point! And I'm sitting at "radio 4 comedy" or "quite a lot of radio 3", possibly the proms.

Yeah, and even with co-production money I am going in to bat hard for Nicholas Winding Refn's series of Famous Five TV movies.

Children's and teens programming. By quite a distance, and certainly when compared to commercial PSBs.

Only seen as specific links from journalists linking to their stories there, which seems fine because a) they're prefiltered as I see them b) often they are in fact about rugby

For me Whispersync for voice does this. But I think you need to have very specific devices. help.audible.co.uk/s/article/li...

It will be no surprise to hear, but clearly a new Master and Commander movie is the only answer.

I made an app for Linux called Octopus Agile Prices. You can get it on Flathub. flathub.org/apps/com.ned... It will be very useful if you use Linux, are in the UK and use Octopus for electricity. I also wrote a blog post about it: www.nedrichards.com/2025/07/octo...
