Shout-out to my fellow "crayons", if you know, you know.

I can think of no other primordial area in which hardware/software integration is such a necisity. Nor other vendor from today's computer comanies I'd trust to have the diligence to build this sort of thing right from the get go other than Oxide.

Every now and again when replacing a recifier had what we affectionally refered to as a"flashbang". Personally I never witnessed a flash but my god I heard a bang or two. In those moments I truely understood what it was to be petrified.

To be clear no-one came to harm from these events.

Soo story time.

Rectifiers, firmware, and controllers. Boring stuff right? Well in a previous life I worked as a a field engineer for a comapny that did large scale compute with banks of rectifiers providing DC power to blades in the rack.

Well that was a few good days off work 🥾🥾🥾

I cannot express how good it was to rejoin my fellow sweaty strangers once again. It had been far too long. As always…

Final gig of the week 🤘

Had to nip in for a closer visit.

The city is still pretty.

GM London.

If this DLR train drops below 50mph WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Perhaps the place I miss most in London.

Slowhole.

Moloch, in motion (blur).

Black Groove setting the tone for the night.

Having my bones shaken at The Black Heart just like old times 🤘

Today’s walk.

Saw Kloyd and Art School Girlfriend last night. Great way to kick off a week of gigs.

First time at The Colour Factory and first impressions are it’s gonna be sick.

It’s sunny and over 20 degrees therefor I am in a pub garden (of sorts). British law is quite clear on this matter.

Setting out on yesterday’s walk.

If we lose the civil, elegant, and classic chime I propose it be replaced with the choatic air horn (jj or otherwise) once every 3-5 episodes.

Fits/sits probe testing cares not for ESD.

To be clear this is less it being OpenAI who acquired them and more that cruicial infra needs to be part of the neutral org that handles the language itself. This can't be fully community solved or you get unreliable actors controlling the ecosystem.
(Which is also a funding issue to some degree)

Congrats!
