Could Wes Streeting be sat any further from the PM while still being in the chamber?

Oh shit it’s David Davis

Wow. Stop Diane, he’s already dead.

The combined product and feeling of learning new skills in your forties... #maya

We had that one at TCR, except they swooped in between us and our four year old through the barrier. First time I’ve sworn at teenagers in public…

Holy shit this is amazing. Just thought of two favourite bands from the period and of course they’re in there.

Hah. I took a fairly hefty position just in time yesterday.

Morally conflicted? Definitely. Sizing up a bigger house? Also true.

Had some fun getting Houdini to generate realistic (at a distance, I still need to work on fine detail) English countryside-style stone walls tonight

I did pick this up and this was a pretty good call, it’s great fun.

Appreciating its unique brand of maximalism, from the absurdly elaborate loading sequence at the start, to the “let’s open this bag of coins” interactions.

Feelings. My new MacBook is with DHL somewhere that is maybe inside China or perhaps not in China.

Hmm. This is tempting me to pick it up…

Windows Explorer in 2026, Microsoft engineers vibe-coding some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen @microsoft.com

The Lisp loop macro is pretty imperative: cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/loop.html

Yep. Since those are like 90% of my workflow, would need all three for it to be viable :/

A screenshot of an unnecessarily complex Houdini geometry graph that generates randomised smoothed jitter in cables.

Vibes. These wires definitely needed realistic jitter to avoid being too smooth. There definitely isn't more important art I could be working on instead of detailing.

I *think* this is a compressor

Hah, having just gotten out of that game - this is gold

VST UI circa 2025

A game where you’re a hedge fund trying to strip as much value as you can from Busytown

Watching Postman Pat with the kid and I’m convinced the show depicts a kind of Shutter Island care in the community situation

Maybe in the same way that PFI moved liabilities off government books?

Slightly regretting staying up very late listening to techno and getting a cable tool in Houdini to fix self-intersections by draping the cable over itself…

Learning procedural modelling from scratch in Houdini

Really respect the “fuck it, I got paid” at the end there.
