Today's test of the UK emergency broadcast system is going to be disappointing, isn't it? I mean, I have become excited by the geek aspects of the whole thing - but the wall-to-wall coverage has really built this up now to the point of hype. It's a shame, we had wine in and were planning a "emergency alert party"

As mentioned in the above toot yesterday, the UK government are going to be scaring the pants off half the country at 3pm today with an emergency alert test. If you have a hidden phone you don't want someone finding out about, turn off emergency alerts in that phone's settings or turn the phone off. Otherwise it's very likely to make a loud noise once the test commences. Edit: Going through the replies suggests it's best to turn the SETTING off and NOT just the phone.

With me looking to get back to a bit more public speaking, I've revamped my talks site so it's a little easier to see the previous talks I've done, as well as moving content from my site to the talks site.

Deffo still needs work, but it's better than what was there before 😅

In a conversation on reddit today someone asked if other languages have phrases like "rightie tightie, leftie loosie" to remember which way to turn screws/lids/etc. And one person answers that in Spanish, the phrase is: "La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera." or: "The right oppresses, the left liberates." (Now I kind of want to put this on a t shirt)
