Saturday Morning. 7.25 am. Been awake for almost an hour. Can’t lie around in bed. So, at the computer with a large mug of black coffee, as is my usual start to the day. First day off in seven. Nothing specific planned for today, but maybe some gardening later.

An employee of a company that runs an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Colorado is under arrest
after shooting and injuring a woman on Thursday evening.
The incident happened after the woman participated in a protest in front of the facility earlier that day,
according to the Aurora police department.
When officers arrived on the scene, they said they found the woman with a gunshot wound in her lower body.
She had a friend with her, who was …

`When I was twelve, I helped my daddy build a bomb shelter in our basement because some fool parked a dozen warheads 90 miles off the coast of Florida. This thing could park a couple of hundred warheads off Washington and New York and noone would know anything about it until it was all over.`

the non-news of the solstice is that, surprising no-one, there will not be a leap second at the new year
the difference between UT1 and UTC remains very close to zero and the earth is rotating at very close to 24h per day
BUT LOOK
since i previously posted these charts in march, the length-of-day line (green) has popped upwards

chart of length of day (in green, microseconds difference from 24 hours, averaged over 10 months) and UT1-UTC (in purple, milliseconds) since the start of 2006, showing the green line initially around 900us then around 2019-2021 shifting to arouns 0us; the purple line starts off as a sawtooth (due to leap seconds) then flattens out

Making mince. There is a tray of steaks to the right. Behind, other parts of the carcass are being dismantled. The rain has started so we have moved everything on to the main table and erected an awning over it.
At the end of the day, everything has been cleaned up and cleared away, but the awning is still over the stainless steel table.

#vinyl #OldVinyl

Santana's "Welcome" (1973). The cover is minimalist: a cream/off-white background with just the word "Welcome" rendered in elegant gold cursive script running diagonally across the sleeve, no other imagery or text visible on this side. There's some light foxing/age spotting near the top edge, consistent with a vinyl jacket from that era.

ALT by Claude
The Beatles, "Magical Mystery Tour" — the psychedelic rainbow cover with the band in animal costumes (walrus, bird, and rabbit-eared costumes) surrounded by colorful stars on a starry blue background, "Beatles" in yellow star-lettering above, and hand-lettered song titles arced across the top (The Fool on the Hill, Flying, Blue Jay Way, Your Mother Should Know, I Am the Walrus). A sticker/label notes it includes a 24-page picture book, and track titles (Hello Goodbye, Strawberry Fields Forever,…
The Specials, "More Specials" — bold black-and-white title type over a color photo of the band lounging in armchairs around a low table cluttered with pint glasses, set against a retro wood-paneled/stained-glass backdrop; one member is baring vampire fangs for the camera.

ALT by Claude
B.B. King, "A Heart Full of Blues" — a well-worn, scuffed cover (lots of surface wear/scratches) showing B.B. King in a mustard-yellow suit and bow tie, smiling, with a tracklist along the left side (You're Gonna Miss Me, Got 'Em Bad, Troubles Don't Last, Your Letter, I Can't Explain, The Wrong Road, I Need You Baby, So Many Days, Down Hearted, Strange Things) and a "Custom Records R&B Series" logo — catalog number CM 2040, monaural.

The first U.S. Labor Day celebration took place in New York City on Sept. 5, 1882,
with 10,000 marchers.
In 1894, President Cleveland signed a congressional act establishing the first Monday of September as a legal holiday,
which has become known for promotional sales as well as a day off for many.
The holiday has particular resonance in Southern California,
where the labor movement remains large in numbers and powerful in political influence.

(Was UHF always this bad but our TVs were small enough not to notice?)
(My Beeb only started some stuff after I took it's lid off - is it's got some heat problems!)

A computer genrated simple snooker table, side on, with all the balls; photo off a TV
Acornsoft Monsters - a simple platform game with red monsters running around various levels with vertical purple ladders.  Our player is standing at the bottom of the middle level in the starting position.  There's a score/lives etc
Acornsoft snapper - a Pacman clone, but for legal reasons there's a more-person shaped runner than a normal Pacman; the ghosts are still running around a maze with pills.

Why did it fail? Because the code indexes off the current day, so it's now looking for August month-end data, which isn't available yet. 😩 It's a simple fix, just have to manually override the date so I can continue testing/development.
To save myself this grief in the future, I'm going to add some code to throw an exception when zero records are returned.

It turns out I didn't quite put the spacer on the beard trimmer correctly, so carved a swathe out of my beard down to stubble, before I realised. Then I was left with the option of a goatee (doesn't suit my face), shaving it all off, or doing the Paddington method of sticking it back on with marmalade.
So now I don't have a beard.

My wife went swimming in Footscray this morning so I had her drop me off by the pool and then I ran home along the Maribyrnong river and up the Stockyard trail, back through Royal Park to the inner North. Brilliant day for a run and a nice change of scenery. #melbourne #running

An area of grassland with a variety of eucalyptus trees and rocks in the foreground under a blue sky
A runner makes her way across a footbridge over a river under blue skies with some tall buildings in the background
A glassy river under blue skies, with some birds overhead, bushes along the banks, and a city skyline just visible in the distance

Keep the bad photographs,

"Get an electric car" they said
"You'll save so much money" they said
Every fucking bit of solar generation we have presently ends up in the car, and this is peak season, so we're just paying the electric company for all the house load rather than being practically off grid. House battery (22kWh) now at 5% SoC after a day of bright sunshine, even throttling the van to a 6A230V charge.
Better get those extra 10 panels installed.

alpena has a great used record store, noise & toys, and i usually come home with an inch or two of LPs, but not this year bc they’re in the middle of moving to a new space #alas
they don’t sort by categories, just alphabetically. i usually spend hours rummaging for vintage jazz among all the rest, picking up where i left off the following year.
i have found so many gems there

A storefront entrance is flanked by two big display windows painted with "NOISE & TOYS" and "WE PAY CASH FOR RECORDS," plus a hand-drawn "OPEN" sign and a Record Store Day Drops poster in the right window. The awning above is decorated with a row of oversized musical notes cut from what looks like white vinyl or paper, giving it a fun, handmade record-shop vibe. Chalkboard panels below each window are covered in band names and doodles — KISS, Aerosmith, a Grateful Dead skull-and-lightning-bolt,…

200 mile day on the Super Meteor. Down to Coshocton to close my dad's bank account, pretty much all back roads. Here's my one stopover at Dover Dam on the way down.
Central Ohio has some fantastic roads for motorcycling once you get off the highway. You just have to watch for farm vehicles and Amish buggies from time to time. But you get lots of curves and rolling hills through some really beautiful farmland and forests.

Ugh bot accounts that post cool images are great, *if* they have alt text. If they don't, it's a bit sad because it's like repeatedly slamming the door in the face of people who need it. But what really pisses me off is when they do have alt text, but it's AI-generated, and they don't even say so. I checked the three most recent posts from this account:

There's a suggestion to add a 15mph speed limit to the multi-use path/trails here, and some cyclist complain that 15mph is too slow.
Why don't they just do what car drivers do? When it's 25mph car drivers do 30mph or even 35mph.
So for a 15mph bike speed limit just go 20mph, or maybe up to 22mph and call it day.
(I'm only half serious here. I did go 20mph on my ebike on a trail this weekend but the motor was off and I was going down a huge hill. Otherwise I pretty much keep it 15 or lower.)

Trump’s legal and rhetorical assault on voting by mail
— and the flurry of contradictory court decisions around it
— has left voters confused and local officials scrambling just eight weeks before November’s critical midterm elections.
The contortions have county registrars dusting off Election Day contingency plans developed for natural disasters like floods and wildfires.
They have struggled to make it through planning meetings before the latest version of the rules…

Keep the bad photographs,

anything where the kids were scowling,
the haircuts sorely regrettable,

It’s the life actually lived, not the one curated for Instagram, that you miss.

North Korea has launched about 10 short-range ballistic missiles towards the sea, South Korea’s military said,
a day after Pyongyang shrugged off Donald Trump’s order to scale back US military drills with South Korea
in an apparent attempt to resume diplomacy.
The joint chiefs of staff said the missiles were launched from the region of Pyongyang at around 5pm (08.00 GMT)
on Thursday towards North Korea’s eastern waters.
The military said South Korea had bolstere…

My wife likes to sleep in on days off. I tend to wake up the same time every day. Earlier sometimes if I’m at work by five, but otherwise, naturally, around 5.30 - 6.00 am. If I sleep later, it’s never beyond 7 am unless I’m unwell. Anyway, I leave her sleeping unless we’re going out somewhere.
