    The USPTO is ridiculous. And the whole idea of software patents is especially ridiculous. So maybe the whole idea of patents is ridiculous and outdated.

    What’s worse: putting ransonware on NHS computers, or underfunding the NHS so it can’t afford to upgrade IT infrastructure?

    Just changed Micro.blog to use Wordpress “Status” posts instead of “Asides”. This has meant close to (but not quite) a reinstallation.

    Further to my thought the other day about the Clips iPhone app and portrait video: it doesn’t let you shoot in landscape. Or it does, but it doesn’t rotate. So you end up with sideways videos.

    Broadchurch, man. Still kicking it out of the park.

    The blossoms are out.

    Another Kind of Town

    After last night’s post, I listened to the rest of episode 2 this morning. And it quickly became a very different story.

    I painted a picture of the City. (OK, it’s #Prisma again).

    This is what rhe trees in Hackney are looking like this spring.
    #prisma with the “Thota Vaikuntam” effect. #thotavaikuntam

    More travel today, back to London. And feeling under the weather. I wrote part of a post on the train, but won’t complete it cos we’re about to go out to see La La Land.

    Proper posting will resume tomorrow.

    Daily Posting Harder When You're Away

    I may not get to do a proper post today, as I’m in Edinburgh visiting friends. As well, my phone’s battery has become increasingly erratic, so it could go down at any moment.

    So this is my post for today, unless I get round to writing more.

    Have a good weekend, everyone.

    No snow after Peterborough. In fact we’ve had some sun since then.

    On a train to Edinburgh. Snowing at Peterborough. What will happen next?

    New Year lanterns in Chinatown, London.

    So good. So fuckin good. #Rezillos

    Finally, the Rezillos. “Can’t Stand My Baby” is the opener.

    Still not the Rezillos. Everyone’s sharing kit tonight, which is very 77. Spizz Energi onstage.

    Not actually the Rezillos, but the Tuts, my new favourite band.

    Content Provider

    I may not get to write a proper post today, as I haven’t yet and we’re about to go and see Stewart Lee: Content Provider, so I probably won’t manage to later.

    So this is by way of meeting my challenge.
