Jodie Whittaker was amazing in Broadchurch. I’m extremely happy to see her as the new Doctor.
“Arguably the greatest player ever to pick up a racket.” There’s no argument, Sue.
I’m shocked, saddened and sickened that Wimbledon can’t spell Garbiñe Muguruza’s name correctly on their scoreboard. It’s not an emoji.
Wow! ATP has a killer new version of its outro theme on episode 230. No mention of it in-show, though, even in the aftershow.
Forgot yesterday: worst thing about Apple earbuds is that the control is on the right-hand wire. Every other pair has it on the left.
Wondering why people recruiting for senior development positions often ask low-level JVM type questions. Doesn’t hurt to know that stuff, but who keeps it at their fingertips?
Subtitles Café on the Balls Pond Road has a sign saying “Best Covfefe in London.”
Trying to use Maven properly to build and release an open-source project. Was it invented just to make things more complex?
In Naples airport waiting to fly back to London. Have charging point, but iPad won’t talk to iPhone for tethering.
OM god! Radiohead are doing ‘Creep’. Somehow I thought they didn’t do that anymore. And no bowdlerisation, either. I approve.

The Skids in full flow, earlier tonight.
Jesus, but The Skids are good live.
Preparing the stage for The Skids.

Based on my two-minute walk to the polling station and thirty seconds there, I predict a very high turnout. #ge2017
Pleased to see that Ada Palmer’s Too Like the Lightning, which I’ve spoken of before here appears to have a British publisher at last. Amazon is showing it available from 1st July. I’ve preordered.
Amusing to see that covfefe.com redirects to Teespring.
