A weird sight in Ireland---no wind, and blue in the sky.

Not used to seeing brutalist architecture around here, but apparently Dún Laoghaire has some.

Windows XP as the newest mention *and* USB 3? What *year* are you from, mduse?

Those look a bit tough and fibrous, honestly.

you, a fool: "Things in the UK can't possibly get any worse."

triffids:

Welcome. Welcome, to City 17.

Time to see this for the gajillion-and-first time.

Got my ominous glowing red CST trackball at work the same day I put on the newly arrived #SGDQ2019 shirt, and a couple colleagues have the blue one, so it's time for the Marble Madness OST all afternoon.

It's Antoine-Augustin Parmentier's birthday!

He's a major part in why you get to enjoy all the delicious forms of the potato, rather than it just being dismissed as animal feed unsuitable for humans.

He didn't just get them declared edible in France; he made them sneakily desirable with tricks like posting armed guards around the "valuable" crop that were instructed to take bribes and leave them stealable at night.

Happy birthday, Antoine!

Take that, ten day forecast.

I guess that was Summer, then. #Dublin

"You cannot escape computers", he says, remarking on this from his portable computer.

Twice!

Rain! Actual proper rain!

Nice day today.

(Let's not count that the sign just out of shot warns you "don't swim here, it's too polluted".)

Also, rescued a bee from a path. Watch out for exhausted bugs in bad places.

Aw yee looking forward to my week off

Remembered to go check out one of the attempts at distributed-federated-E2E-encrypted-chat, but Firefox apparently read the matrix.org domain-name and decided to go full information superhighway-punk on the error message:

Bees!

Worship the monolith.

Still haven't found out if this is actually someone's commute to the offices here.
