  11.            <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/2005/03/10/totally-agree/">Whatever happened to that idea</a>? From here, twenty years ago.</p>
  12. <p>Listened to the &quot;And The Rest Is Entertainment&quot; <a href="/wiki/#podcast">podcast</a> with <a href="/wiki/#richard/osman">Richard Osman</a> and Marina Hyde, and they said this year&#39;s <a href="/wiki/#glastonbury">Glastonbury</a> lineup is not the worst one ever, so that&#39;s already. Yes there will be some pop acts on there that I have not heard of, that&#39;s fine, I&#39;m in my fifties. I think it would be good for the headliners to have some longevity. Maybe <a href="/wiki/#1975">The 1975</a> and Olivia Rodrigo will stick around. I still can&#39;t help feeling there have to be some significantly bigger acts still to be added though.</p>
  13. <p>They did have some interesting bits in there, trying to find the best and worst <a href="/wiki/#glastonbury">Glastonbury</a>, without actually saying which were the best and worst by comparing headliners from other years. <a href="/wiki/#1995">1995</a> got a shout out for having <a href="/wiki/#cure">The Cure</a>, <a href="/wiki/#pulp">Pulp</a>, and <a href="/wiki/#oasis">Oasis</a>, we were at that one, and saying that was a bit of a tipping point as the previous year had The Levellers, Peter Gabriel, and The Pretenders as headliners. I was at that one too and have always remembered it as being <a href="/wiki/#rage/against/the/machine">Rage Against The Machine</a> who headlined, but they were just below The Levellers on the main stage. Also I think The Pretenders played on <a href="/wiki/#nme">the NME</a> stage, so who was the other main stage headliner? <a href="/wiki/#wikipedia">Wikipedia</a> says it was Elvis Costello.</p>
  14. <p>He did not say who he thought the worst <a href="/wiki/#glastonbury">Glastonbury</a> lineup was but he did call out <a href="/wiki/#1992">1992</a> when he said the headliners were <a href="/wiki/#carter/usm">Carter USM</a>, Shakespeare&#39;s Sister, and The Shamen, but again he&#39;s picked a second stage band there.</p>
  15. <p>I have cancelled my <a href="/wiki/#train">train</a> ticket for tomorrow and got a refund, as there is actually no-one else in the office for me to even speak to.</p>

  118.    <p>Had a few good weeks of it, months maybe, but now <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gdwgjkk1no">The Trump effect is kicking in</a>, everything is falling again. I have some US <a href="/wiki/#shares">stonks</a> and some not, the US ones are properly diving. Glad I got rid of Tesla ages ago, but my one I thought was safe, spread across US tech stocks is being punished. <a href="/wiki/#lloyds">Lloyds</a> are still looking good, but dropped about 5% over the past few weeks. This is a lot, I remember being excited / concerned about a move of 1% in a week not so long ago, but they&#39;ve risen to much they can take it.</p>
  119. <p><a href="/wiki/#work">Work</a> was HARD yesterday, I&#39;m struggling over a new phone number authentication / validation <a href="/wiki/#api">API</a>. I think I set it up incorrectly in one system, making it hard to use in another system. Slept on it and it will be OK.</p>
  120. <p>Didn&#39;t <a href="/wiki/#sleep">sleep</a> super well, woke up suddenly for an idea of a Monopoly tour of <a href="/wiki/#london">London</a> next time we go as a family. Roll <a href="/wiki/#dice">dice</a>, go to the parts of town we land on. One lap of the board in a day? We can do that, take in some different cafes and pubs and see what we see. Big silver top hat optional.</p>
  121. <p>I saw Cast today in <a href="/wiki/#1996">1996</a>, this must be the gig where I got those two <a href="/wiki/#vinyl">vinyl</a> albums signed. I tried to play one at the weekend but couldn&#39;t get it out of the plastic wrapper without making a mess, so it went back in the record box.</p>

  188.    <p>Fairly disappointing <a href="/wiki/#tesco">Tesco</a> bin food run today. I got a couple of very nice baguettes, one salt and pepper annd one stone baked multiseed one. There&#39;s loads of free bread to be had at this time. Apart from that only couple of bags of <a href="/wiki/#brussels">brussels</a> sprouts to be had. I think I have some potatoes left in the fridge, so might make some sort of sprout aloo and put it in the baguette for tea. The others are all having chicken ramen.</p>
  189. <p>I do actually have leftover Chinese <a href="/wiki/#takeaway">takeaway</a> in the fridge, will leave that for lunch tomorrow then. Yesterday we went out for a lovely lunch at <a href="/wiki/#ship">The Ship in</a> Sandgate again. Is there our new Saturday routine..? I had <a href="/wiki/#vegan">the vegan</a> burger this time, T1 had chicken, T2 had the same loaded chips as last week, and Clare had the flat bread I had last week. We were in no rush to do anything else so sat there for quite a while. Eventually they put <a href="/wiki/#rugby">the rugby</a> on so we watched the second half of <a href="/wiki/#ireland">the Ireland</a> France <a href="/wiki/#game">game</a> there too. More <a href="/wiki/#game">games</a> of cards. T1 left early and came back, then I left slightly before Clare and T2 to try and get some bread on the way home. Then when I got home I gave up on the idea of just sandwiches for tea and ordered a delivery. So another day of feasting.</p>
  190. <p>Today we went for a bit of a walk, and I did a couple of jobs. Changed the light switch in T1&#39;s room so it&#39;s the same <a href="/wiki/#zigbee">zigbee</a> controlled mains switch as everyone else, where it was an <a href="/wiki/#ikea">IKEA</a> remote switch. Only got one of those left to change now I think, in our room, and no rush for that.</p>
  191. <p>Today <a href="/wiki/#weather">weather</a> has been lovely, so we went back out again to get the boys ice creams. Now sitting and more <a href="/wiki/#rugby">rugby</a>. Later will be <a href="/wiki/#ninja">ninjaing</a> those <a href="/wiki/#sprouts">sprouts</a> and a bit of ironing ready for <a href="/wiki/#school">school</a> tomorrow.</p>

  322.    <p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c334jg7lvz0o">What&#39;s the rule when the headline is a question</a>? I suspect that is a no. One of these was one of the prizes on <a href="/wiki/#work">the work</a> advent calendar last year. I opened that every day, putting me in a draw for prizes like that. There were multiple prizes every day, and it ran for twenty-four days, and only a few thousand people entered each day. I thought my odds were pretty good, and I should have won something. But no. And neither did anyone in our department.</p>
  323. <p><a href="/wiki/#work">Work</a> was good yesterday, really good. First, I was instrumental in SMASHING a mini project that we started and finished in really good time. We had a job to do over a few weeks, and we got the whole thing done in a few days, just in time to brag about it at the all hands meeting. It went so well that we were rewarded with an early finish. However, of the four people who really <a href="/wiki/#work">worked</a> on this project, one had <a href="/wiki/#day/off">the day off</a> anyway so sort of missed out, then the other three of us had to stay late fixing something. So everyone not involved in the project got to leave early. You&#39;re welcome guys!</p>
  324. <p>Second good thing at <a href="/wiki/#work">work</a> was actually the broken thing, something went wrong right at leaving time, but in staying to fix it I learned some new devops stuff. And that&#39;s an objective for me so it&#39;s all good.</p>
  325. <p>I got out of <a href="/wiki/#work">work</a> at five, so same time as normal for a Friday, nearly early enough to catch the good <a href="/wiki/#weather">weather</a>. I walked to <a href="/wiki/#sandgate">Sandgate</a> and back, and it was nice. Could see some stragglers still on <a href="/wiki/#beach">the beach</a>.</p>
  326. <p>Watched <a href="/wiki/#marvel">Marvel</a>&#39;s The Eternals last night, it was much better than I was expecting. I think it leads into the latest Captain America <a href="/wiki/#film">film</a> which we still haven&#39;t seen yet. It&#39;s going to be on <a href="/wiki/#tv">TV</a> before we get round to it at this rate.</p>

  357. <p>I probably used about £2.50 of <a href="/wiki/#energy">energy</a> just writing that. I am not rich.

  435.    <p>See ya later Tile! I bought a couple of PebbleBee credit card sized tracking devices. They fit in a wallet, so the idea is, you can find your wallet! You can find it with your phone if it&#39;s near, and you can find it with your phone and <a href="/wiki/#google">Google</a> Find My Device network if it&#39;s far away, using the network. I already had the Tile version of this, and it was fine, but <a href="/wiki/#battery">the battery</a> ran out. The tile one did not have a replaceable <a href="/wiki/#battery">battery</a>, and it was limited to the Tile network, which far fewer people have. This new one is a) rechargeable, and b) on that google <a href="/wiki/#android">android</a> network so everyone is part of finding it now. It&#39;s like the apple airtage that you probably have (Clare has some) but it&#39;s not apple.</p>
  436. <p>The thing is, now I have them, and have opened them, and connected them and stashed them safely away, I don&#39;t get more fun out of them. The next time I will use these is when I lose my wallet or my bag (I bought two) or when I recharge them in eighteen months time. At least I can recharge them.</p>
  437. <p>I can&#39;t link to it in a way that might make me money but <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pebblebee-Rechargeable-Compatible-Bluetooth-Resistant/dp/B0B1F4FKPF?tag=clarkeology-21">this is the apple / ios equivalent</a>&nbsp;<sup><abbr title="As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.">1</abbr></sup>. I haven&#39;t made money off one of those links in ten years or more though I don&#39;t think.</p>
  438. <p>It&#39;s quite confusing, there&#39;s an <a href="/wiki/#android">Android</a> only one (what I have) and an <a href="/wiki/#iphone">iphone</a> only one, and <a href="https://pebblebee.com/products/pebblebee-card-universal">a universal one here that I didn&#39;t know about</a>, and then another universal one, in that it universally <a href="/wiki/#work">works</a> with neither <a href="/wiki/#iphone">the iphone</a> nor <a href="/wiki/#android">the android</a> network.</p>
  439. <p>There&#39;s another company Chipolo that are making these devices, but I did a search and the Pebblebee one seemed better.</p>
  440. <p>Oh my I was at a <a href="/wiki/#sleeper">Sleeper</a> gig THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY, surely they&#39;re a current band? This must have been down <a href="/wiki/#joiners">The Joiners</a>, <a href="/wiki/#southampton">Southampton</a>. They&#39;re probably still going, maybe they&#39;ll be added to this <a href="/wiki/#glastonbury">Glastonbury</a> lineup.</p>
