Crossed Wires - The Podcast Festival

We got a few tickets to a few shows in the Crossed Wires festivals.  Much to our delight, we landed some last minute tickets for the Newscast, and we managed to see them in the meet and greet.  

It was interesting to see the Invention of ... the Invention of...  At the same time, it is very depressing to think about us trapped in the creation myths that shaped the society and that shapes the society cycle.  

The Montgomery was very warm... and somehow lacks ventilation.  Talking about what we cannot control breathing into our lungs...

It was a nice day out in Sheffield.

Wifi Range Extender

I have setup a range extender at my home.  I still need to properly test it.  The extenders are all 2.4Ghz, so the extended network is actually slower, but supposedly more stable...

Barton Bike Night 2026

Barton Bike Night is as impressive as I remember it.  It was a fairly dry day, and the England has minimal effects on people turning up.  Rebel Curves are there also.  I got a high vis strap from the Humberside Fire stall.

Urban Power Outage II

The extra hot weather brough on lightning, and I got a text from the Northern Powergrid to say my power was affected.  Surprisingly I didn't get such message last time.  I checked my meter reading again, it was less than an hour, and more clocks to reset.

Frappuccino

Aldi was selling Frappuccino for 99p, so I could not resist.  I wish I have a blender at home to make it into a frozen Frappuccino.  James did not understand why we would touch something like that, but I have no shame to admit I consume junk food, and coffee, ie caffine is pure medicinal for me.

Air Conditioning Seeking - Phoenix

I have honed my air conditioning seeking skills since young age.  To continue our cool shelter seeking adventure, we want to Phoenix, they are well air conditioned, we are very please.  We have given them a lot of our customs in exchange.  We just need to brave ourselves to find our way home.
