Paraphrased quote from So I Married An Axe Murderer:
"Twenty Four years ago today, Arianna and I were married. Some of you were there, some of you weren't born, and some of you are now DEED! But, we both said "I do," and we haven't agreed on a single thing since." #Anniversary#Marriage

Had some amazing chicken fettuccine alfredo with the amazing wife today for our 10 year anniversary.

"It is impossible to speak of Turing’s achievements and legacy without also mentioning the brutal, institutionalised homophobia that saw him persecuted as a gay man and ultimately cut his life short."
Never forget the consequences of war. Normandy Beach, beautiful in an eerie way. This is wreckage left on the beach and then this was where 1000s lost their lives. Blood seeping deep into the sand. Strange standing here.
The first week of June is always a lot of fun: #pride, #wwdc, my mum's #birthday, our oldest cat's birthday and our #anniversary... all in one week ^.^ 🎊
Jon Hopkins' 2013 album "Immunity" turns 10 this year.
"The main riff on Open Eye Signal was created on the 1979 Korg MS20 [...] This riff alone I must have spent 4 months on. The notes were in place quite early, but the gradual changes to the sound took so long. So much effort into trying to make something sound effortless."
I moved my personal site to it 5 years ago. From my blog post:
"I am also interested in exploring other open web technologies, like ActivityPub and OStatus. I’m not 100% convinced that Mastodon will take over Twitter, but there is a lot of promise in the ideas and technologies behind it."
