Funny to think the kid with the spoon must be in his late 20s by now.

Watching The Matrix for the first time in what must be over a decade. Away from the ridiculous over exposure it had years after release, it really is a terrific film. It's aged very well, apart from the music and little things like phones.

Apologies in advance

NYC, July 2006 in Times Square. I wanted to get the hectic lights and energy of the place with a slow shutter speed and a cab speeding past.

Giewont, Tatra mountains, Poland 2009. A rare sunny day. It was still extraordinarily cold compared to what I'd been used to.

December 20th, 2009. Waiting for the bus to the Tatra mountains at 0630 in the morning, in -20C / -4F. It's overexposed by about one stop, it was darker in reality. #photography 🇵🇱

Wawel Castle, December 2009. I think it was my birthday. It was very cold - well below zero - and this low brick wall was the only place I could rest my camera.

It's that time of year when January nears its midpoint and you can almost taste the better weather, but then it snaps very cold and you stare forlornly at your motorbike.

Also Fedora, well done on grey text on a slightly greyer background on your Cinnamon theme.

Have files on your computer? = 'Perhaps your files are outside the bounds of Tracker's design'.

Amazing. RAW photo files, older ones at that - defeating the Gnome project's state of the art indexer.

This old J-Law-in-Twilight still makes me chuckle.

Did Amazon really think this hashtag through?

I recall a Louis Theroux series a few years back that did something similar. It was pretty interesting.

This is a good read. The documentaries are on Netflix:

Gmail's autocomplete/compose makes me rather concerned. Privacy aside, at what point is your intent and personality subtly changed by your mail client phrasing for you? When you're conversing with someone, are you really conversing with them, or an algorithm that as written half the message?

My biggest criticism is a couple of talking heads repeat the axiomatic 'singleplayer is dead' in the segment about HL3. One of them was a Black Mesa developer, which to me just seems bizarre.

It would be more truthful to just admit that studios aren't interested in single player because it is hard, and hard is expensive.

On the subject of Half Life, I really enjoyed this documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQLEW1c-69c

I completely got the trepidation of the Black Mesa team when it came to Xen: The original was complete shit.

This however, looks like a great effort:

I slipped in the snow on Sunday; I put a lot of force through my left knee. It's been difficult and painful since. If it doesn't improve in 24hrs, I don't see much choice but to get it looked at.
