So farewell then Microsoft Office. I haven't used you really since the 90s. From this distance: it seems like you just kept getting worse and more exploitative since then and trapped millions of people in abusive relationships with tech. It made me laugh when you went monthly-payment subscription-only, and then laugh even more when suckers actually ponied up for that. It's fun when people say they don't know how to use Libreoffice, even though Libre is more like the original MS Office (before it was shit) than Office 365 was. I wish you fare well on your transition to your new identity as "The Microslop 365 Co-dependency Ass" or whatever the new name is. Good luck in your new task of exploiting people and learning how to replace them in their jobs. I will not be subscribing to your services. Or newsletter. I will continue to tell people I refuses to accept files in proprietary file formats. #microSlop #office #CoPiliot #ai #enshitification #poem

So farewell then 2025. In numbers: * 11 wordcloud tarot shows * 3 Festivals * 2 Loopy piano gigs * 2 Live Performance Improv Shows * 1 observers cartoon * 1 new microcamper/car * 1 new bedroom * 1 Bitcoin/Nostr conference * 1 Life-Log App released * 1 Broken Wrist * 1 Mortgage paid off Seems okay.

So Farewell Then 2025

So farewell then 2025. Had some serious health worries, made some stuff, did some performance, made money, had some fun. Not the best year, suspect...

Have a happy new year's eve everyone, and an even happier new year.

Heyhey y'all. Hope you had a nice xmas. Watched War Between The Land And The Sea with the family over Xmas so I can catch up on the Who Culture episodes about it without spoilers. Plus the mattress on the new Tardis bedroom should have expanded over xmas to be useable without voiding guarantee. So when I got back after Xmas I used the bed for lounging about drinking a glass of wine, watching Who Culture podcast, and mucking about on the tablet screen. Nice. #selfie
