I always meant to become a member of the Filmhouse in its previous incarnation, but never did. This time, I’ve decided to take the plunge and get the little red card.
Hopefully I can make time next weekend to see the Sorceror rerelease as my first member’s ticket.
This also means I get to futz around with beancount and try to keep track of how much value I get out of the upfront cost. Cos, y’know, it’s not a hobby if I don’t write some custom code.
We didn’t make it all the way through Happy Feet in the cinema for our second trip. There’s a lot of “mild peril” in there.
Another one for “I’m not the target market”.
Here we are in 2026 and the seemingly simple goal of finding a mobile app to scan books, find decent metadata, and create a collection is still too difficult.
Just won my first round of lunchtime mahjong!
Yes
Last night I had the honour of introducing two people to the wonder that is “jurassic park melodica” on youtube.
Cars and TVs don’t need jingles and dancing light sequences for switching on and off. What possible benefit is there to this?
With everything becoming a general purpose CPU but with wheels/a screen, product owners are just saying “Sure, why not?” instead of “No, that’s pointless”
This should not be allowed.
These look like great wee toys.
Sadly, it doesn’t look like Oldboy is in the Wee Filmhouse section, so I don’t think it’s a kid friendly screening. He’ll just have to put up with the louder volume.
In the last three days I’ve watched three films of my choice, start to finish without interruption. It’s been a while.
And let me tell you, 28 Years Later, Monsters Inc, and then Bone Temple is a great run of movies.
The amount of highland cow themed AI slop on display in Edinburgh is quite something.
I’ve installed home assistant and started configuring as many things as I can. I needed another timesink.
My first time back at the Filmhouse in several years, and the little one’s first full film in a cinema experience, had me feeling quite emotional.
I didn’t realise that just walking up the steps with him to the front door would have bring such a wave of feelings.
With any luck, and a little persuasion, hopefully we can make this trip a regular event.
Ninety minute slack huddles are why I’m glad I invested in lightweight, open backed headphones.
Very excited to book tickets for me and the wee one to see Monsters Inc at the Filmhouse this weekend. Hopefully I can get him shouting “Mike Wazowski!” instead of “You’re a poo!” for a little while.
I could certainly have started the year with something a little easier to read in small chunks.
Started coming up with a complicated scheme to better account for paypal transactions in beancount. Zerosum accounts, statement parsers…then realised I could just stop using paypal completely and solve the issue.
Beginning to think that shouting “Electric Boogaloo!” every time I see a variable name, heading, or just generally coming across anything with the number “2” in it might be making me look old.
