Another month, another billing SMS from @Bt_Uk. I'm still not a customer! How can I make this stop? Can OFCOM help?
@bt_uk every month you text me to tell me my bill is ready, but I haven’t been a customer for years. Can you please stop?
@NashMuhandes don't do it!
New blog post: viva jmtd.net/log/phd/viva/ #phd
@sevenxyt @ptr_to_joel that was one of the better thinkpads
@BBC6Music orbital - beached please. Ta!
@My_Metro I imagine you know this already, but no power to ticket machines, overhead train times or touch in panels at monkseaton, at least platform 1
@northeastraces hey Barry. How’s life treating you?
@MelFmHell @MaryJac34095075 @P_Kallioniemi "snapped" most likely means "took a photo of", not punched ;)
New blog post: Korg Minilogue XD jmtd.net/log/synths/min… #musicmaking
@My_Metro morning. Machine 22 at monkseaton seems faulty for card top ups (“production issue”). Please pass on

The icing on the cake is thanks to the University’s long-standing policy to give separate accounts to staff and students: I’m getting two copies of it all
And (of course) the random stuff I’m being pushed via email (content “I’d missed”) doesn’t have any unsubscribe links or list headers.
These “toggles” are all un-toggleable ☹️
Some very interesting replies
Is there any good reason for publishing papers as PDF instead of HTML? Imagine how much more accessible academic knowledge would be if it were a Wikipedia style web of papers
