Tech updates: side quests...
Taking a holiday from the fevered consideration of the optimal method to choose the distribution for randomising the scope for consulting on considering a grass-roots movement to form a citizens' assembly to set terms for a Royal Commission to guide the forming of a ministerial task force to consider the scoping and creation of a focus group to sketch terms of reference for a study group to outline the agenda for a pre-meeting to form a steering group to get ready to think about upgrading the RPi server, easy does it...

2025-08-06: Side Quests

Not really a tech thing, but some of my not-secret not-main tasks (ie not planned PhD research and not volunteering such as TTK, RCK, KEF), also not in order:

  • "How (and why) to install a GB heatpump in 2 days" open letter to DESNZ and Octopus.
  • Letter to ICO and FCA about absolutely bonkers misapplied security at my bank.
  • RSS Efficiency paper for arXiv / NLUUG, including collaboration on CO2 estimates.
  • DoI for LOCO24 lighting talk (and/or FOSDEM).
  • Put KEHS talks up.
  • Put up more ambient field recordings.
  • Do the RPi server upgrade!
