Yesterday on a whim we went to a near by Italian Restaurant just by the Mayflower Theatre Southampton. It was completely empty, no one sounded Italian and closes at 9PM… the food was amazing!!! 100% recommend - it’s called Milan!!

What I am just reading backblaze is no longer backing up any cloud sync’d folders! Ok I need to have a think about snapshot solutions again I think. I mean we know iCloud / OneDrive is not a backup but I guess in theory they have all your files so backblaze backup and cloud download should be ok…

Mandatory Arts

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:44:34 +0100

As the world becomes further fractured and harder to navigate and understand, I continue to be more and more convinced that we need as many creative thinkers as possible. Creativity isn’t something some of us are born with its something born out of the act of being creative this is a process, the process is bound up in undertaking the Arts, to see the world differently, to imagine new possibilities.

So please in the UK I propose that the set of mandatory GCSES should be;

Arts
English Language
Maths
Science

Just testing Inkwell on iOS and also podcast playback in the macOS version !

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:15:20 +0100

Ok flexibits and fantastical have literally came to my rescue and sorted it! All is forgiven what a fantastic service even when dealing with a very grumpy me. Now to reinstall all my Microsoft apps on my iPad 🤪🤦

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 20:35:32 +0100

So right now even with the test flight beta Fantastical has been rendered completely useless for my office 365 work account on my iPhone and iPad what a blooming week and I live in my Fantastical calendar! Not holding out a ton of hope for a fix either…

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 19:09:11 +0100

On the day I happen to need to re authenticate my Microsoft 365 account with Fantastical is the day I hit two bugs that basically locks me out of calendars on iOS… waiting for them to send me test flight beta… too late for iPad I deleted all Microsoft apps trying to figure out what had happened

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:53:09 +0100

upgraded macOS 26.4.1 (25E253) and my macOS Fantastical Office 365 (work) account starts working but this now has broken iOS devices on 26.4.1 already 🤦 unbelievable… I really rely on my calendar but I cannot use outlook calendar on macOS or iOS as its just terrible… but this is the dance!

A minor Ui issue with showing replies in inkwell on web fyi @manton (I’m sure you are already aware)

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 07:05:20 +0100

Interestingly at the moment inkwell is my feed of very specific micro.blog and mastodon people and a few blogs that I really don’t want to miss. I am going to slowly build the collection but I like it as it feels more curated and more slow news nice one @manton put me on the beta app too ;)

Well @dajb@social.coop / @thoughtshrapnel shared this game with our gaming crew this morning playstarfling.com which is very cool. Simple idea super well executed. I then found Hacker News Arcade! hnarcade.com setting aside time to browse !

Wrath of Khan

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 08:01:43 +0100

When ed-tech fails to bring about its revolution – as it always does – a couple of things are sure to happen:

First, teachers get blamed for “doing it wrong.”

Secondly

students get blamed for “doing it wrong” – in this case, not asking the chatbot the right kinds of questions.

Students didn’t want to use Khanmigo (Ai)

So “now Khanmigo (Ai) is incorporated directly … because ‘students were not seeking out Khanmigo’s help as much as we had hoped.'” Don’t want it? Too bad. It’s part of the curricular infrastructure now, suckers.

So I decided I am away for a couple of days and I will not take my laptop but iPad… let see if it actually manages to catch up sync with iPhone and mac… it always a nightmare when I haven’t used it in a while…
