  Requested a repeat prescription a week ago. GP just approved it. The pharmacy has to wait a bit to receive it. They estimate sending the medication to me on 17th. Will I have to feel bad about phoning 111 on Saturday to get an emergency prescription for my trip to Canada on 20th, do you think?

  That emergency alert seemed a bit excessive, no? This heatwave has been ongoing for weeks.

  RE: https://ruby.social/@issyl0/117039772743541318 I started building this thing and it’s actually turning out alright. I can tell because it’s now 2am and I got engrossed in it.

  RE: https://ruby.social/@issyl0/117039772743541318 If you're drinking your morning coffee right now, was it a pod one and do you use the UK Podback recycling scheme? I've made a thing. It texts you when your pod bag is likely full so that you remember to take it to the supermarket drop-off point instead of letting it rot in the cupboard for weeks. Signups are open at https://rebrew.coffee.

  The @DevOpsDaysLondon conference is in a few weeks on 17th September! That means that I’m spending a Saturday evening doing one of my favourite* jobs, counting lanyards. To make it worth it, ask me for a free ticket! *and it’s cat approved too

  Has anyone analyzed the Household Response electoral register “security” codes? Are they an encoding of names/addresses? Why are they in the same email as the link to fill it out if it’s for security? Don’t get me started on the domain name… #uk #government #ukpol #localgovernment

  LG wanted to charge me £1200 for the repair of my 40” monitor, which considering I bought it new in 2022 for £1500, not worth it. We tried replacing the boards ourselves, that wasn’t the problem. Put it on Freecycle for spares and repair. The person who comes to collect says “I think it’s the backlight, if I can fix it do you want it back?” It’s a good world!
