Wednesday night was busy on the Internet - At work we also came within a few % of a traffic record. This year, seems to be many more big sporting events distributed mainly by streaming services. For nerds: our traffic is about 75% PNI or near cache with balance on IX/transit.

But I’m hungry!!!

Was a massive privilege to run & exchange some words with @EddieIzzard at Endcliffe parkrun in Sheffield this morning.

The Fediverse / Mastodon is quite a neat toy and an interesting technical implementation. I'm having a play, you can follow me as @[email protected] if you're testing it too. [ Andyd.uk/andyd ]

This is the best public analysis into a whitebox switch I’ve ever seen.

Happy Christmas Jumper day.

Little twitter break over (though I have been reading nerdy news on Mastodon) and a little actual work break over. We had some fantastic family time.

If you’re going to use phrases like “a kebab in a bao” then you’re going to win some exploratory orders from this man.

GET IN!!! If this can preserve then I will be getting my final Club Tropica X out at 90 mins.

The circle of life. My little one playing Outrun, one of my favourite games 30 years ago, tonight at the brilliant Away We Go 💛💛

Finally seen Top Gun Maverick (it was good if improbable, it would inspire a good VR game) and an ultra HD stream (it was good, was about 18Mbit/5 min avg).

Gary’s views are reasonable and supportable for any individual, and the reported actions of the GB state broadcaster in response to them are unacceptable.

Been to some fab boozers but this is an outstanding one. Mel’s Craft Beers in Vienna needs to be on your flavour pilgrimage.

Tomorrow (May 4) younger people will find it harder to vote (cf. bylinetimes.com/2022/11/07/vot… ) If you consider yourself to be younger, please go and vote on Thursday. 🗳️

Question for those who know the North East of England better than I do. What’s fun for kids, South of Gateshead, North of York, and not something I can do in/around Sheffield? I was thinking Diggerland but am not a theme park lover & they’re rubbish with one year olds. Any tips?

Reading “Beyond Everywhere” by Greg Ennis. I realise that this beautiful paragraph about a chance hallway encounter at an IEEE meeting describes the start of many of my important business and personal relationships, only at RIPE, UKNOF, NANOG, Peering fora, and IXP meetings!
