This is a follow-up to Goodbye, Twitter. When I used that website, I generally kept things short. You had to, with only 140 characters, later upped to 280. Even though you could chain multiple tweets together, it wasn’t ideal. Now it’s 4000 for Twitter Blue subscribers.
So let’s return to those days by keeping this post short. I just want to say: I’m glad I got out when I did.
There’s been another Game Breaker’s Toolkit Jam! And it gave me the push I needed to revive some of my earlier internet silliness and let it see the 2020s. If you can’t be bothered reading the rest, it was at justwizards.me.
Ho ho ho ho, it’s References & Easter Eggs time again! What could possibly be hidden inside such a silly throwaway? Rather a lot indeed, it transpires!

Guess what day it is, will be, or was! That’s right — the 14th of March, which can be written as 3.14 if you have trouble writing dates. In other words, π.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, I have created a pi generator (or, more accurately, adapted an existing one that I don’t fully understand).
A great breakthrough has occurred in the field of artificial intelligence. The machines now know all about Java Cake Games! ChatGPT doesn’t have a clue, likely due to the age of its training data, but Bing is on the ball!
Today, I went into Sainsbury’s for my Thursday Meal Deal treat. A wrap, Fanta and snack for £3.50.
