#DICEKEYS: ever since discovering #PGP - Pretty Good Privacy - while at uni and reading #PhilZimmerman’s Intro to Cryptography, I was hooked. Security and privacy go hand-in-hand, but keeping your keys and passwords safe over the long-term can be a challenge. Step forward #dicekeys, which generates 196-bit backup security keys designed to be locked away and last a human lifetime, a neat gimmick to hand over my passwords as and when I’m no longer around… that isn’t electronic… and no, btw, this isn’t my final key… #entropy

INCOMPATIBILITY | Sunday, March 14, 2021

#INCOMPATIBILITY: these two things do not go together. Suddenly I see the point of #ebooks. It’s either that or learn to eat #jalebi with a knife and fork. Maybe chopsticks. The #NHS might see this post, suddenly assign me to a higher risk category and send an ambulance to vaccinate me. Can’t believe it’s half-past March. What a week. What a year. #optionality #richardmeadows

WOODS | Sunday, February 28, 2021

#WOODS: you often find this kind of picture in art galleries or exhibitions with pretentious blurb next to it, or just “Untitled, 2007” as if there’s something profound going on. There might be, but it hardly takes a photojournalist to figure it out. People live in the woods, but only as one of several locations, and this is one way of securing some possessions by making it really awkward to carry them away. #bicycle #trolley #homelessness

#NEWMUSIC: so two great mates have rolled out new music on top of a stack of recommendations I’m trying to get through but tonight’s the night I put on the #Grados and sit back for @beautifulterriblethings and @karikirklandmusic - and yes, I have been listening to Roy Ayers tonight while playing Super Mario Kart - #yesh #tunes

PROGRESS | Saturday, February 27, 2021

#PROGRESS: we returned with wire cutters and stripped the tree of the bit of fence that had been wrapped around it - previously used by people sleeping in it. I do not begrudge anyone a spot to sleep off the ground, especially an area prone to flood, but this was getting spiky. We trimmed it and added it to the den. Junior also found a ripped tent that had been discarded and a swimming kickboard thing which we tied and hung to provide some shelter. Thank goodness for the humble Swiss Army knife. A good few hours work away from comics, iPads and being cooped up. #den #richmond #leicaq2 #leica #growingup

#DEN: bordering Princess Loewenstein’s beautiful Petersham Lodge lies a little patch of woods which is perfect for den-building, especially when the light floods it in the afternoon. #richmond #thames #petersham #leica #leicaq2

#SWITCH: it’s #repairfriday, fixing the Joycon rail which involves mostly dismantling the little machine. Only a short job, and one of the many fantastic things about this device is how rebuildable and repairable it is, armed with a small set of tools. The greatest portable games machine ever. #nintendo #itstimetoplaymariokart

#STICKS: thankfully the mud has lessened and the local volunteers have been out putting wood chips on the worst bits. Nice light this afternoon. #woods #Richmond
