Content warning:Alcohol; selfie with eye contact

Last night @bright_helpings and I visited Base Bar in #Manchester. It's a #baseball themed bar with batting cages at the back.

We finally got to present them with the #MNTwins pennant I picked up at Target Field a couple of years ago. They were chuffed and hung it pride of place from the bar

We were there for a queer meetup which was good fun. We drunk a lot of beer and some of their cocktails (E was on the Home Rum while I tried various including the Suicide Squeeze), and came second in the impromptu quiz.

Today in #InfoSec:

1. One of our customers has a #BEC
2. Email from $custdomain to one of our users telling them to click on $phishdomain and enter their credentials
3. User doesn't fall for it and escalates to yours truly
4. I email our MSP and ask them to block mails from $custdomain, check whether anyone else received them, and whether anyone clicked on $phishdomaon
5. My emails to MSP doesn't go through because of the domains mentioned in it
6. Have to chase up MSP by phone who has no record of my ticket(s), eventually redact the domains in a new email to create the ticket and give them over the phone instead.

I have a problem with the #MNTwins #baseball celebration. That's clearly not a "Spartan" helmet, it's a Roman helmet.

The typical "Spartan" helmet (actually "Corinthian") is a closed-face helmet with an angular nose bridge and tight cheek guards, dating to the 7th Century BC.

The helmet in the Twins dugout is a Roman galea, open-faced with hinged cheek plates, dating back to 4th century BC at the earliest, some 300 years after the Corinthian. This one has a centurion's red plume, which implies it's a design closer to 100 BC.

So only half a millennium between the two...

Well fuck. Spilled Diet Coke in my keyboard the other day. Washed it out, left it to dry. Just plugged it back in and not only is it fucked, it took out the USB hub I connected it to.

Very happy with #Manchester and other #Pride events banning political parties from participating, since none of them will actually stand up for us when it counts.

There are people who care about #LGBT+ equality in many parties, but as organisations we've seen time and time again that the parties won't support us if it risks costing them anything.

For every good activist, there's a queerphobe in a position of authority in the party hierarchies, and they're the ones who call the shots on whether the nicely-worded policies actually get enforced.

Holy moly that was a nailbiter! I didn't toot much because @bright_helpings had to go to bed early (UK time) and I was keeping him informed.

But wow, those last innings in particular were some damn fine #baseball from both teams. #MNTwins #SFGiants

And the cutest little boop on the butt for the runner at first base!

Some absolute genius put an ice cream van outside a hardware store so me and @bright_helpings could reward ourselves for lugging bags of dirt around.

Shortly after this I became known as Captain Sprinklebeard, the My Little Pirate.

Content warning:Exercise, food (vegetarian), selfie with eye contact

Had a nice evening taking my bike to a couple of #Manchester parks and playing #PokemonGo. I listened to my Thursday #Doof club stream on #Twitch in one earbud, so I could keep the other ear on the roads.

I tried racing a bus home and I'm suffering a little as a result - I've got a sore throat from breathing so hard. But I'll be fine, and @bright_helpings cooked the veggie shepherd's pie I prepared yesterday so there was tasty food waiting for me at home.

On my way home from the dentist I stopped off at a Chinese supermarket and picked up pork buns and malted soy drink for lunch. Om nom nom.

Content warning:Dentistry, positive

On my way to the dental hospital. I've been looking at getting an implant to replace the tooth which got wobbly and was removed 15 years ago.

The implant surgeon wants to consider the other ways in which my teeth are... interesting before committing to the implant, which will limit options for dealing with other things in future.

So today I get to meet with a dental surgeon, an orthodontist and a maxillo-facial surgeon to discuss what to do with the lower half of my face to make sure it "works" for the rest of my life.

Been a good #polyamory day. Helped my boyfriend assemble a raised planter for the garden for my other resident partner, then biked over to see my girlfriend and be kind to her while she's feeling poorly. Then home for boyfriend snuggles and Netflix.
