28th July, 2026.
Late nights …
We all get them, don’t we … ?
I (almost) had one last night.
I was just getting ready for bed … and then noticed the little red dot on my System Settings, the little red dot that told me I had an available update.
Given I wanted to sleep … ?
I decided to leave it: for now.
That bed of mine looked comfy!

It turns out The Times ran an article: telling us news I’m interested in.
It seems the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is contemplating reforming the election system.
To introduce both compulsory voting — with a £10 fine — and a ‘None of the Above’ option to the ballot.
I don’t like the idea of compulsory voting: it means we, the voter, cannot ignore an election if we don’t want to take part in it.
I don’t like the idea of compulsory voting: that earns you a fine.
For me, £10 is a few days worth of electricity, a few days worth of gas, a bag of frozen sausages, and some potatoes.
So?
No: I don’t want to see compulsory voting.
But putting a ‘None of the Above’ option on the ballot?
Is something I’ve supported for years …
That, or spoiling one’s vote, are very good ways of improving a ballot.
