Apple is building major defense against spam calls
”iOS 13 will allow calls to ring your phone from numbers in Contacts, Mail, and Messages and route any number that can’t be found in one of those places to voicemail.
That setting goes on as soon as I get iOS13.
Ummm .. say what now?

Thirteen Years Ago ... needless to say - nothing has changed, other than more people are aware ... hoping that this will make even more people aware ... and then we do something about it.

Definition of ‘Typo’
”that which auto-magically appears after proof-reading a gazillion times.”
How very annoying / sad … just discovered it - and already it is too late.
Any alternatives?
An Introduction
Cogs In The Machine
In Brief
People make their money through ‘business’.
People save or spend their money with a ‘business’.
People are thus central to any business.
So why does it seem that People are an afterthought
People First is focussed on a new way for People and Business to engage
We put people at the
Anti-Trump protesters to be kept away from Downing Street … writes the Guardian … shame on them …
BUT … where there’s a will there’s a way … and nothing like a good challenge to motivate creative thinking.
“Why would anyone want to do this”
… said the ‘consumer engineer’ about the idea of ‘self sovereign identity’.
Sitting in a coffee bar earwigging a conversation between three ‘tech’ dudes.
One is setting up a demo on the computer …. as they chat about the security of using a second hard drive and blah blah …
“What’s your password?”
“The same as the machine access ….1234”

I was thinking about the expression
“How people want to be made to feel”
and it struck me as odd phrasing … do you want to be made to do anything … even feel good?
John Cleese criticised for saying London no longer an English city
That all said, background stuff aside and certainly the twitter rampage ….
”We are proudly the English capital, a European city and a global hub.”
Sadiq Kahn
… funny - I thought London was also the capital of The United Kingdom?
”He’s clearly a really smart, funny man, but it is basically a very racist tweet.”
Dom Joly
… racist? Did he read it?
🎶 🎶 🎼 🎼 🎹 🎹 Music … interested? Read on.
I learned something today … thankyou @smokey - enter a URL … like (say) JustGoodMusic.Net … and it is suddenly an entity to be followed within micro.blog
I choose that URL specifically … I own it - but it has sadly languished for a few years and is due for renewal. I was going to let it die … you can find it in the way back machine, though just a shadow of its former self and I just don’t have the time these days.
But, instead of letting it go … an idea …
What if JustGoodMusic.Net was reborn and lived in MicroBlog?
Here’s what I am thinking …
@manton sets up micro.blog/justgoodmusic
I point the ‘justgoodmusic.net’ DNS to that account.
The microblog account is a shared account that a few volunteers have access to … so they can post into that account … aswell as their own and all those music posts appear at justgoodmusic.net .
Maybe we can set it up so that any post tagged with 🎶 or 🎼 or 🎹 automatically gets posted to justgoodmusic (stretch goal?)
In this way - JustGoodMusic.Net becomes a music domain that represents the best of the micro blog music collegiate … is that something that could be worked out @Manton?

Who Is The REAL Taron Egerton - And Why Is He Welsh?
I had cause to look up Taron Egerton on Wikipedia (do you need to know why) … where I read …
”Taron David Egerton (born 10 November 1989) is an English-born Welsh actor.
… which to me at least doesn’t make sense - so I checked out some more … my bold
”He was born in northern England but raised Welsh. Egerton’s parents, who are both British, moved from Cheshire, England to Wales when he was a baby. “All my friends are Welsh, I speak Welsh, and I feel very Welsh,” he said.
So if I ‘feel' European … do I have to worry about Brexit? Assuming I speak German or French or one of the other ‘Euro' languages?
Seperate fact - at one point he did live in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - take note @derekpeden :-)
His grandmother was born in Wales - so I guess he is at least 25%.
