Mayo, All-Ireland Champions!!!

Now the traditional dashing of the hopes of the Mayo fan begins.

@ianRobinson It’s on the Cricket Ireland YouTube channel (if you’re in the right country, or know how to make it look like you are) *whistles innocently* https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I don’t often write on my site but I had some feelings to get off my chest about Cricket Ireland inviting the Afghanistan men’s team to tour. https://deeden.co.uk/articles/2026/04/24/cricket-ireland-a-criticism-of-the-afghanistan-mens-invitation/ #cricket…

Cricket Ireland announced the Irish international fixtures for 2026 on the 21st of March.

I was wrong, it worked 🎉

Testing posting to my website from Mastodon now that I've moved host.

In a strange turn of events two accounts have appeared on mastodon.social impersonating me, and also sending direct messages.

@kev I’ve never had a bother with buying on Discogs, so maybe it’s just you ;)

@nivrig I have exactly the same problem when I try.

I am apparently at the age where Willie Nelson is an excellent accompaniment to writing code.

Every time Desmond Hart is mentioned in #DuneProphecy I can’t help but think of him as “Dessie Hart” and wonder how his county team is doing without him at corner forward.

I finally did something with @cricsheet that I’ve been thinking about for a while.

As a temporarily unattached Cleveland #Browns fan the only joy I get from their games is seeing DeShaun Watson get pummelled.

Sad to see Takakeisho retire today, but glad that he’s looking after his health.

As I've moved to my own domain it seems like a good time to do an #introduction post.

I wonder how long it will take FastMail to get back to me about their apparent union busting.

It gives me great pleasure to discover that there is a cricket umpire in Cyprus called Windy Miller!

Losing I can live with, but that was an embarrassingly awful batting display by Ireland.

Success!

Once more into the testing…

I _think_ things are working.

Please also ignore this further follow-up experiment.

Pay no attention as I experiment with something.

It looks like that page is having “issues”.
