A narrow strip of unused land beside one of London's busiest roads has been transformed into 97 homes.
Designed by Peter Barber Architects, Edgewood Mews in North London features two rows of distinctive brick buildings arranged around a car-free pedestrian street.
The buildings facing the North Circular Road help shield the residential area from traffic noise, creating a quieter space between the two rows.
Half of the homes are designated as affordable housing, and the development also includes a cafΓ©, a corner shop, and underground parking.

And he agreed to have his face in the article? They couldnβt have beaten me into submission to admit that happened, let alone tell a newspaper β¬οΈ
Someone is in a hole heap of trouble.. they've used one of my email addresses as their email address, not sure if it's intentional but now they're being chased for a debt.

I was cleaning up DNS and found a record called:
OLD-PAYROLL-PROD
It pointed to a server named:
DO-NOT-DELETE
No owner.
No documentation.
No tickets mentioning it since 2019.
I asked three senior engineers what it did.
Nobody knew.
So naturally I deleted it.
Four minutes later every hourly employee disappeared from the timeclock system.
I restored the record.
Everyone came back.
We still don't know what the server does.
We don't know where it physically lives.
We don't know who pays for it.
We don't know why DNS controls payroll.
We only know that if it disappears, 600 people stop getting paid.
I renamed the record:
DO-NOT-DELETE-SERIOUSLY
Audit asked me to document the dependency.
I listed the system owner as:
βAncient forces beyond our understanding.β

Neal had been driving at excess speeds on his way to Aberystwyth to watch a football game when he lost control of his car and strayed across the carriageway.
Would've killed anyone on a bike.

Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week.
Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round.
I said sure, but first can you do me a favor
hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick.
He froze.
Didn't move.
Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me.
That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does.
These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now.
The setup is always the same:
- flattering DM
- real-sounding project
- rushed timeline
- a "quick step" before the call
that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise.
If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam.
Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.

The executives said the boardroom Wi-Fi βfeels slow.β
Speed test: 487 Mbps.
Apparently 487 Mbps has bad energy.
So I created a new network:
EXECUTIVE_PRIORITY_5G
Same access points.
Same internet connection.
Same VLAN.
I just gave it a more expensive name.
Connected the CEO.
He opened a website and immediately said:
βOh wow, this is way faster.β
By lunch, five VPs had asked for access.
I told them executive bandwidth is limited and I can only approve users with a genuine business requirement.
They are now competing for access to Wi-Fi they already had.
Performance is unchanged.
Satisfaction is through the roof.

This from the RNLI press office today:
βWeβve seen a significant increase in the number of donations we have received this week, and weβve welcomed a number of new supporters to our charity.
As always, weβre so grateful for the support we receive from our amazing supporters - without them we would not be able to deliver our vital lifesaving service.
Β
Sadly, we have also been contacted by a number of supporters and members of the public who have informed us that they wish to withdraw their support in recent days.
Β
Everyone at the RNLI remains focused on our core purpose of saving lives at sea.β

Wish @easyJet could get some slots @HeathrowAirport then I wouldnβt have to waste my money on @British_Airways. I accept paying extra to get the seat I want at the front, donβt appreciate you then moving us to the back and not telling us until we board.

Lumo announce partnership with PNE focused solely on the 5 away games in London but they donβt run a service back to Preston after 16:19 haha
Think you probably need to rethink that one, @LumoTravel π€―π«£
My biggest grudge at the moment, mobile apps which sign you out periodically or when an update happens.
Some supermarkets only offer discounted prices via app opt in.
This affects the elderly or those who aren't tech literate who rely on friends and family to help them out.
