Tomorrow @octopus.energy will pay me about £5 to fully charge my car! 😆 Their ‘Agile’ tariff changes price every 30mins with demand, sometimes going negative. Hopefully this is genuinely interesting, but here’s my spammy £50 referral link too: share.octopus.energy/ore-dodo-89904 Apr 2026 15:55 +0000at://did:plc:dvenlnchxlibgczvj33ncdqv/app.bsky.feed.post/3miolvrbar22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/paulannett.com/post/3m7boowvhoc2jIs there a word for the recent phenomenon where us customers get tracking systems that show staff gaming their impossible-to-meet performance targets in real time? Like that notification for a delivery attempt that your doorbell camera somehow completely missed.05 Dec 2025 23:54 +0000at://did:plc:dvenlnchxlibgczvj33ncdqv/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7boowvhoc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/paulannett.com/post/3m6gzcjb7rc2lApparently my payroll account gets deactivated due to inactivity if I don’t log in to it at least once a month. Who is downloading their (monthly) payslips more than once a month?! 🤪25 Nov 2025 09:22 +0000at://did:plc:dvenlnchxlibgczvj33ncdqv/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6gzcjb7rc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/paulannett.com/post/3m66k5edmbk2tI went curling yesterday while on a work trip to Toronto. 🥌 It was great fun! I thought it would be like bowling but it’s much more in depth. Surprisingly physical, and now every part of me hurts. (to the point where I’ve been told at home to stop moaning!)22 Nov 2025 00:29 +0000at://did:plc:dvenlnchxlibgczvj33ncdqv/app.bsky.feed.post/3m66k5edmbk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/paulannett.com/post/3m4kvob7dys2zIt seems like @monzo.com's phone menu doesn't recognise tones being sent from any iOS device I've tried. Phone bug? Monzo bug?

If you own a stack of domains for side projects you’ll get to one day, you might enjoy this too!09 Sep 2025 22:49 +0000at://did:plc:dvenlnchxlibgczvj33ncdqv/app.bsky.feed.post/3lygsiwvy622qhttps://bsky.app/profile/paulannett.com/post/3lwbnx72og22oFalse advertising from Europcar: I booked an EV for a holiday in Spain. Website says "no recharge required" – the collection desk argued I must recharge it before returning it, and finally caved when I showed them the website. I get home, and – surprise surprise – they charged me for recharging. 🤷‍♂️13 Aug 2025 10:54 +0000at://did:plc:dvenlnchxlibgczvj33ncdqv/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwbnx72og22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/paulannett.com/post/3llqlqsbiw22xAI voice cloning scam calls – where scammers can record your voice to make an AI clone of it and then use that to scam your relatives. 👇 Presumably even your outgoing voicemail greeting might be enough for them to use if you don't answer their call.

If it was heartfelt it would be “I will miss them” or “many of us will miss them”. Same with saying “my apologies” instead of “I’m sorry”.17 Jan 2025 00:42 +0000at://did:plc:dvenlnchxlibgczvj33ncdqv/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfvkruneu22phttps://bsky.app/profile/paulannett.com/post/3lcj76r3wyc24This is my life now.
