When people ask me: “Why are you into floppy disks today?” the answer is: “Because I forgot to get out of the business.”

Everybody else in the world looked at the future and came to the conclusion that this was a dying industry. Because I’d already bought all my equipment and inventory, I thought I’d just keep this revenue stream. I stuck with it and didn’t try to expand.

Over time, the total number of floppy users has gone down. However, the number of people who provided the product went down even faster.If you look at those two curves, you see that there is a growing market share for the last man standing in the business, and that man is me.

I found this to be a really interesting interview!

We’ve got a good one this week! Series 11 episode 6, “Demons of the Punjab”, an episode that dares to ask, “what if Yaz got to be the main character?” Well, not really, but almost! The Tardis Team(?!?!) are going back to 1947, moments before the announcement of the Partition of India, to investigate the mystery of her grandma’s watch that we saw that one time. Just who are the titular demons? The answer may surprise you!

sometimes the chibnall era likes to troll us by giving us a very good episode



saw a rando saying they've been enjoying something called "lemmy" as a reddit replacement and I looked it up out of curiosity and saw the words "A link aggregator for the fediverse." and immediately closed the tab
