Weekly climbing social around Preston?
I called up Preston wall and they told me they don't, boulder UK offers one monthly
I'm hoping to find one that's weekly - if none exists would anyone be interested?

Anyone want a cycling bud?
A few weeks back I joined u/notfiontan on his tandem cycling from Preston to Kendal
I really enjoyed the 1-1 conversation whilst cycling and being relatively new to the area I'm hoping I can find others who want to make the most of the sun whilst it lasts.
If you're up for a sunny 10-20 mile ride to a pub & back HMU

Mapping mobile dead spots around Preston
I built canopy to help avoid my calls cutting whilst I'm out
With the weather being nice today I plan on getting out on my bike to see how
much of Preston I can cover.
I'm interested to know which areas are already known to be patchy
And here's the link in case any of you are interested.

Just added a bunch of engine dev utilities to The Grand Chess Tree
Tools from left to right:
- Fen viewer
- Bitboard viewer
- Perft / divide tool
- PGN viewer
Building a move generator can be pretty finicky & frustrating at times, so I hope these tools can help out!

Fellow Prestonions, I didn't realise how bad it was.
206 rainy days a year
8th worst place for weather
Truly justified to moan about the weather
Makes it even more sweet when it's like it is this morning tho.
If you want to feel more validated, compare with other uk cities / towns https://right-to-complain.co.uk/

Solar / Electricity price API, free forever, no sign up
I’ve been tinkering with some Home Assistant automations for my solar setup, and as part of that I ended up building an API that gives free hourly solar forecast & wholesale electricity pricing for any UK postcode, without any signup / api key / tokens / tracking
Hopefully, in some small way, it can help people make better use of their solar and have a positive environmental impact.

I’m building a Home Assistant automation to make my solar setup run a bit more efficiently & economically. As part of that, I needed solar production forecasts and Octopus Agile pricing data.
I made my API free to use, no key / signup or anything like that.
If it’s useful for your own setup, feel free to use it.
