Reading: Still re-reading Lord of the Rings. Shelob has just ambushed Frodo. The end of Book 2 is in sight at which point I start on my less-pleasingly bound Volume 3. When I first bought Lord of the Rings I only found Fellowship and Two Towers in my local book shop, assumed that was it, and bought both of them only to later discover that The Two Towers ended on a cliffhanger and there was a third volume to be sourced somewhere. I am now thinking that maybe I should treat myself to nice matching versions of the three books.

Listening: In Our Time on the Hanseatic League. Not as interesting as I had hoped, though possibly I just wasn't really in the mood.

Watching: Mostly Bones and NCIS. However I notice that Jodie Whittaker has been in some kind of Celebrity Great British Bake Off and am wondering if himself can be persuaded to watch - he's not generally amenable to Celebrity cooking shows on the grounds that a significant number of the celebrities make a point of not being able to cook.

One of what is fast becoming a sub-genre of Doctor Who photos - the Doctor reading the first issue Doctor Who Weekly.

The doctor-whordle repository is still live on GitHub in spite of the expiry of the 1 business day deadline (I think). So possibly my email saying I had made the required changes has worked, or possibly they've got the email so have stayed execution until someone can review it, or possibly they are just assuming anyone who has bothered to send the email is fine and can be ignored from now on...

... we wait to see.

Via Github I have received a DCMA takedown notice for the repository containing the code for my Doctor Whordle game. Apparently the New York Times is going after the repository I forked the base code from and all forks.

Anyway the takedown message referenced

1. Use of the word wordle
   
2. Green and Yellow colour scheme
   
3. 5 by 6 grid
   
4. Keyboard below the grid
   

Now my current version of the game doesn't do any of that beyond keyboard below the grid. The Keyboard is now above the grid. Admittedly my game does have a 5 by 6 grid in Random mode but since wordle doesn't have a Random mode...

I've then jumped through some slightly convoluted hoops to delete the entire history of possibly copyright infringing* commits from GitHub. I'm not sure if that worked but I have responded to GitHub stating the changes made and wait to see if they delete the repository or not. Even if they delete the repository it's not clear to me that the actual web app will go down since it's on GitHub pages but, presumably, they will get to that eventually.

* Honestly, IANAL, but I am dubious that you can claim copyright for a 5 by 6 grid with a keyboard below it, but nor do I have time nor energy to argue with the NY Times about this.
