Software developer (mostly Java). I blether about:
- dev and tech
- politics, from a Scottish perspective
- cycling as transport
- learning Hungarian
- slice of life stuff

I’ll probably mention Star Trek and Sonic the Hedgehog more than I really should.
Found one yesterday that listed my flat, which is on the 1st floor of a 3-storey building, as “attic flat ground”.

Scotland makes way more sense if you rotate it 45° clockwise.

ADO has its quirks but I am _longing_ for that menu on the left that had Code, Commits, Branches, Tags, Pull Requests, _all right there_ and not shotgun-blasted all over the interface like GitHub seems to do it.

I think the last time I listened to this it was over dialup

I've been asked whether Algernon Goldfish might have done it. While he was just the kind of fishy character who might have attempted a crime on this scale, he was struck off the register after I wrote the article, which left him floundering. At the time he was almost the only operator who had been.

I’m old enough to remember when the BBC used old footage of Johnson at the cenotaph, to cover the fact that he was hung over and looked like a burst mattress on a tip.
The DG didn’t resign though

I wonder if Jesus played the invisible accordion like Trump does when he speaks? It would certainly explain why they felt the need to nail his hands to a bit of wood.

Williams calling AI the human centipede of content is what I needed to hear today.
