Like that time I wrote a book and realized on day one I hadn't even given any thought to what might be in it. First order of business was the chapter headings :)

#Rstats / #Rstudio people. I want to set my R Studio Keyboard Shortcut to Ctrl + Shift + . (so that it's effectively Ctrl + >). However the editor types "Ctrl + Shift + >" every time I try to do this. Can I set it somewhere else?

Found myself wondering exactly that (do they work on their time off just to keep ahead) on Sunday when I quite often get deliveries.

There was a nice article a couple years ago about how tough that job is, and the unrealistic deadlines they're expected to work to.

If you take the action of current TV pundits, you'll be calling for the preservation of 3G and reintroduction of 2G as 'it reminds us of a simpler time'... :-)

Great new paper on identifying body fluids, and mixtures of body fluids with my excellent young colleague, Dr Courtney Lynch:

Not bad. I wish I'd used a bit more flour to thicken the sauce more, but the flavour was good.

It's a part of a trilogy, but can be read on its own. My summer plan is to read all three books again.

James Curran @profjamescurran.bsky.social · 3d

The book is awesome - but be warned the pace is quite gentle

This has just gone in the oven. I'll let you know how it turns out. Spoiler alert: mine has carrots in it as well.

Coq au Vin

A traditional Coq au Vin recipe, with very tender chicken in a rich red wine sauce. Incredibly easy to make, and it's even better the next day!

Perfectly normal in the Netherlands, so why not here?

Please note, I have made a bunch of logo colour variations for this shirt because the logo doesn't work well on all T-shirts. I have done this using the ochRe pacakge, and the colour from the R Logo.

Also, if you're interested in a double logo (front/back) or a hoodie option let me know.

Thanks to @visnut.bsky.social, I can now offer recreations (in non-original colours) of the useR! Conference Attendee shirt from Brisbane (2018). They are cheaper than the Aalborg ones because they only have a logo on the front. All profits will go to the R Foundation #Rstats

Might have said that once or twice to my consultant team...and that sending emails with sections in bold red to indicate your irritation with clients is not the right way to go about things 😁

Bummer - I hope Di does. I imagine that design would be quite popular.

Did that 5 years ago when @siouxsiew.bsky.social recommended it. Hopefully now the clinics don't need to order the shot first. Also note, that it's a month between injections.

Me too :-) I wonder if @emitanaka.org might have it?
