Iโ€™ve had to frantically pivot to this after Newcastle lost to West Ham.

Wasnโ€™t US East the default region for all AWS accounts back in the day? Perhaps a lot of folk never switched.

I wondered if they were at half-mast or if they just couldnโ€™t be bothered to climb the whole lamppost

In 1999 you wouldโ€˜ve put good money on them being the ultimate โ€œof their place, of their timeโ€ band. And yet.

Wow yeah itโ€™s really good. Iโ€™d never heard of them. Cheers!

Hi @aleksandrhovhannisyan.com just wanted to say that your brilliant article Performant Game Loops in JavaScript (www.aleksandrhovhannisyan.com/blog/javascr...) was the foundation for my site newcastlewonthecup.com. It helped me get where I needed to go so quickly. Thank you!

FileMaker is still going and still a great choice for a lot industries and teams with complex and evolving needs!

Also, ad is still valid as FileMaker > power apps

Complete CSS - Course overview

The best decision I made this year was to pre-order Complete CSS by Andy Bell (piccalil.li/complete-css). The content is wide-ranging, practical, and human-centered, just like the web at its best. The presentation and pacing are spot on too.

See โ€œTV funnyman Nicholas Lyndhurstโ€ for the UK version of this. But it wasnโ€™t a joke, it was just how he was described in the Radio Times as his next doomed vehicle was about to air.

Remembering lyrics over a 20+ year career is the TMG, Hold Steady and Los Campesinos equivalent of running 5km and doing 6 costumes changes in a set.

I assumed it was the conclusion to a saga. Like she was planning to put them down and people got mad so they had to assemble some โ€œexpertsโ€ to say the cats were miserable all along.

Oh I see, yes, not a useful term if it obscures a more established one.

Light Aircraft on Fire was such a stand out in the Evening Session era. Didnโ€™t realize at the time that I was hearing a punk song masquerading as a Britpop song.

I always took it as capitalism in humanity standing in for cancer in a person. So itโ€™s โ€œlate stageโ€ in the sense itโ€™s about to terminate humanity.

On returning to the UK I noticed they had split dryers into two categories: cheap ones that work but you have to buy from online-only places (vented) and expensive ones that donโ€™t work that you get in curryโ€™s (non-vented). I guess because renters canโ€™t happily cut a hole in an exterior wall.
