Sorry, let me fix that.

Excellent podcast on Java stewardship with @mreinhold.org

Final version.

Good APIs are like ogres: they have layers.

Three of my #CallOfCthulhu scenarios are on sale, so this is your chance to pay me less than usual!

“Attract Fish & Chips”

Good afternoon, #Devoxx. I know that there there are a lot of interesting sessions this afternoon, but only one of them will feature dancing!

You know what to do.

See you in room 4, at 15:00, for my session “A Long Spring: 19 Years of Living with Your Past Mistakes”.

'What Difference Does It Make? (John Peel Session, 5/18/83)' van The Smiths op Apple Music Nummer· 1984 · Speelduur 3:13

Listening to The Smiths to get me in the right mood for my presentation this afternoon.

Goedemorgen Antwerpen!

I certainly have considered that all player characters are idiots, especially as GM.

Great bollocks of fire.

Am I doing this right?

Yes, but I set tab width to ⅓, so it all works out.

I prefer tabs to spaces, to be honest.
