I would happily watch Jan read Wikipedia.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already. It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

FDR commits to significant rearmament in the Dec 1938 budget for 39/40; although there is still isolationist opposition, the direction of travel is already public as early as this.

You didn’t realise you needed a Puffin painted onto a Players Richmond cigarettes drinks mat from the 1950s but you do in fact need a Puffin painted onto a Players Richmond cigarettes drinks mat from the 1950s.

Don’t worry. I have one for you.

@unamccormack.bsky.social said I was bound to know someone on the list, and I did. I worked with Peter Maydew back in the day. He did the HW for CCD systems, and I did the firmware and SW. I remember him being a lovely chap who put up with an insufferable 25yo me.

Unexpected rabbit hole today is discovering that "Phwoar!" was first recorded by the dictionary in 1976, and 1972's Carry On Matron may be its first film appearance.

I thought I'd found an earlier 60s TV use, but it seems "Phwoar!" is firmly a 70s phenomenon.

Those hotdogs won't sell themselves.

Ah, here it is. Well worth a read.

Initially I thought the image was character animation frames from a Spectrum game I didn't know.

(And 100% agreed - accessibility is really important.

Our much missed designer Paul Waller wrote quite a bit about it. Here's one on use of colour. endjin.com/blog/2023/02... )

The economics of self-releasing music as physical media, a thread.
My first self-released CD is SEA OTTERS by The Bionics, an album of Not-Quite-Techno made in a very analogue way, and on our Bandcamp page along with 17 back catalogue treats.

I quite like the way "The Nerve" design looks like they have defrosted late 1980s/early 1990s "Youth" TV from a cryogenic store they found in a cellar when they redeveloped Television Centre.

I imagine he would like it to be known that it is as much a surprise to him as it is to you.

A purple plush t-rex-style dinosaur with red eyes, white teeth, and a green jacket, on a desk next to a trimphone. An analog clock with large red dots as placeholders for the numbers, and the Swap Shop logo in bold red all-caps letters are on the back wall, along with a shelf of assorted plush toys including Snoopy.

Sacrifice the libations to the Protective Deity of the Edmonds Cult?

Thinks: maybe the weather can also be adjusted by coffee and a piece of toast?

The daughter had their first ever round of mini golf at the Kingsway Golf Centre the other weekend. It featured dinosaurs, a waterfall, and was pronounced excellent.

Copy deadlines are copy deadlines.

Unfortunately this post made me search the ingredients for both products because I couldn't not know.*

Now the internet believes I want to be presented with thousands of ads for protein shakes.

* (one is pea protein and water, the other milk).

There are 4 occurrences of "some place".

I did have to check the text as modern US English is full of Victorianisms. But I am relieved to say "someplace" does not occur in Oliver Twist.

He plays ANDY SERKIS in an episode of The Bill, too.

True story: I got asked about this during my oral qualifying exam — where I had the flu and was on like eleventy drugs — and blanked on Olber’s name 😭

But thankfully I knew the paradox, which is a fun one:

I really like the way it asks you to test the assumptions in the question. People should do that more in all walks of life!

As an #nffc fan living with a Celtic type I approve this plan.

(doing the usual trick of putting that code somewhere that gets used as a buffer so you maximize space)

Why not write a bit of code to emit the 8-way code at runtime?

I love this film. Another one that the 11yo expected to find boring but, watching in the cinema, was totally absorbed.

I think it depends on whether you would choose to offer them an "in person" explanation as to why you no longer see them/take their calls IRL.

I often find muting to be enough to take things I don't want to see out of my timeline without causing offence I don't intend, tho.

Glasgow friends!!
