My most recent film has had over 48,000 views. Check it out. The only word to describe this experience is “incredible”. I play an evil scientist. It wasn’t a stretch. youtu.be/xG-BJf1yPY4?...

I just had a great nap. I woke up in time to go to sleep ☺️

Danielle Smith, if you so badly want to leave Canada, then I strongly suggest you leave Canada.

How was this almost 12 years ago? HOW?

Whichever fuckwits over at CBC decided to run ads over the opening ceremony should be fired.

I’m constantly reminded about assumed knowledge. Today I am getting a tyre repaired, and I left a locked phone with the tech to unlock my car. They didn’t know that you *don’t* have to swipe the phone near the car. You just have to walk up to it. I humbly apologized after explaining it.

“‘Craft’ means knowing what the outcome of your work will be.” youtu.be/U8dcFhF0Dlk?...

I noticed very shortly after moving here that there’s very little real journalism being done this side of the world. CBC proving me right once again.

around age 35 you start clearing your throat and just never stop

La la la, just Oscar nominee and multiple award winning Frank Darabont casually listed as director for two episodes of Stranger Things.

The separatist Albertans look exactly how you think they do.

Meet Lola West

It only took a month to finish my first book of the year. Sigh.

This is how Danielle Smith is fixing healthcare. Here's a screenshot with grey text on a grey highlight over a white background, to pay a bill online. I literally can't read this. When I use text recognition in macOS Preview on this screenshot, I finally can read it, but there is also a typo.

What the heck is Twitch and why is this app asking for my location? (I know what Twitch is.)

I can’t remember how I heard about WE ARE LEGION (WE ARE BOB), but I’m finally reading again. Thanks, mystery recommender.

New SSMS content navigation bar is live!

Meet GABA receptors in your area

Samsung: “You need 2FA to log in” Also Samsung: *can’t deliver an SMS* Aside from the fact that they’re using text messages for 2FA in the year of passkeys, what the heck is going on over there?

Well, it was nice knowing you Redgate. If you work there, get out NOW.

I am sad about this keyboard arrangement…

Hey Bluesky, please support my new friend on this new day of this new year. Books are the one place advertisers haven’t gotten into yet: your imagination. sigridmacdonald.com

Wow, 1986 was a great year for music. And it was just about 40 years ago…

I'm sorry your baby is crying right now. Have you tried taking it farther away from me?

Thinking about the systems I’ve built, and two stand out. 1. I designed and built the core data architecture underpinning a large-scale banking loyalty platform that serves millions of customers, and processes high-volume, high-value transactional reward calculations.

Two from Calgary Expo: Christopher Lloyd walks into a washroom where I’m cleaning out a coffee urn for the green room. I say, “I guess you’ve discovered our secret”, and he goes, “Ha!” Next day, just me in the room, Anthony Daniels comes in and asks me for a cup of hot tea. I make good tea.

Once fell over someone else's toddler in a shopping centre who laughed about it and proceeded to run off and trip up someone else and his mum was running around after him going JESUS CHRIST JEREMY YOU LITTLE BASTARD and I think about that a lot

I wouldn’t mind having apps for everything if people just wrote software properly in the first place, and respected memory usage, user experience, user interface design, assistive technology, proof reading their own documentation, and not using web views everywhere. Write native code, you cowards.

I cracked the code. Told my boomer dad that having motion smoothing on his TV 'makes it work twice as hard' and will 'wear it out faster' and now hes obsessed with making sure its off.

when someone’s net worth reaches a billion dollars it should roll over to zero like the scores in old video games

It’s been a tough couple of months with our pets, so I just want to remind folks that whatever is aggravating you online really isn’t important. Spend as much time with your loved ones as you can, human or otherwise. Life is short.

New article time! This one's about Planescape: Torment. I was commissioned to cover it, so I have. I was... disappointed to find I didn't really like the game. I tried not to be too mean, but I really, really disliked this game's treatment off women. docseuss.medium.com/okay-heres-t...

As an experiment, I finally relented and let YouTube suggest videos for my timeline. I selected about three from the list of ~20 it suggested. All 20 are now in my recommendations. Remember when software development was a craft?

When the KLM representative at the airport said “I don’t care about your luggage” and “I had to work over Christmas”, I was able to enter a new level of dislike for this whole luggage debacle.

Ok, since this has come up four times in the last three days: REPUTABLE LITERARY AGENTS WILL NOT CHARGE YOU MONEY. IF A LITERARY AGENT WANTS TO CHARGE YOU FOR AN "EXPEDITED ACCESS PACKAGE" THIS IS A SCAM.

Does anyone else spend this time of year having no bloody clue what day of the week it is?

@sqlgene.com I can’t believe I created a Reddit account to agree with you about something…

Another good one

I maintain that much of the events of the past five years can be explained by COVID19-induced sub-clinical brain damage. Most folks have had it, it knocks ~2 points off IQ (using it as an approximation for cognitive ability here), and, like 1.5℃ of climate change, that's much worse than it sounds.

Things I’ve learned about losing luggage: I *can* pack less in future and get away with carry-on. I think I’m just going to do that in future.

got my adhd upgraded to ad4k

Ok everyone, pay up. I got this card right here that says: It is your birthday. Collect £10 from each player.

Hallmark has done every plot, so it is time for the apotheosis of Christmas movies: a big city lawyer returns to her small hometown and falls in love with an actual Christmas tree. After a series of missteps, they get married and have tree/human babies. Their hybrid spawn scream in endless torment 🎄

It’s not blue.

I sense something gay is about to commence

I think I accidentally invented a new computing paradigm. I hate it when this happens.

My friend @sqlgene.com reminded me why I know a little bit about predictive text algorithms. Back in the mid 1990s when IRC was a thing, I was trying to build a bot with my friend Steven (whose birthday was this week, HB) and I wondered if I could make it sound like me to bypass IRCop rules.
