I need everyone to understand that the pandemic is erroding my social skills in a manner extremely similar to Yoda's stay on Dagobah. Do not expect prequels Yoda coherence from me after this. It's all hitting people with my cane and unhinged cackling from here on out

The worst thing about two weeks of overnight roadworks might be that complaining about it has led to me regularly checking Twitter again. ...actually, no, the lack of sleep is the worst thing but Twitter's a close second.


I've been complaining to the council about the roadworks and got told it was all meticulously planned and many experts were consulted before they decided to dig up the road at 2am. Apparently no one checked where the pipes were...

Sometimes C++ just scares me. This code (based on something I encountered at work) looks reasonable, compiles, and will work exactly as the original programmer intended. The last two parameters are completely the wrong way round.

Dusting off my Twitter account to mention how much I'm enjoying seeing all the pitches and helping teams at #digitalhealthpf. Didn't expect to be asked for help debugging drone-controlling JavaScript this weekend but here I am.

As written there was no distinction between "other crafts" and the examples. Rules as written it's possible to specialize in knowledge of all art that is not "guitar, dancing, or painting."
