When I grow up, I want to write a compiler for something.
No reason. Just looks like an interesting challenge.

Saw a person delivering the post on a little red scooter. The letters on the scooter’s numberplate were CDN.
That amused me quite a lot more than it really should have.

@quephird@tech.lgbt now I wanna go write a compiler…
Looks like fun!
I just worked out how to update the "new spreadsheet" template in Excel.
I've been an IT professional since the mid 1990s and I've used Excel pretty much every day since then. Still - better late than never.
Mostly I quite like my job.
Today … not so much. Home wifi was down, and tethering from my phone was NOT being reliable. And it was hard to tell when the software was broken because we hadn’t built it right, because someone had deleted a bunch of critical core config, or because my sample data was built for a whole other environment.
Meh. But I’ve got a job, and a good relationship with my wife kids. So … yeah. I’m one of the lucky ones.
I hope your day is going ok too. :-)

More by good luck than anything else, but I’ll take the win. :-)

@Remittancegirl@mstdn.social I suspect Drump is not the sort to do anything he doesn’t feel like.

@tizlit@freeradical.zone … is that paper napkins?
I assume she chose to lie on them? A bit like the cardboard box thing?

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange @zino@bsd.network Which country are you in?
I work for Technology1, we have offices in Australia, UK, Bali, and India.
I think it’s lovely here but I’m a cishet bloke. That said I’d be very happy to pass your question on to some of my female colleagues if that’d be useful.

Hi @mczachurski@mastodon.social
I used to use #wallpapper all the time but it's not working on macOS 26+ due to #Mojave being deprecated.
Just wondering if you have plans to continue developing it? No problem if not, I can fork and create a new version. But I thought I'd check with you first. :-)
- thanks!
RE: @countablenewt@mastodon.social
I’m not sure what it says about me, that I have an overwhelming urge to request that you replace the slashes with dashes.
I'm trying it now ... looks good so far. :)

@kevpeirce@aus.social I actually lived in Launceston for a few years, awhile back, but I don’t remember these. I’m guessing that’s the Tamar in the foreground? May I ask what suburb this is in?

@andycarolan@social.lol yeah, I’ve been known to indulge … but so far only on Bedrock (so my phone and Xbox).

@andycarolan@social.lol my jam is to play on easy mode (survival not creative, but Peaceful) and just gather resources and build stuff.

@davewalker@mastodon.social Any chance you could put this up on RedBubble or TeeFury or something? I would *love* to buy a tshirt of this.

@davewalker@mastodon.social … so I just found the link to your shop. :-) Please ignore my previous post!

@davewalker@mastodon.social Fair enough .. I look forward to seeing what options I have. :-)

@samwho@hachyderm.io hi Sam! Just a thought - would it be worth separating each symbol out to its own line, in the source code, to make PRs easier? And less likely to cause conflicts with other PRs?
I’m happy to do a PR for that change, if you think it’s a good idea.

@kevpeirce@aus.social Thanks!
I will go play with google maps for a bit. :-)
Hi @lexfri@hachyderm.io !
FYI, some bits of the Cryptogram app seem to be having trouble with data updates.
All other apps on my phone are connecting to the Internet just fine.
Let me know if you would like me to try any diagnostic fun. :-)

I remember someone doing translation checking, in a pseudo language which was English but just upside down. Which made it really easy to tell if any strings had not been internationalised.
This was several years ago, and I can’t remember if it was iPhone, or something else like Java / MIDP. But it looked cute. :-)

@nami@tech.lgbt @marnanel@queer.party ugh. I wish I could call this an over reaction. I wish I could say this is ridiculous fear mongering.
But if the Orange Asshole gets back in … well, this will probably turn out to be very wise advice.

@Annacats@mastodon.social So sorry to hear it. We have no cats that look like Molly, but here’s a photo of Hazel in case it helps.

@nschultz@aus.social my kid was at a concert at the Lion Arts Centre just near there tonight, was a lovely drive in to the city to pick her up after the show.
