I'm not convinced that "I need to write software to do what the court has ordered me to do" is a strong defence when (a) there'll have been a month between first seeing that requirement and the required implementation, and (b) a core argument of the person making this has been "Matthew can't be an expert on computers because he doesn't have a degree in CS, unlike me" and if you really can't hack your custom SSG to force insert a fixed link I'm not sure you get to call yourself a computer expert

@mjg59 Could just take the whole thing down and replace it with a static page to gain compliance šŸ˜‰

(The answer is to add a link in Generator/HTML/index.shtml)

@mjg59 Maybe they need a more detailed court order? šŸ™ƒ I'd love to see a court order being like:
- Declare a variable in line 24!
- Put a semicolon in line 75
- Ternary operator in function foobar

@mjg59 you couldn't possibly know that, only people with CS degrees can be Computer Thing Knowers.

@mjg59 quite a bold strategy to try to bullshit the court

@mjg59 what

@mjg59 I use the term, "graduate of computer science" in the pejorative. Perhaps you should, too.

@mjg59 The argument that you don't know about computers as you don't have a CS degree is hilarious. However, would you like an honorary PhD in CS? I think there is a good chance I could arrange that. You would have to come to Glasgow and give a short speech to the other graduating Strathclyde students...

@DanielRThomas @mjg59 if it helps the argument, I also have a degree in electronics, not computing... šŸ™‚

@DanielRThomas having never been to Glasgow but having heard so many amazing things about the place I would absolutely be down to do so without any additional degrees

@mjg59 @DanielRThomas Glasgow has the cutest little subway system. And some other features too, but the cute subway is always the first thing that comes to mind.

@kp @DanielRThomas Also traffic cone hats

@mjg59 Great. You are most welcome to visit wherever is convenient and we can show you around.

@mjg59 I’m sure an independent expert witness testimony and associated costs would not be very welcome
